NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted)
1. Description of Business
We are a digital sports entertainment and gaming company. We provide users with online and retail sports betting (together, “Sportsbook”), online casino (“iGaming”) and daily fantasy sports (“DFS”) product offerings, as well as digital lottery courier, media, and other product offerings.
In May 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court (the “Court”) struck down on constitutional grounds the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, a law that prohibited most states from authorizing and regulating sports betting. As of June 30, 2025, 39 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico have some form of authorized sports betting. Of those 41 jurisdictions, 33 have legalized online sports betting. 32 of those 33 jurisdictions are live, and DraftKings operates in 26 of them. As of June 30, 2025, the U.S. jurisdictions with statutes legalizing iGaming are Connecticut, Delaware, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia.
As of June 30, 2025, we operate our Sportsbook product offering in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Wyoming and Ontario, Canada, and we operate retail sportsbooks in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin. As of June 30, 2025, we operate our iGaming product offering in Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ontario, Canada. We also have arrangements in place with land-based casinos, and other partners, to expand operations into additional states upon the passing of relevant legislation, the issuance of related regulations and the receipt of required licenses.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting. As such, certain notes or other information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been omitted if they substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”). These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. Results of operations reported for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year, due to seasonal fluctuations in the Company’s revenue as a result of the timing of various sports seasons, sporting events and other factors.
All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain amounts, which are not material, in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . ASU 2023-09 modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. All entities are required to apply the guidance prospectively but have the option to apply it retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our income tax disclosure.
7
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosure of income statement expenses.
3. Business Combinations
Acquisition of Jackpocket Inc. ( “ Jackpocket ” )
On February 11, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Jackpocket Merger Agreement”) to acquire Jackpocket, which is a digital lottery courier app in the United States (the “Jackpocket Transaction”).
On May 22, 2024 (the “Jackpocket Closing Date”), DraftKings consummated the Jackpocket Transaction, and, under the terms of the Jackpocket Merger Agreement and subject to certain exclusions contained therein, Jackpocket stockholders received approximately $ 452.3 million of cash consideration and approximately $ 320.8 million of equity consideration.
The acquisition of Jackpocket allows DraftKings to participate in the U.S. digital lottery courier business with expected ancillary benefits to its Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings by enhancing customer lifetime value and customer acquisition capabilities.
Purchase Price Accounting for the Jackpocket Transaction
On the Jackpocket Closing Date, the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interests of Jackpocket pursuant to the Jackpocket Merger Agreement. The following is a summary of the consideration issued or paid on the Jackpocket Closing Date:
Cash consideration $ 452,322
Equity consideration (1)
320,783
Total consideration $ 773,105
(1) Includes the issuance of approximately 7.5 million shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock issued at $ 41.90 per share and $ 6.2 million of options exercisable for shares of DraftKings Inc. ’ s Class A common stock, which were issued to certain Jackpocket employee option holders in exchange for their Jackpocket options.
8
The following table summarizes the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the consummation of the Jackpocket Transaction on the Jackpocket Closing Date:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 45,999
Cash reserved for users 23,349
Receivables reserved for users 9,092
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 4,151
Property and equipment 1,523
Intangible assets 269,736
Operating lease right-of-use assets 2,579
Deposits and other non-current assets 136
Total identifiable assets acquired 356,565
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses 33,961
Liabilities to users 16,877
Operating lease liabilities 2,580
Other long-term liabilities 80,463
Total liabilities assumed 133,881
Net assets acquired (a) 222,684
Purchase consideration (b) 773,105
Goodwill (b) – (a) $ 550,421
Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the difference between the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and the underlying liabilities assumed. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of benefits from securing buyer-specific synergies that increase revenue and profits and are not otherwise available to a market participant, as well as acquiring a talented workforce and cost savings opportunities. Goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the Jackpocket Transaction is assigned as of the Jackpocket Closing Date to the Company’s consolidated reporting unit. As Jackpocket ’ s financial results are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to not include pro forma results.
Intangible Assets
Fair Value Weighted-
Average
Useful Life
Customer Relationships $ 174,000 8.0 years
Developed Technology 67,000 5.0 years
Trade Name 27,000 7.0 years
Market Access 1,736 2.9 years
Total $ 269,736
Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, developed technology, trade name and market access. We used variations of income approaches with estimates and assumptions developed by us to determine the fair values of customer relationships, developed technology, and trade name. We valued customer relationships by using the multi-period excess earnings method which requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, attrition rates, operating margin and discount rates. For developed technology and trade name, we used the relief from royalty method including the use of significant estimates and assumptions including royalty rates and discount rates. For market access, cost approximated fair value. We amortize definite-lived assets based on the pattern over which we expect to receive the economic benefit from these assets.
Transaction Costs
9
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $ 10.4 million and $ 15.3 million, respectively, in advisory, legal, accounting and management fees in connection with the Jackpocket Transaction, which were included in general and administrative expenses. There were no such costs incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Acquisition of Simplebet, Inc. (“Simplebet”)
On August 28, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the “Simplebet Merger Agreement”) to acquire Simplebet, which is a leading sports betting provider of in-play micromarket content and pricing (the “Simplebet Transaction”).
On December 3, 2024 (the “Simplebet Closing Date”), DraftKings consummated the Simplebet Transaction, and, under the terms of the Simplebet Merger Agreement and subject to certain exclusions contained therein, Simplebet stockholders received approximately $ 36.0 million of cash consideration, approximately $ 45.1 million of equity consideration and additional equity contingent consideration. The present value of the equity contingent consideration of $ 53.5 million at the acquisition date, which is payable upon, and subject to, the achievement of certain performance targets, is included in other long term liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Operating results for Simplebet on and after the Simplebet Closing Date are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, including for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Preliminary Purchase Price Accounting for the Simplebet Transaction
On the Simplebet Closing Date, the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interests of Simplebet pursuant to the Simplebet Merger Agreement. The following is a summary of the consideration issued or paid on the Simplebet Closing Date:
Cash consideration $ 35,965
Equity consideration (1)
45,145
Contingent consideration (2)
53,535
Total consideration $ 134,645
(1) Includes the issuance of approximately 1.0 million shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock issued at $ 43.97 per share.
(2) Contingent consideration of up to 3.5 million shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock may be payable through December 31, 2026, subject to the achievement of certain future performance targets for the Company as a whole. The Company recorded a fair value estimate of the contingent consideration, as disclosed in “Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement”.

