Factors to Consider
DraftKings is expected to have continued benefiting from the growing demand for mobile sports betting in the to-be-reported quarter.
Solid demand for online gambling on platforms such as online poker, casino games and lottery is likely to have aided the company’s third-quarter performance.
The growing momentum across iGaming is likely to have been another major positive. Expanding iGaming product offerings across the states are expected to have contributed well.

DraftKings unveiled its online Sportsbook in Arizona in the third quarter. This is expected to have driven its momentum among Arizona’s sports fans.
The company rolled out online Sportsbook in Wyoming, which is anticipated to have aided the adoption rate of Sportsbooks.
