As of my last update in early 2023, DraftKings operates in Nevada, but the state has specific regulations regarding sports betting. In Nevada, sports betting is legal and has been since 1949, making it the first state to allow legal sports betting in the United States.
However, DraftKings initially offered daily fantasy sports (DFS) in Nevada but did not offer traditional sports betting when it first launched. This was due to the complex regulatory environment in the state, which has its own established sportsbooks.
In June 2018, the United States Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which effectively allowed states to decide whether to permit sports betting. Following this decision, Nevada began to allow more companies to offer sports betting, including DFS operators like DraftKings.
To bet on sports with DraftKings in Nevada, you would need to ensure that DraftKings is offering sports betting services in the state at that time, as regulations and services can change. Users would typically need to be physically located within the state borders to place bets due to geolocation requirements, and they would need to be of legal gambling age, which is 21 in Nevada.
For the most current information, you should check the latest updates from DraftKings or consult Nevada’s gaming regulations, as the availability of betting options can change.