The purchase price allocation for Simplebet set forth herein is preliminary and subject to change within the measurement period, which will not extend beyond one year from the Simplebet Closing Date. Measurement period adjustments will be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined and may include adjustments pertaining to intangible assets acquired and tax liabilities assumed, including the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Any such adjustments may be material.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the consummation of the Simplebet Transaction on the Simplebet Closing Date. The values set forth below are preliminary, pending finalization of valuation analyses:
Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,002
Accounts receivable 931
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 282
Operating lease right-of-use assets 144
Property and equipment 32
Intangible assets 62,120
Total identifiable assets acquired 68,511
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses 5,374
Operating lease liabilities 144
Other long-term liabilities 11,500
Total liabilities assumed 17,018
Net assets acquired (a) 51,493
Estimated purchase consideration (b) 134,645
Estimated goodwill (b) - (a) $ 83,152
Goodwill represents the excess of the gross consideration transferred over the difference between the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and the underlying liabilities assumed. Qualitative factors that contribute to the recognition of goodwill include certain intangible assets that are not recognized as separate identifiable intangible assets apart from goodwill. Intangible assets not recognized apart from goodwill consist primarily of benefits from securing buyer-specific synergies that increase revenue and profits and are not otherwise available to a market participant, as well as acquiring a talented workforce and cost savings opportunities. Goodwill recognized is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill associated with the Simplebet Transaction is assigned as of the Simplebet Closing Date to the Company’s consolidated reporting unit. As Simplebet’s financial results are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to not include pro forma results.
The Company recorded intangible assets related to developed technology of $ 62.1 million that will be amortized over six years . We valued developed technology by using the multi-period excess earnings method. The process for estimating the fair values of identifiable intangible assets requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including revenue growth rates, and discount rates. We amortize definite-lived assets based on the pattern over which we expect to receive the economic benefit from these assets.
Transaction Costs
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, the Company incurred no advisory, legal, accounting and management fees in connection with the Simplebet Transaction.
Other 2024 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interest of Sports IQ Analytics Inc. (“SIQ”) and Dijon Systems Limited (“Dijon”). SIQ and Dijon were acquired for aggregate cash payments of $ 28.2 million and aggregate equity consideration of $ 10.8 million on the respective closing dates of such acquisitions. In addition, the Company is subject to contingent consideration payments of up to $ 33.3 million in the aggregate for both acquisitions, subject to the achievement of certain performance targets, with a fair value estimate on each date of acquisition of $ 24.4 million included in other current liabilities and other long term liabilities. The Company recorded goodwill of $ 35.2 million, of which none will be
11
deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $ 34.9 million that will be amortized over seven years as well as deferred tax liability of $ 7.7 million, in relation to these acquisitions.
As financial results of SIQ and Dijon are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company has elected to not include pro forma results.

5. Current and Long-term Liabilities
Credit Agreement
On November 7, 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions, as lenders, and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, providing for a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $ 500.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of November 7, 2029.
12
Revolving loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Company’s election at either (i) Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75 % to 2.25 % depending on the Company’s Net First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (ii) a base rate that is equal to the greatest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 %, (b) the prime rate and (c) Term SOFR for a one month interest period plus 1.00 %, in each case plus an additional applicable margin ranging from 0.75 % to 1.25 % depending on the Company’s Net First Lien Leverage Ratio. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrear ranging from 0.25 % to 0.375 % per annum of the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility depending on the Company’s Net First Lien Leverage Ratio. As of June 30, 2025, the Credit Agreement provided a Revolving Credit Facility of up to $ 500.0 million, and there was no principal outstanding thereunder. As of June 30, 2025, $ 10.0 million in letters of credit were issued under the Revolving Credit Facility, with $ 490.0 million available for borrowing.
On March 4, 2025, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Credit Agreement, providing for a new class of incremental term loans under the Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $ 600.0 million (the “Term B Facility” and, such term loans, the “Term B Loan”). The Term B Facility matures on March 4, 2032, and all unpaid borrowings, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, are repayable on such date (unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement). In addition, 1.00 % of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loan borrowed on March 4, 2025 is payable per annum in quarterly installments. In connection with the issuance of the Term B Loan, the Company incurred $ 11.9 million of lender fees and $ 3.1 million of debt financing costs, which are being amortized through the maturity date. The amortization of debt issuance costs was $ 0.5 million and $ 0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, which is included in interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Term B Loan under the Term B Facility bear interest at the Company’s election at either (i) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, Term SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.75 % per annum, or (y) in the case of ABR Term Loans, ABR plus an applicable margin of 0.75 % per annum (with each of the capitalized terms used in clauses (x) and (y) as defined in the Credit Agreement). As of June 30, 2025, there were $ 598.5 million aggregate principal amount of Term B Loan outstanding. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the Term B Loan approximates the carrying value, which was calculated using the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Term B Loan in an over-the-counter market on the last business day of the period, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement.
The performance of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest on substantially all of its assets. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including dividend restrictions, a public corporate credit rating requirement for so long as any Term B Loan are outstanding, and, with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility only, a financial covenant that the Company is required to maintain a Net First Lien Leverage Ratio not to exceed 4.50 :1.00, which is tested only if the aggregate amount of (i) revolving loans outstanding and (ii) letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility in excess of a specified threshold (unless cash collateralized) is in excess of 40 % of the total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Convertible Notes and Capped Call Transactions
In March 2021, DraftKings Holdings Inc. (formerly DraftKings Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Old DraftKings”), issued zero-coupon convertible senior notes in an aggregate principal amount of $ 1,265.0 million, which includes proceeds from the full exercise of the over-allotment option (collectively, the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes will mature on March 15, 2028 (the “Notes Maturity Date”), subject to earlier conversion, redemption or repurchase. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Old DraftKings incurred $ 17.0 million of lender fees and $ 1.7 million of debt financing costs, which are being amortized through the Notes Maturity Date. The Convertible Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of Old DraftKings, which are being amortized through the Notes Maturity Date.
The Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion rate of 10.543 shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 94.85 per share of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events and includes a make-whole adjustment upon early conversion in connection with a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes). Since the issuance of the Convertible Notes, there have been no changes to the initial conversion price.
Prior to September 15, 2027, the Convertible Notes will be convertible by the holder only upon satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, and thereafter, at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Notes Maturity Date. Old DraftKings will satisfy any conversion election by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock. As of June 30, 2025, no conditions were met to allow for the conversion of the Convertible Notes by any holder.
13
In connection with the pricing of the Convertible Notes and the exercise of the over-allotment option to purchase additional notes, Old DraftKings entered into a privately negotiated capped call transaction (“Capped Call Transactions”). The Capped Call Transactions have a strike price of $ 94.85 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions have an initial cap price of $ 135.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Capped Call Transactions are expected generally to reduce potential dilution to DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock upon any conversion of Convertible Notes. As the transaction qualifies for equity classification, the net cost of $ 124.0 million incurred in connection with the Capped Call Transactions was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Company ’ s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s convertible debt balance was $ 1,257.8 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $ 7.2 million. The amortization of debt issuance costs was $ 0.7 million and $ 1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $ 0.7 million and $ 1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which is included in interest expense on the Company ’ s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Although recorded at amortized cost on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, the estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was $ 1,134.9 million and $ 1,076.9 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which was calculated using the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Convertible Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last business day of the period, which is a Level 1 fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2025, the future principal payments for the Term B Loan and Convertible Notes were as follows:
Years Ending December 31,
July 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 $ 2,989
2026 5,933
2027 5,874
2028 1,270,815
2029 5,757
Thereafter 572,132
Total $ 1,863,500
Indirect Taxes
Taxation of e-commerce is becoming more prevalent and could negatively affect the Company’s business as it primarily pertains to DFS and its contestants. The ultimate impact of indirect taxes on the Company’s business is uncertain, as is the period required to resolve this uncertainty. The Company’s estimated contingent liability for indirect taxes represents the Company’s best estimate of tax liability in jurisdictions in which the Company believes taxation is probable. The Company frequently reevaluates its tax positions for appropriateness.
Indirect tax statutes and regulations are complex and subject to differences in application and interpretation. Tax authorities may impose indirect taxes on Internet-delivered activities based on statutes and regulations which, in some cases, were established prior to the advent of the Internet and do not apply with certainty to the Company’s business. The Company’s estimated contingent liability for indirect taxes may be materially impacted by future audit results, litigation and settlements, should they occur. The Company’s activities by jurisdiction may vary from period to period, which could result in differences in the applicability of indirect taxes from period to period.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s estimated contingent liability for indirect taxes was $ 89.4 million and $ 84.7 million, respectively. The estimated contingent liability for indirect taxes is recorded within other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
14
Warrant Liabilities
As part of the initial public offering of Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp. (“DEAC”) on May 14, 2019 (the “IPO”), DEAC issued 13.3 million warrants each of which entitled the holder to purchase one share of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, DEAC completed the private sale of 6.3 million warrants to DEAC’s sponsor (the “Private Warrants”), each of which entitled the holder to purchase one share of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share. As of June 30, 2025, there were no Public Warrants or Private Warrants outstanding. On April 23, 2025, the Private Warrants expired per the terms of the agreement. On May 5, 2022 (the “GNOG Closing Date”), DraftKings Inc. (formerly New Duke Holdco, Inc.) consummated the acquisition of Golden Nugget Online Gaming, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to a definitive agreement and plan of merger, dated August 9, 2021, in an all-stock transaction (the “GNOG Transaction”). On the GNOG Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the GNOG Transaction, Old DraftKings entered into an assignment and assumption agreement (the “Old DraftKings Warrant Assignment Agreement”) with DraftKings Inc., Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc. (together, “Computershare”), pursuant to which Old DraftKings assigned to DraftKings Inc. all of its rights, interests and obligations under the warrant agreement, dated as of May 10, 2019 (the “Old DraftKings Warrant Agreement”), by and between DEAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, as assumed by Old DraftKings and assigned to Computershare by that certain assignment and assumption agreement, dated as of April 23, 2020, governing Old DraftKings’ outstanding Private Warrants, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Old DraftKings Warrant Assignment Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the GNOG Transaction and pursuant to the Old DraftKings Warrant Assignment Agreement, each of the outstanding Private Warrants became exercisable for one share of DraftKings Inc. Class A common stock on the existing terms and conditions, except as otherwise described in the Old DraftKings Warrant Assignment Agreement.
In addition, on the GNOG Closing Date, in connection with the consummation of the GNOG Transaction, the Company assumed an additional 5.9 million warrants, each of which entitled the holder to purchase one share of GNOG’s Class A common stock at an exercise price of $ 11.50 per share (the “GNOG Private Warrants”). Effective as of the consummation of the GNOG Transaction, each of the outstanding GNOG Private Warrants became exercisable for 0.365 of a share of DraftKings Inc. ’ s Class A common stock, or approximately 2.1 million shares of DraftKings Inc.’s Class A common stock in the aggregate, on the existing terms and conditions of such GNOG Private Warrants, except as otherwise described in the assignment and assumption agreement relating to the GNOG Private Warrants entered into on the GNOG Closing Date. As of June 30, 2025, there were 3.0 million GNOG Private Warrants outstanding, convertible into approximately 1.1 million shares of DraftKings Inc. ’ s Class A common stock.
The Company classifies the Public Warrants, the Private Warrants and the GNOG Private Warrants pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging , as derivative liabilities with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recognized in its consolidated statement of operations at each reporting date. As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s warrant liability was $ 14.2 million. Due to fair value changes throughout the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a loss on the remeasurement of its warrant liabilities of $ 5.9 million and a gain on the remeasurement of its warrant liabilities of $ 9.8 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a loss on the remeasurement of its warrant liabilities of $ 3.4 million and $ 8.3 million, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, 0.1 million and 0.3 million Private Warrants were exercised, respectively. There were no GNOG Private Warrants exercised during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. These Private Warrants exercises resulted in a reclassification to additional paid-in-capital in the amount of $ 2.2 million and $ 11.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. On April 23, 2025, the Private Warrants expired per the terms of the agreement.
6. Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under U.S. GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value and nonrecurring fair value measurements are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:
• Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
15
• Level 2 — Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
• Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.
The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy:

