In a room full of legislators, DraftKings CEO Jason Robins asked for continued legalization of online sports betting and iGaming.
Robins gave the keynote address Friday at the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) summer meeting. During the roughly 10-minute speech, the DraftKings co-founder talked about the early days of the daily fantasy sports operator headquartered in the city and how legislators were crucial to its growth.
While he did not specifically address the future of Massachusetts sports betting, he talked about the California sports betting ballot initiative. Robins also asked legislators to consider iGaming expansion.
Robins used the multi-operator mobile sports betting ballot initiative in California as an example of innovative solutions needed in some markets.
