DraftKings

This page is a reading of DraftKings' own pages on 27 Oct 2026. Watchdog did not open a DraftKings account, did not place a bet, and did not test the app. The assessment is documented research.

DraftKings is still offering an online sportsbook. Its availability page tells readers that online sports betting is offered in the states listed on that page, that residency is not required, and that the person has to be located in the state when the bet is placed. State landing pages for Arizona, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Ohio, and New Hampshire also returned a live sportsbook surface the same day. A landing page is evidence that the brand is selling bets in that market. It is not a substitute for the full list.

The state landing pages that opened were selling the usual American menu in the form of spreads, totals, moneylines, and same game parlays, including NFL and college football examples. That shows those market types exist on the product. It does not count how many leagues, player props, or alternate lines DraftKings posts. Market selection stays Not scored until someone counts the menu.

Several of those same landing pages labeled bets as live, including live same game parlays. Live betting is therefore something DraftKings was presenting on 27 Oct 2026. How fast the board updates, and whether a live bet can be cashed out, was not tested.

No line was saved against another book. A single posted price on a landing page is not a hold, and it is not a comparison. Odds and pricing stay Not scored. That category is a quarter of the proposed weight, which is one reason this page has no overall number.

DraftKings tells readers to download the sportsbook app, and the help center gives separate steps for the app and for desktop. The promo pages that were opened also pointed at the app. None of that is a usability test. Screen size, bet slip errors, and location failures were not checked. Mobile experience stays Not scored. The documented fact is that an app is part of the published product.

A payment-method guide exists in the DraftKings help center, but the method list and the posted timing were not opened on this check. Deposit and withdrawal categories stay Not scored. What was opened, and what belongs under responsible gambling rather than cashier speed, is the limit tool: daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits apply at the account level across daily fantasy, sportsbook, and casino, and a limit cannot be raised until the jurisdiction's waiting period has run.

DraftKings publishes a help center at help.draftkings.com with sportsbook articles. That is a real support surface. Watchdog did not open a chat, send a ticket, or record a wait. Customer service stays Not scored.

The availability page presents the product as legal online sports betting in the jurisdictions it lists. Illinois is described there as DraftKings at Casino Queen Sportsbook. Oregon is described as DraftKings Sportsbook, official provider of the Oregon Lottery. Those are operator statements, not license certificates read from the state. No license number was copied. Security and consumer protections stay Not scored. Readers who need the license should use the state regulator's licensee list, not this summary.

Headings captured from the DraftKings availability page on 27 Oct 2026 named Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Vermont's line said mobile sports betting is live. A block above the Maine heading said availability varies by parish, and the heading for that block was not in the captured text, so the state is not named here.

The page is longer than the text this check captured. States that are missing from the list above are not a finding that DraftKings is absent. Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and Puerto Rico are examples of names this check did not lock to a heading, even where a state landing page or a third-party roundup may mention them. Until the full page is read in one pass, Watchdog will not publish a complete DraftKings map.

The sportsbook responsible gaming page says players can set deposit limits, wagering limits, and time limits, that a decrease takes effect immediately, and that an increase waits until the prior limit expires. It also says self exclusion is offered on all DraftKings products. Help articles match the deposit and time tools and say the deposit cap is shared with daily fantasy and casino.

A DraftKings casino page describes a cool off from three days to four weeks, and self exclusion for one year or five years, with a note that Pennsylvania players request self exclusion through the state gaming board rather than the website. That page is the casino site. It is cited as the operator's description of those windows, not as a sportsbook screenshot.

The public line on the sportsbook help page points readers who want help to 1-800-GAMBLER. Limits vary by jurisdiction. The help articles say not every option is offered everywhere.

No DraftKings promotion is quoted. On 27 Oct 2026 the Arizona and Ohio landing pages carried a new-customer headline with one figure, and the Massachusetts and Connecticut pages carried a different figure. A bonus that changes by state, and that was not read as a full terms page, is not safe to reprint. Watchdog is not offering a bonus and does not have a DraftKings referral link.

A reader who is physically in a state DraftKings has actually named, and who wants a book that publishes shared deposit limits across its products, can use this file as a starting map. A reader who needs a complete state list, a measured price comparison, or a tested payout time cannot. This is not a suggestion that betting at DraftKings will win money.

DraftKings is a live U.S. sportsbook with a public availability page, public limit tools, and a help center. The availability reading is incomplete, the cashier was not opened, and the three categories that need measurement were not measured. The editorial score is Not scored. A commercial deal would not change that.