(1) Represents the Company’s money market funds, which are classified as Level 1 because the Company measures these assets to fair value using quoted market prices.
(2) Represents the Company’s non-marketable equity securities, which are classified as Level 2 because the Company measures these assets to fair value using observable inputs for similar investments of the same issuer. The Company has elected the remeasurement alternative for these assets.
(3) Represents the Company’s derivative instruments held in other public and privately held entities. The Company measures these derivative instruments to fair value using option pricing models and, accordingly, classifies these assets as Level 3. There were no new Level 3 derivative instruments sold, purchased by or issued to the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The table below includes a range and an average weighted by relative fair value of the significant unobservable inputs used to measure these Level 3 derivative instruments to fair value. The key inputs to the valuations are underlying stock price, volatility and risk free rate. A change in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting date. Changes to fair value of these instruments are
16
recorded in Other gain (loss), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
(4) The Company measures its Private Warrants and the GNOG Private Warrants to fair value using a binomial lattice model or a Black-Scholes model, where appropriate, with the significant assumptions being observable inputs and, accordingly, classifies these liabilities as Level 2. Key assumptions used in the valuation of the Private Warrants and GNOG Private Warrants include term, risk free rate and volatility.
(5) Represents the contingent consideration issuable to former SIQ, Dijon and Simplebet securityholders in connection with the acquisition of SIQ, the acquisition of Dijon and Simplebet Transaction upon the achievement of certain performance targets. The fair value of contingent consideration was generally calculated using customary valuation models based on probability-weighted outcomes of meeting certain future performance targets and forecasted results. The Company classified the contingent consideration liabilities as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the lack of observable inputs used in the model. The key inputs to the valuations are the projections of future financial results in relation to the business, revenue risk premium, revenue volatility, and operational leverage ratio as well as management judgment regarding the probability of achieving a future performance target. The table below includes a range and an average weighted by relative fair value of the significant unobservable inputs used to measure contingent consideration at fair value. A change in these significant unobservable inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement at the reporting date. Changes to fair value of these instruments are recorded in Other (loss) gain, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
June 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Significant Unobservable Input of Level 3 Investments Range (Weighted Average) Range (Weighted Average)
Revenue volatility 10.6 % - 15.2 % ( 13.2 %)
17.3 % - 17.7 % ( 17.6 %)
Equity volatility 45.0 % - 47.1 % ( 46.2 %)

Settlement of contingent consideration liabilities ( 3,300 )
Fair value adjustment to contingent consideration liabilities ( 20,096 )
Balance at June 30, 2025 $ 54,569
7. Revenue Recognition
Deferred Revenue
The Company includes deferred revenue within accounts payable and accrued expenses and liabilities to users in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue balances were as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Deferred revenue, beginning of the period $ 133,700 $ 128,869 $ 166,463 $ 174,212
Deferred revenue, end of the period $ 116,258 $ 117,490 $ 116,258 $ 117,490
Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period $ 114,776 $ 103,033 $ 154,413 $ 168,604
Deferred revenue primarily represents contract liabilities related to the Company’s obligation to transfer future value in relation to in period transactions in which the Company has received consideration. These obligations are primarily related to incentive programs and wagered amounts associated with unsettled or pending outcomes that fluctuate based on volume of activity. Such obligations are recognized as liabilities when awarded to users and are recognized as revenue when those liabilities are later resolved, often within the following period.

The opening and closing balances of the Company ’ s accounts receivable from contracts with customers were $ 57.8 million and $ 69.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $ 47.5 million and $ 65.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.
8. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has historically issued three types of stock-based compensation: time-based awards, long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) awards and performance-based stock compensation plan (“PSP”) awards. Time-based awards are equity awards that tie vesting to length of service with the Company and generally vest over a four-year period in annual and/or quarterly installments. LTIP awards are performance-based equity awards that are used to establish longer-term performance objectives and incentivize management to meet those objectives. PSP awards are performance-based equity awards which establish performance objectives related to one or two particular fiscal years. LTIP awards generally vest when revenue and/or Adjusted EBITDA targets are achieved amongst other conditions, while PSP awards generally vest upon achievement of revenue and/or Adjusted EBITDA targets and have a range of payouts amongst other conditions. All stock-based compensation awards expire seven to ten years after the grant date thereof.

9. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2025 2024 2025 2024
Income tax provision (benefit) $ 11,790 $ ( 73,570 ) $ 6,190 $ ( 73,921 )
The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were 6.9 % and 773.6 %, respectively, and the effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were 4.7 % and 48.4 %. The difference between the Company’s effective tax rates for the three and six month periods in 2025 and 2024 and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% was primarily due to a valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets, offset partially by current state tax and current foreign tax. The Company regularly evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the “Act”), which introduced significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax code. The Act includes provisions affecting corporate tax rates on specified eligible income, timing of tax deductibility of depreciation, interest expense and research and development costs, and the taxation of foreign income. The effects of these changes will be recognized in the period that contains the effective date of the relevant change. We currently do not expect the Act to have a material impact on our financial statements. We will continue to evaluate the broader implications of the Act, including the potential effects of future regulatory guidance and interpretations. Additional adjustments may be required in periods subsequent to enactment as further information becomes available.
10. Segment Information
Segment Information
The Company has one consolidated operating segment. This segment provides users with Sportsbook, iGaming, DFS and digital lottery courier product offerings, media, and other online product offerings as well as the design, development and licensing of sports betting and casino gaming software for its Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings. The Company drives revenue primarily in North America and manages its business activities on a consolidated basis.
The determination of reportable operating segments is based on the Chief Operating Decision Maker’s (“CODM”) use of financial information provided for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company's CODM is its Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net income (loss) to allocate resources and assess the performance of the Company by comparing actual results to historical results and previously forecasted financial information and the allocation of budget between cost of revenues, sales and marketing, product and technology, and general and administrative expenses. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total consolidated assets.
The accounting policies of the Company’s consolidated segment are the same as those described in “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Polices and Practices.” Any intercompany revenues or expenses are eliminated in consolidation.
The following table presents revenue, significant expenses, and net income (loss) for our consolidated segment:

12. Related-Party Transactions
Equity Method Investments
The Company has committed to invest up to $ 17.5 million in DBDK Venture Fund I, LP and $ 21.0 million in DBDK Fund II, LP. Both funds are Delaware limited partnerships and are both managed by Drive by DraftKings, LLC (“DBDK”). As of June 30, 2025, the Company had invested a total of $ 11.9 million and none of the total commitment in DBDK Venture Fund I, LP and DBDK Fund II, LP, respectively. The Company also provides office space and general operational support to DBDK, which is partially owned by DKFS, LLC, an equity-method affiliate in which the Company has a 49.9 % membership interest, in exchange for services-in-kind. The operational support is primarily general and administrative services.
Aircraft
On each of March 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company renewed a one-year lease of an aircraft from an entity controlled by Mr. Robins, pursuant to which Mr. Robins’ entity leased the aircraft to the Company for $ 0.6 million for a one-year period (the “Aircraft Leases”). The Company covered all operating, maintenance and other expenses associated with the aircraft. The audit and compensation committees of the Company’s Board of Directors approved this arrangement, as well as the Aircraft Leases, based on, among other things, the requirements of the overall security program that Mr. Robins and his family fly private and the committees ’ assessment that such an arrangement is more efficient and flexible and better ensures safety, confidentiality and
21
privacy. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred $ 0.1 million and $ 0.3 million of expense under the Aircraft Leases, respectively, as well as $ 1.1 million for upgrades related to the aircraft.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Contractual Obligations and Contingencies
The Company is a party to several non-cancelable contracts with vendors where the Company is obligated to make future minimum payments under the terms of these contracts as follows:

