| By Zak Thomas-Akoo
DraftKings has raised its 2023 revenue guidance to $2.95bn (£2.47bn/€2.77bn), up from $2.90bn, after experiencing “better than expected” sportsbook results – among other successes – in the fourth quarter of 2022.

DraftKings CEO and co-founder Jason Robins pointed to a double effort of increased revenue and reduced costs as reasons for the Q4 growth, along with the sportsbook results.
Revenue for the quarter was $855m in total, a rise of 81% year-on-year.
