DraftKings Goes Public – PA Online Casino Launching Soon?

Late April has proven to be a massive time for DraftKings, as they have found themselves in the news. DraftKings has officially gone public as of April 24th, launching on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol DKNG. But that is not the only DraftKings news for late April, as the DraftKings online Casino could be launching very soon in Pennsylvania. Given the current state of the gaming industry without sports, it is quite refreshing to see good news from one of the top operators. Let’s take a look at DraftKings going public along with the possibility of the DraftKings Casino launching soon in PA.

DraftKings Goes Public Under DKNG Symbol

April 24th, 2020. This is the date that DraftKings finally went public as a company. It trades under the ticker symbol “DKNG” in the NASDAQ, and opened at $20.49 per share. Just before noon on launch day, the share price dropped to $18.50, but was still up over 5% on the day given the high open. The news of DraftKings going public was fully expected, as a deal was reached in December 2019, but was not expected to go through for a few months given the steps needed with the SEC approvals and more.

This merger was between three companies, as DraftKings combined with technology company SBTech and DEAC (which DKNG previously traded under) to form a larger, public company. This is the second online sportsbook operator that has made big news in the last few months, after Penn National Gaming and Barstool Sports struck a deal in early 2020.
