DraftKings launches first retail sportsbook in New Hampshire

DraftKings has launched New Hampshire’s first retail sportsbook, in partnership with the state lottery and Eureka Casino-owned venue The Brook.

The DraftKings Sportsbook at The Brook is being launched with enhanced safety and sanitisation protocols in place as a result of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, offering betting on all major professional and collegiate US sports.

Patrons will be required to wear masks at all times in the venue, with physical distancing to be enforced and hand sanitiser stations installed in seating areas and on the gaming floor. These measures may be updated or amended as required, in consultation with regulators and public health officials.

“With major sports resuming in recent weeks, I am extremely pleased The Brook is opening its new retail sportsbook,” New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said. “This retail sportsbook represents the next evolution for the New Hampshire Lottery and DraftKings, which have already established New Hampshire as the go-to destination for sports betting in the Northeast.

“Along with placing bets online and with their mobile devices, sports fans now have an exciting new retail location where they can place bets on their favorite teams and experience this new way to win.”
