DraftKings finding ways to offer election betting
Presidential election betting is illegal in the US. FanDuel Sportsbook briefly (as in for only minutes) posted election odds available to West Virginia customers back in the spring.
However, the page was quickly taken down.
This is the closest any operator has come to offering odds on the current presidential race. Legal wagers are permitted in European markets.
With DraftKings, customers are not putting up any money, so the laws do not apply.
The presidential debate pool is the latest politically centric contest users have the option of entering at DraftKings.
Another centered around November’s presidential election is available as well. As of noon today, there are 222,505 entries for that free contest. It comes with a $100,000 prize pool.
DraftKings’ free-to-play pools are a hit
DraftKings Sportsbook’s free-to-play pools continue to be extremely popular. The Boston-based operator started rolling out more of them back in March after the coronavirus pandemic shut down the pro sports world. Not only are some offered by DraftKings, but also, users can set up their own pools.
According to DraftKings, since launching the FTP pools on its platforms, there has been more than $2 million paid out across some 260-plus contests.
Customer engagement continues to be extremely strong, too, with more than 3.7 million entries.

- College football pick’em

Politics, however, is a topic that expands beyond diehard and casual sports fans. Come Election Day, people will decide whether Trump or Biden will be the next president of the United States.