Total $ 794,915
Surety Bonds
As of June 30, 2025 , the Company has been issued $ 460.0 million in surety bonds at a combined annual premium cost of 0.4 %, which are held for certain regulators’ use and benefit in order for the Company to satisfy state license requirements. There have been no claims against such bonds and the likelihood of future claims is remote.
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 30, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an aggregate of up to $ 1.0 billion of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). Under the Stock Repurchase Program the Company may make repurchases of its Class A common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws, subject to market conditions and other factors. The Company’s Stock Repurchase Program does not require it to acquire any specific number or amount of its Class A common stock and may be terminated at any time. The Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans from time to time to facilitate repurchases of its Class A common stock in connection with its Stock Repurchase Program.
The Company repurchased 2.9 million shares for $ 100.5 million and 6.5 million shares for $ 242.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, under the Stock Repurchase Program.
Contingencies
We are involved in a number of legal proceedings (including those described below) concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities. These proceedings are at varying stages, and many of these proceedings seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss can be made.
For certain cases described on the following pages, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss because, among other reasons, (i) the proceedings are in various stages; (ii) damages have not been sought; (iii) damages are unsupported and/or exaggerated; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories to be presented or a large number of parties involved. Unless otherwise indicated, for each of the matters described below, management does not believe that, despite the potential for significant damages, and based on currently available information, the outcome of any specific matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, though an outcome of a specific matter could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
22
Attorney General of Texas
On January 19, 2016, the Texas Attorney General issued an opinion letter that “odds are favorable that a court would conclude that participation in paid daily fantasy sports leagues constitutes illegal gambling” under Texas law. In response to the opinion letter, we sued the Texas Attorney General on March 4, 2016 in Dallas County, Texas.
The lawsuit makes five claims: (1) a claim for a declaratory judgment that daily fantasy sports contests do not violate Texas law; (2) a claim of denial of due process under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution; (3) a claim of denial of due course of law under Article I of the Texas Constitution; (4) a claim of denial of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and (5) a claim of denial of equal rights under Article I of the Texas Constitution. We are also seeking reimbursement of our costs and attorneys’ fees.
On April 16, 2018, the parties filed a notice of agreed non-suit without prejudice, and we re-filed our lawsuit against the Texas Attorney General in Travis County. On April 17, 2018, the Dallas County court granted the parties’ agreed non-suit without prejudice, thereby dismissing the Dallas County lawsuit without prejudice. FanDuel filed a petition in intervention on August 24, 2018, seeking essentially the same relief as the Company seeks. The parties filed an agreed motion to extend the scheduling order seeking, among other things, to change the non-jury trial date to January 18, 2027.
We intend to vigorously pursue our claims. In the event a court ultimately determines that daily fantasy sports contests violate Texas law, that determination could cause financial harm to us and loss of business in Texas.
We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of these matters or determine the extent of any potential liabilities.
Winview I
On July 7, 2021, Winview Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Winview”) filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In the complaint, Winview alleges that the Company infringes two patents: U.S. Patent No. 9,878,243 (“the ’243 Patent”), entitled “Methodology for Equalizing Systemic Latencies in Television Reception in Connection with Games of Skill Played in Connection with Live Television Programming”, and U.S. Patent No. 10,721,543 (“the ’543 Patent”), entitled “Method of and System for Managing Client Resources and Assets for Activities on Computing Devices”. The allegations based on the ’243 Patent are directed to Sportsbook, and the allegations based on the ‘543 Patent are directed to both Sportsbook and DFS.
On July 28, 2021, Winview filed an amended complaint, in which it alleges that the Company infringes two additional patents: U.S. Patent No. 9,993,730 (“the ’730 Patent”), entitled “Methodology for Equalizing Systemic Latencies in Television Reception in Connection with Games of Skill Played in Connection with Live Television Programming”, and U.S. Patent No. 10,806,988 (“the ’988 Patent”), entitled “Method Of and System For Conducting Multiple Contests of Skill with a Single Performance”. The allegations based on the ’730 Patent are directed at Sportsbook, and the allegations based on the ’988 Patent are directed at DFS.
On November 15, 2021, Winview filed a second amended complaint (the “SAC”), adding as defendants DK Crown Holdings Inc. and Crown Gaming Inc., a Delaware corporation, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. The SAC, among other allegations, repeats the allegations of the first amended complaint that the defendants infringe the ’243 Patent, the ’543 Patent, the ’730 Patent, and the ’988 Patent. On December 15, 2021, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the SAC, arguing that Winview failed to state a claim for direct infringement of the ’543 Patent and the ’730 Patent, and for willful, induced, and contributory infringement for all four asserted patents.
On August 3, 2022, we filed a petition for inter partes review with the PTAB challenging the validity of the ‘243 Patent. On July 25, 2022, FanDuel filed petitions for inter partes review with the PTAB challenging the validity of the '543 and '730 Patents. On September 20, 2022, the court entered an order staying the pending motion to dismiss and staying all discovery pending final resolution of the petition for inter partes review through a final written decision. On February 15, 2023, the District Court administratively terminated the lawsuit pending the PTAB’s final written decision. On January 29, 2024, the PTAB issued final written decisions in the IPRs, finding unpatentable all challenged claims of the ’243, ’543, and ’730 Patents. On February 16, 2024, the parties jointly requested that the case remain administratively terminated. On February 20, 2024, the court granted the request.
23
On March 29, 2024, Winview filed a notice of appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, challenging the PTAB’s final written decisions in the IPRs. On April 11, 2024, the parties jointly requested that the district court litigation remain administratively terminated until at least the Federal Circuit issues its mandate regarding Winview’s appeals. On April 15, 2024, the district court ordered the case to remain administratively terminated. On June 26, 2024, Winview and DraftKings filed a joint stipulation of voluntary dismissal of Winview’s appeal. On June 28, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ordered Winview’s appeal dismissed.
On December 17, 2024, the court dismissed all of Winview’s claims with respect to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,878,243 and 9,930,730. On January 6, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Winview’s direct infringement claims for U.S. Patent No. 10,721,543 as well as Winview’s claim for willful, induced, and contributory infringement for the two remaining patents-in-suit. On July 11, 2025, the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss without prejudice.
We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we are infringing the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages and/or an injunction that could require us to modify certain features that we currently offer.
We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of this matter or determine the extent of any potential liabilities. We also cannot provide an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. Any adverse outcome in this matter could expose the Company to substantial damages or penalties that may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows.
AG 18, LLC d/b/a Arrow Gaming
On August 19, 2021, AG 18, LLC d/b/a Arrow Gaming (“Arrow Gaming”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging that the Company’s DFS and Casino product offerings infringe four patents. On October 12, 2021, Arrow Gaming filed an amended complaint to add one additional patent. The following U.S. Patents are asserted against one or both of the Company’s DFS and Casino product offerings in the amended complaint: (1) U.S. Patent No. 9,613,498, entitled “Systems and Methods For Peer-to-Peer Gaming”; (2) U.S. Patent No. 9,978,205, entitled “Location Based Restrictions on Networked Gaming”; (3) U.S. Patent No. 10,497,220 entitled “Location Based Restrictions on Networked Gaming”; (4) U.S. Patent No. 10,614,657 entitled “Location Based Restrictions on Networked Gaming”; and (5) U.S. Patent No. 11,024,131 entitled “Location Based Restrictions on Networked Gaming” (collectively, the “Arrow Gaming Patents”).
On November 10, 2021, we answered the complaint and filed counterclaims (the “Counterclaims”). In the Counterclaims we seek, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the Arrow Gaming Patents are invalid. On December 1, 2021, Arrow Gaming answered our Counterclaims. On December 20, 2021, Arrow Gaming filed a second amended complaint adding new allegations with respect to alleged willful infringement.
On January 21, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s second amended complaint. On October 21, 2022, the Company filed a renewed motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint. On November 4, 2022, the Company filed a motion to stay the case pending resolution of the below-referenced petitions for inter partes review.
Between August 22, 2022 and August 30, 2022, the Company filed petitions for inter partes review (“IPRs”) with the PTAB challenging the validity of each of the Arrow Gaming Patents. On March 14, 2023, the PTAB granted institution of all IPRs. On March 12 and 13, 2024, the PTAB issued final written decisions in all pending IPRs finding all claims that were asserted in the litigation unpatentable. Only two claims were not found unpatentable: claim 18 of the ’205 Patent and claim 11 of the ’657 Patent. Neither of these claims were asserted in the litigation brought by Arrow Gaming.
On May 14, 2024, Arrow Gaming filed a Notice of Appeal of the IPR directed to the ’498 Patent. That appeal remains pending.
On July 10, 2024, DraftKings filed a Notice of Appeal of the IPR directed to the ’205 Patent challenging the PTAB’s final written decision as to claim 18 of the ’205 Patent. That appeal remains pending.
On April 3, 2023, the District Court administratively terminated the lawsuit pending the PTAB’s final written decisions. The parties have agreed to maintain the stay pending any appeals of the PTAB’s final written decisions in the IPRs.

Diogenes Ltd. & Colossus (IOM) Ltd.
On December 1, 2021, Diogenes Ltd. & Colossus (IOM) Ltd. (“Colossus”), filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company’s Sportsbook product offering infringes seven of its patents. The following U.S. Patents, each entitled “Wagering apparatus, methods and systems”, are asserted against the Company’s Sportsbook product offering in the complaint: U.S. Patent No. 8,721,439 (“the ’439 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 9,117,341 (“the ’341 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 9,275,516 (“the ’516 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 9,424,716 (“the ’716 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 9,704,338 (“the ’338 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 10,970,969 (“the ’969 patent”); and U.S. Patent No. 10,997,822 (“the ’822 patent”).
On January 24, 2022, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the original complaint. On February 7, 2022, Colossus filed an amended complaint (the “Amended Complaint”) to, among other things, assert one additional patent against the Company, U.S. Patent No. 11,200,779 (“the ’779 patent”). The patents asserted by Colossus are collectively referred to as the “Colossus Patents.”
The Company filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint on February 22, 2022. On July 18, 2022, Magistrate Judge Burke issued a report and recommendation (the “Report and Recommendation”) that the motion to dismiss be granted-in-part and denied-in-part. On August 26, 2022, District Court Judge Noreika adopted the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Burke regarding the motion to dismiss. On December 27, 2022, the Company filed an Answer to the Amended Complaint, including certain affirmative defenses. On January 17, 2023, Colossus filed a motion to strike the affirmative defense of unenforceability from the Company’s Answer. On February 7, 2023, the Company filed an Amended Answer and Counterclaims to the Amended Complaint, and also filed a response to Colossus’ motion to strike. On February 28, 2023, Colossus filed another motion to strike DraftKings’ inequitable conduct affirmative defense and counterclaim. Magistrate Judge Burke held a hearing on Colossus’ motion on June 6, 2023 and subsequently issued a report and recommendation (the “Second Report and Recommendation”) that the motion be denied in part and granted in part. On August 2, 2023, Judge Noreika overruled Colossus’ objections and adopted the Second Report and Recommendation.
Between November 29, 2022, and February 7, 2023, the Company filed petitions for inter partes review with the PTAB challenging the validity of the Colossus Patents. The PTAB granted institution of IPRs for each of the ’341 patent, ’969 patent, and the ’822 patent. The PTAB denied institution of IPR for each of the ’516 patent, ’716 patent, ’338 patent and the ’779 patent. On September 11, 2023, the Company filed a request for Director Review of the PTAB’s decision not to institute review in the IPR for the ’779 patent. On November 7, 2023, the Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office delegated Director Review of the PTAB’s institution decision in the IPR for the ’779 Patent to the Delegated Review Panel (“DRP”) to determine whether to grant rehearing. On February 21, 2024, the DRP issued a decision vacating the PTAB’s denial of institution of the IPR directed to the ’779 Patent and instructing the PTAB to reconsider institution. On May 15, 2024, the PTAB instituted the IPR directed to the ‘779 Patent. On May 9, 2025, the PTAB issued a final written decision finding all claims of the ’779 Patent that were asserted in the litigation unpatentable. On July 7, 2025, Colossus filed a Notice of Appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, challenging the PTAB’s final written decision in the IPR directed to the ’779 Patent.
On March 15, 2024, the parties entered into a partial settlement agreement, in which the parties agreed to, among other things: (1) dismissal with prejudice of the claims relating to the ’439 patent; ’341 patent; ’516 patent; ’716 patent; ’338 patent; ’969 patent; and the ’822 patent; and (2) DraftKings’ withdrawal of its IPRs with respect to the ’341 Patent, the ’969 Patent, and the ’822 Patent. The dismissal and withdrawal both occurred on March 18, 2024. Only the ‘779 Patent remains pending in the district court litigation. The parties have stipulated to a stay of the district court litigation pending resolution of the IPR directed to the ‘779 Patent.
We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we are infringing the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages and/or an injunction that could require us to modify certain features that we currently offer.

