“As a Boston-based company, we are thrilled for the opportunity to further expand in the New England region and provide Vermont with access to safe and legal sports betting,” said Matt Kalish, President, DraftKings North America.

“This is an exciting time of year with the NFL Playoffs about to kick off, and Vermonters will now have the opportunity to engage with their favorite sports on our industry-leading DraftKings Sportsbook app.”

The company stated that with a customer-friendly interface and award-winning customer experience, beginning January 11, 2024, the DraftKings Sportsbook app will provide eligible sports fans in Vermont access to bet on professional sports and sporting events including the Super Bowl, as well as can’t-miss promotions and offerings, like same-game and cross-sport parlays, in-game betting, special odds boosts and more. 

Additionally, DraftKings stated that it has a "firm commitment" to serving the communities in which it operates, recently committing $25,000 to the Arbor Day Foundation to support a large-scale reforestation planting project throughout Vermont.

The initiative will take place this upcoming spring, assisting the Vermont Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program in planting 3,500 trees to help form “riparian buffers” along streams and rivers to improve water quality flowing to Lake Champlain.

An active member of the American Gaming Association, DraftKings added that it is committed to promoting the AGA’s Have A Game Plan. Bet Responsibly public service campaign, which educates customers on responsible gaming best practices, such as establishing and adhering to a budget and only engaging with legal, regulated operators. DraftKings also stated that it is committed to creating inclusive and responsible pathways for people to build, create, imagine and innovate through the DraftKings S.E.R.V.E.S. program.

Eligible customers in Vermont can access the latest betting markets and more by downloading the DraftKings Sportsbook app available via iOS and Android.
