O, Canada, we’ve got big news — DraftKings has launched its top-rated online sportsbook and casino, as well as the Golden Nugget Online Gaming brand, as of July 13!
Alberta is the second Canadian province (after Ontario) where DraftKings Sportsbook is available. Eligible customers in Alberta will have access to DraftKings’ comprehensive suite of sports betting and online casino offerings beginning today on iOS and Android platforms.
“Alberta is home to a passionate sports fan base, and we’re excited to bring customers across the province our industry-leading sports betting and online casino experiences,” said Greg Karamitis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Sports at DraftKings. “Launching during one of the biggest moments in global sports, with the World Cup taking place across North America, makes this an especially exciting time to welcome Albertans to DraftKings.”
To celebrate its launch in Alberta, DraftKings will present Food Banks Alberta with a $150,000 donation, which will purchase over 40,000 pounds of essential food items to be distributed through Food Banks Alberta’s network of member food banks. This donation will help provide essential food support, including high demand items like fruits and vegetables and baby formula to individuals and families facing hunger, while strengthening local food banks’ ability to meet growing demand. DraftKings also hosted a World Cup Watch Party on July 11 at Wildhorse Saloon in Calgary, which was part of a broader initiative that included watch parties across North America.
DraftKings not only delivers one of the industry’s most robust and engaging entertainment experiences — from same-game parlays, live in-game wagering, and special odds boosts on DraftKings Sportsbook to thousands of casino games — but leads the industry in responsible engagement. DraftKings supports responsible gaming by promoting customer awareness and use of budget and control tools and resources like deposit limits, cool off periods, and self-exclusion to help customers have a fun source of entertainment with a brand they can trust.
So, Canada, DraftKings is ready to be your ultimate host. And remember — the crown is yours!