Steiner
Nelson Steiner filed suit against the Company and FanDuel Inc. in Florida state court on November 9, 2015.

By June 23, 2022, the MDL was resolved, except for Mr. Steiner’s action, and the court officially closed the MDL docket on July 8, 2022.
Mr. Steiner brings this action as a concerned citizen of the state of Florida alleging that, among other things, defendants’ daily fantasy sports contests are illegal gambling under the state laws of Florida and seeks disgorgement of “gambling losses” purportedly suffered by Florida citizens on behalf of the state. On June 23, 2022, the MDL court remanded Mr. Steiner’s action to the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Florida. Plaintiff has not yet filed an amended pleading.

Securities Matters Arising From DraftKings Marketplace (“Marketplace”) and Related Matters
On March 9, 2023, a putative class action was filed in Massachusetts federal court by an alleged purchaser of non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) on the Marketplace. The complaint asserted claims for violations of federal and state securities laws against the Company and three of its officers on the grounds that, among other things, the NFTs that are sold and traded on Marketplace allegedly constituted securities that were not registered with the SEC in accordance with federal and Massachusetts law, and that Marketplace is a securities exchange that is not registered in accordance with federal and Massachusetts law. Based on these allegations, the plaintiff brought claims seeking rescissory damages and other relief on behalf of himself and a putative class of persons who purchased NFTs on Marketplace between August 11, 2021 and the present. On September 25, 2023, defendants filed a motion seeking dismissal of this action. On July 2, 2024, the district court denied the motion to dismiss. On February 26, 2025, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement subject to, among other things, court approval. On July 30, 2025, the court entered its Order and Final Judgment, among other things, certifying the settlement class, approving the settlement and dismissing the action with prejudice. We established an accrual for this matter as of December 31, 2024.
Beginning in July 2023, the Company received subpoenas from the Securities Division of the Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Massachusetts Securities Division”) seeking information concerning, among other things, Marketplace and NFTs that were sold on Marketplace, and related matters, and from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) seeking documents concerning, among other things, the blockchain on which NFTs that were sold on Marketplace were minted and digital assets and validator nodes associated with that blockchain, and related matters. On June 3, 2025, the SEC informed the Company that it concluded its inquiry. We have complied with the request by the Massachusetts Securities Division.
Any adverse outcome in the Massachusetts Securities Division matters could subject the Company to substantial damages and/or require alterations to the Company’s business. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the outcome of the Massachusetts Securities Division matter.

Shareholder Derivative Litigation Related to Marketplace
On May 31, 2023, the first of three substantially similar, putative shareholder derivative actions was filed in Nevada state court by an alleged shareholder of the Company. On October 29, 2024, the court entered a stipulated order consolidating the three actions under the caption In re DraftKings Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation and appointed lead counsel. On December 23, 2024, the plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The complaint purports to assert claims on behalf of the Company against certain senior officers and members of the Board of Directors of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty, aiding-and-abetting breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, and corporate waste based primarily on allegations that the defendants caused or allowed the Company to sell NFTs in violation of applicable law and/or operate the Company as an unregistered broker-dealer or securities exchange in violation of applicable law. The complaint also alleges that certain individuals are liable for trading in Company stock at artificially inflated prices. The actions seek unspecified compensatory damages, changes to corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution, disgorgement, costs and attorney’s fees, and other unspecified relief. On February 21, 2025, the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint, which motions remain pending.
The Company cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of this matter or determine the extent of any potential liabilities. The Company also cannot provide an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. Because this action alleges claims on behalf of the Company and purports to seek a judgment in favor of the Company, the Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcome of the proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, although the outcome could be material to the Company’s operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.

Code § 16-1702), a statute which purportedly allows an individual to recover their betting losses greater than twenty-five dollars from each sportsbook, and should such party fail to sue within three months, the statute purportedly authorizes any person to file suit against the sportsbook to recover the losses (including treble damages). Plaintiff also alleges that the Supreme Court’s 2018 decision striking down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (“PAPSA”) does not apply to the District of Columbia and, therefore, the Sports Wagering Lottery Amendment Act (“SWLAA”), a 2019 law that legalized sports betting in the District of Columbia, is without any legal force or effect. Plaintiff also alleges that the Statute of Anne permits recovery of betting losses greater than twenty-five dollars even if the SWLAA has legal force or effect. Plaintiff seeks to recover on behalf of all individuals within the District of Columbia that (i) have lost more than $25 at any single time or sitting by sports betting with DraftKings and (ii) not sued to recover those losses within three months of payment to DraftKings.
On May 5, 2025, DraftKings filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, which motion remains pending. On May 14, 2025, the court granted the District of Columbia’s motion to intervene. On June 16, 2025, Plaintiff filed its opposition to Defendants’ motions to dismiss; on June 23, 2025, the District of Columbia filed a brief in support of Defendants motion to dismiss; on July 7, 2025, DraftKings filed its reply in support of its motion to dismiss and Plaintiff filed its response to the District of Columbia’s brief; and on July 14, 2025, the District of Columbia filed its reply.
The Company intends to vigorously defend this case. Any adverse outcome in this matter could subject the Company to substantial damages and/or require alterations to the Company’s business. The Company cannot provide any assurance as to the outcome of this matter.
The Company cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. The Company also cannot provide an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. Any adverse outcome in this matter could expose the Company to substantial damages or penalties that may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows.
City of Baltimore
On April 3, 2025, the City of Baltimore filed a lawsuit against DraftKings and FanDuel seeking civil penalties and injunctive relief under Baltimore City Code Art. 2, Section 4. The City alleges that DraftKings violated Baltimore City Code Art. 2, section 4 by committing unfair, abusive and deceptive trade practices by allegedly (i) using data to allegedly target vulnerable Baltimore users; (ii) using misleading promotions such as “bonus bets” or “no-sweat bets;” (iii) concealing or misrepresenting the terms and conditions of those promotions; (iv) using data to identify Baltimore users with an alleged gaming disorder and then directing promotions at them; (v) directing messages with misleading urgency to those who allegedly may have gaming disorders; (vi) using the VIP program to allegedly exploit people with alleged gaming disorders; (vii) offering escalating rewards through its VIP program to target alleged users with gaming disorders; and (viii) failing to implement responsible gaming measures. The City of Baltimore seeks injunctive relief and statutory penalties for each violation of Baltimore City Code Art. 2, section 4.
On May 7, 2025, the defendants removed the lawsuit from state court to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (Northern Division). On June 6, 2025, the City filed a motion to remand the case to state court. On July 7, 2025, Defendants filed their opposition to the motion to remand, and Plaintiffs’ filed their reply on July 28, 2025.

