The operator has been expanding its brand and this can be confirmed in the numbers presented. The company had a 49% increase in the last year, compared to the previous year, reaching the millionaire mark of almost 644 million dollars. In view of the expectation of negotiating a partnership with the UFC, its shares also rose. This week the operator reported an increase of 4%, after confirmation of the contract signature.
 
DraftKings, in addition to betting operator, also develops a fantasy where the user competes daily competitions, through the players and teams that are assembled according to their preferences, winning cash prizes according to the athletes' performance during that period. The main American sports are part of the game.
