DraftKings has officially applied for a state licence to offer sports betting in New Jersey.
The company stated its application for a Casino Service Industry Enterprise License has been "accepted for filing" by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
"The New Jersey DGE has been on the leading edge of creating a smart, consumer-focused sports betting framework in the Garden State," said Tim Dent, chief compliance officer and chief financial officer at DraftKings.
"We are working with New Jersey officials toward a public rollout of a DraftKings sports betting product."
DraftKings recently announced it has selected Resorts Casino Hotel as its New Jersey casino licensing partner, satisfying an expected regulatory requirement for the company to offer an online sports betting product in the state.
DraftKings had been working towards building an internal sportsbook team before May’s Supreme Court decision and has now announced that Karl Gambin has joined the company as director of New Jersey gaming operations based out of its new office in Hoboken. Gambin will lead DraftKings' compliance, customer and regulatory activities in the state.