Macek I
On April 18, 2025, plaintiffs Kenneth Macek, Matthew Harner, Avi Setton, Lionel Alicea, and Robert Walker, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action complaint against DraftKings Inc., Crown PA Gaming Inc. dba DraftKings, and Golden Nugget Online Gaming LLC in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Among other things, plaintiffs allege that the Company’s “risk-free” and “no sweat” promotions, and the promotion that offered new customers an opportunity to earn up to 1,000 site credits as a sportsbook deposit match, as well as promotions that offered site credits in connection with a casino deposit match, were unfair, unconscionable, and misleading (collectively, the “Promotions Claims”). Plaintiffs also allege that DraftKings targets players with gaming addiction issues, including by assigning certain players with VIP hosts. Plaintiffs assert causes of action for violation of the Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, negligence, intentional misrepresentation, failure to warn, fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment, intentional infliction of emotional distress and conversion. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees and costs. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide class relating to the Promotions Claims, of: of (i) anyone who participated in the casino deposit match promotion and lost part or all of their initial deposit (with a Pennsylvania subclass); (ii) anyone who allegedly opted into the “risk free” or “no sweat” promotion (with a Pennsylvania subclass); and (iii) anyone who allegedly deposited money in response to the 1,000 new customer sportsbook deposit match promotion (with a Pennsylvania subclass). Plaintiffs also seek to certify a class relating to alleged addiction claims, of (i) anyone who developed or displayed problem gaming behavior and was allegedly targeted by DraftKings’ VIP hosts or promotions or otherwise induced to game or continue to game (with a Pennsylvania subclass); and (ii) anyone who was allegedly permitted to continue gaming after self-excluding or who asked DraftKings to suspend or close their account (with a Pennsylvania subclass).
On June 24, 2025, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In response, on July 15, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint (the “First Amended Complaint”), removing Plaintiff Walker and adding new Plaintiffs Shane Spencer and Rangaraj Sadagopan. The First Amended Complaint removed all of the allegations, purported classes, and causes of actions relating to the Promotions Claims.
The First Amended Complaint only alleges claims and causes of action relating to alleged addiction matters, as follows: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and strict and negligent products liability. The First Amended Complaint also contains individual claims for breach of contract and conversion based on the closure of Plaintiff Setton’s account. In the First Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorney fees and costs. Plaintiffs seek to certify a nationwide class of (i) anyone who developed or displayed problem gaming behavior and was allegedly targeted by DraftKings’ VIP hosts or otherwise induced to game or continue to game (with a Pennsylvania subclass); (ii) anyone who was allegedly permitted to continue gaming after asking DraftKings to suspend or close their account (with a Pennsylvania subclass); and (iii) anyone who was exposed to the allegedly dangerous design of features of DraftKings’ app and could not control their compulsive gaming (with a Pennsylvania subclass).
On July 29, 2025, DraftKings filed a motion to dismiss.

Moore
On June 1, 2025, Plaintiffs Brandon Moore, Zhicheng Zhen, and Jonathan Smith, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a purported class action complaint against DraftKings Inc. and Doe defendants in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. Among other things, Plaintiffs allege that DraftKings has been operating illegal online gambling platforms in California through its “Daily Fantasy Sports” and “Pick6” contests in violation of California law. Plaintiffs claim that these contests amount to unlawful lotteries, games of chance, or sports betting and that DraftKings falsely represents these services as lawful in California, including through misleading public statements and platform disclosures.
Plaintiffs bring claims under California’s Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act, and seek, among other things, injunctive relief, restitution, disgorgement, and attorneys’ fees and costs. Plaintiffs seek to represent a purported class of all California residents who allegedly placed a bet or wager on DraftKings’ alleged Daily Fantasy Sports and Pick6 gambling websites while physically located in California. On July 11, 2025, Plaintiffs filed a Notice Regarding Legal Opinion Issued By The California Attorney General enclosing an opinion from the California Attorney General (Opinion No. 23-1001) in which the California Attorney General opined that “California law prohibits the operation of daily fantasy sports games with players physically located within California.” On July 14, 2025, two other actions pending in the Northern District of California were referred sua sponte by the Court to the Judge assigned to Moore for determination on whether such actions should be related under Civil Local Rule 3-12(e) (Beltran v. FanDuel, Inc., Case No. 25-cv-5586-JSC; Head v. Underdog Sports, LLC, Case No. 25-cv-5542-JST). On July 16, the Court referred sua sponte a third pending action for the same determination (Franks v. Prize Picks, Case No. 25-cv-4916-JD). On July 24, 2025, the Court assigned to Moore held that those three actions were related to Moore and assigned all three cases to that Court.

Micro-Gaming
On May 9, 2025, Micro-Gaming Ventures, LLC (“Micro-Gaming”) filed suit against DraftKings Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. In the complaint, Micro-Gaming alleges that the Company infringes five patents: (1) U.S.
34
Patent No. 8,545,311 (“the ’311 patent”), entitled “Systems and methods for enabling remote device users to wager on micro events of games in a data network accessible gaming environment”; (2) U.S. Patent No. 8,632,392 (“the ’392 patent”), entitled “Systems and methods for enabling remote device users to wager on micro events of games in a data network accessible gaming environment”; (3) U.S. Patent No. 8,734,231 (“the ’231 patent”), entitled “Systems and methods for enabling remote device users to wager on micro events of games in a data network accessible gaming environment”; (4) U.S. Patent No. 11,783,679 (“the ’679 patent”), entitled “Location-based wagering via remote devices”; and (5) U.S. Patent No. 12,266,244 (“the ’244 patent”), entitled “Location-based wagering via remote devices” (collectively, the “Micro-Gaming Patents”). The allegations for all of the Micro-Gaming Patents are directed to the “DraftKings Sportsbook.”
We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we are infringing the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages and/or an injunction that could require us to modify certain features that we currently offer.
We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of this matter or determine the extent of any potential liabilities. We also cannot provide an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss. Any adverse outcome in this matter could expose the Company to substantial damages or penalties that may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s operations and cash flows.
Other Litigation
In addition to the above actions, we are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to any of these actions is unlikely to materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, though the outcomes could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period.
Internal Revenue Service
The Company is currently under Internal Revenue Service audit for prior tax years, with the primary unresolved issues relating to excise taxation of fantasy sports contests and informational reporting and withholding. Certain examinations are progressing in the administrative process. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings at this time and cannot reasonably estimate the potential loss or range of loss, if any. The final resolution of these audits, and any related proceedings, may differ from the amounts recorded in these consolidated financial statements and may materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the period or periods in which that determination is made.

In addition to these risks, other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Annual Report. Due to the uncertain nature of these factors, management cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Our Business
We are a digital sports entertainment and gaming company. We provide users with online and retail sports betting (together, “Sportsbook”), online casino (“iGaming”) and daily fantasy sports (“DFS”) product offerings, as well as digital lottery courier, media, and other product offerings.
Our mission is to make life more exciting by responsibly creating the world’s favorite real-money games and betting experiences. We accomplish this by creating an environment where our users can find enjoyment and fulfillment through Sportsbook, iGaming and DFS, as well as digital lottery courier, media, and other product offerings. We are also highly focused on our responsibility as a steward of this new era in real-money gaming. Our ethics guide our decision making, with respect to both the tradition and integrity of sports and our investments in regulatory compliance and consumer protection.
We continue to make deliberate and substantial investments in support of our mission and long-term growth. For example, we have invested in our product offerings and technology in order to continuously launch new product innovations; improve marketing, merchandising, and operational efficiency through data science; and deliver a great user experience. We also make significant investments in sales and marketing and incentives to grow and retain our paid user base, including personalized cross-product offers and promotions, and promote brand awareness to attract the “skin-in-the-game” sports fan. Together, these investments have enabled us to create a leading product built on scalable technology, while attracting a user base that has resulted in the rapid growth of our business.
Our priorities are to (a) continue to invest in our product offerings, (b) launch our product offerings in new jurisdictions, (c) create replicable and predictable jurisdiction-level unit economics in sports betting and iGaming and (d) expand our product offerings. When we launch our Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings in a new jurisdiction, we invest heavily in user acquisition, retention and cross-selling until the new jurisdiction provides a critical mass of users engaged across our product offerings.
Our current technology is highly scalable with relatively minimal incremental spend required to launch our product offerings in new jurisdictions. We will continue to manage our fixed-cost base in conjunction with our market entry plans and focus our variable spend on marketing, user experience and support and regulatory compliance to become the product of choice for users and to maintain favorable relationships with regulators. We also expect to improve our profitability over time as our revenue and gross profit expand as jurisdictions mature, and our variable marketing expenses and fixed costs stabilize or grow at a slower rate.
Our path to profitability is based on the acceleration of positive contribution profit growth driven by increased revenue and gross profit generation from ongoing efficient customer acquisition enabled by the transition from local to regional to national advertising, strong customer retention, improved monetization from frequency and higher hold percentage, as well as scale benefits from investments in our product offerings and technology and general and administrative functions. In any given period, we expect to achieve profitability on a consolidated Adjusted EBITDA basis when total contribution profit exceeds the fixed costs of our business, which depends, in part, on the percentage of the U.S. adult population that has access to our product offerings and the other factors summarized in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

(2) Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share is a non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Information” below for additional information about this measure and a reconciliation of this measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Revenue increased by $408.1 million and $641.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 as a result of continued healthy customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, the expansion of the Company’s Sportsbook product offering into new jurisdictions, higher structural Sportsbook hold percentage, improved promotional reinvestment for Sportsbook, and the impact of our acquisition of Jackpocket Inc. (“Jackpocket”), which was completed on May 22, 2024 (the “Jackpocket Transaction”).
Key Performance Indicators
Monthly Unique Payers (“MUPs”). We define MUPs as the number of unique paid users per month who had one or more real-money, paid engagements across one or more of our Sportsbook, iGaming, DFS, digital lottery courier or other offerings via our technology. For reported periods longer than one month, we average the MUPs for the months in the reported period. Although the number of unique paid users includes those users that have participated in a real-money, paid engagement using only promotional incentives (which has not been a material number of users to date), which are fungible with other funds deposited into their wallets on our technology, it does not include users who have made a deposit but have not yet had a real-money, paid engagement.
MUPs is a key indicator of the scale of our online gaming user base and awareness of our brand. We believe that year-over-year growth in MUPs is also generally indicative of the long-term revenue growth potential of our online gaming product offerings, although MUPs in individual periods may be less indicative of our longer-term expectations. We expect the number of MUPs to grow as we attract, retain and re-engage users in new and existing jurisdictions and expand our product offerings to appeal to a wider audience.
The charts below present our average MUPs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025:
38
Average Revenue per MUP (“ARPMUP”). We define and calculate ARPMUP as the average monthly revenue, excluding revenue from gaming software services, for a reporting period, divided by the average number of MUPs for the same period. ARPMUP is a key indicator of our ability to drive usage and monetization of our product offerings. The charts below present our ARPMUP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2025:
39
MUPs increased by 0.2 million or 6.5% and 0.5 million or 15.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily reflecting strong unique payer retention and acquisition across our Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings and the impact of the Jackpocket Transaction. Excluding the impact of the Jackpocket Transaction, MUPs increased by 0.1 million or 4.7% and 0.3 million or 8.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
ARPMUP increased by $34 or 29.1% and $12 or 10.4% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to structural improvement in our Sportsbook hold percentage and improved promotional reinvestment for Sportsbook. Excluding the impact of the Jackpocket Transaction, ARPMUP in creased by $39 or 30.4% and $21 or 17.7% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
Sportsbook Handle. We define Sportsbook Handle as the total amount of settled customer wagers on our Sportsbook product offering. Sportsbook Handle provides useful information to investors and management as it is a key indicator of volume and customer engagement on our Sportsbook product offering that is not impacted by variability of sport outcomes and provides important insight into underlying growth trends. We do not utilize handle information to track performance of our iGaming products because iGaming is generally not subject to the same variability in outcomes.
Sportsbook Net Revenue Margin. We define Sportsbook Net Revenue Margin as Sportsbook revenue as a percentage of Sportsbook Handle. This provides useful information to investors and management as it is a key indicator in measuring the combined impact of our overall margin on our Sportsbook product offering and promotional reinvestment.

Total Revenue $ 2,921,313 $ 2,279,437 $ 641,876 28.2 %
Sportsbook Handle increased by $681.8 million, or 6.3%, to $11.5 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $10.8 billion in the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased by $2.6 billion, or 11.2% to $25.4 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $22.8 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to MUPs increasing in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase in MUPs was due to strong player retention and acquisition across our Sportsbook product offering.
Sportsbook Net Revenue Margin increased by 2.3 percentage points, to 8.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from 6.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by higher structural Sportsbook hold percentage, sportsbook-friendly outcomes, and improved promotional reinvestment. Sportsbook Net Revenue Margin increased by 1.2 percentage points, to 7.4% in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from 6.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily driven by higher structural hold percentage and improved promotional reinvestment, partially offset by customer-friendly sports outcomes.
iGaming revenue increased $79.1 million , or 22.6% , to $429.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $350.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased by $132.6 million, or 18.4%, to $853.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $720.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to an increase in MUPs for the product offering.
Other revenue increased $18.0 million, or 26.8% , to $85.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025, from $67.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2024, and increased $50.4 million, or 36.5%, to $188.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025, from $137.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of revenue from Jackpocket. We consummated the Jackpocket Transaction on May 22, 2024.
Non-GAAP Information
This Report includes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures that we use to supplement our results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted

Earnings (Loss) Per Share are useful in evaluating our operating performance, similar to measures reported by our publicly-listed U.S. competitors, and regularly used by security analysts, institutional investors and other interested parties in analyzing operating performance and prospects. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share are not intended to be substitutes for any U.S. GAAP financial measure. As calculated, they may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies in other industries or within the same industry.
We define and calculate Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the impact of interest income or expense (net), income tax provision or benefit, and depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted for the following items: stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; and other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income, as described in the reconciliation below.
We define and calculate Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share as diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders before the impact of amortization of acquired intangible assets; stock-based compensation; transaction-related costs; litigation, settlement and related costs; advocacy and other related legal expenses; gain or loss on remeasurement of warrant liabilities; other non-recurring and non-operating costs or income; and the tax impact of adjusting items, as described in the reconciliation below.
We include non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate our core operating performance and trends and to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and new investments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) Per Share exclude certain expenses that are required in accordance with U.S. GAAP because they are non-recurring items (for example, in the case of transaction-related costs and advocacy and other related legal expenses), non-cash expenditures (for example, in the case of amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation and amortization, remeasurement of warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation), or non-operating items which are not related to our underlying business performance (for example, in the case of interest income and expense and litigation, settlement and related costs).
