DraftKings Introduces Brackets For March Madness

"As American sports fans during March Madness, we are all playing bracket contests with our friends, family and co-workers," said Matt Kalish, DraftKings Chief Revenue Officer and Co-Founder. "By launching Brackets on DraftKings Sportsbook, we are bringing the number one way fans engage with March Madness to the biggest stage—DraftKings' industry-leading fantasy sports and sportsbook apps."

DraftKings players will see two headline contests in the Sportsbook App today for entry—a free-to-play bracket with $64,000 in prizes available nationally and a $100,000 bracket only for customers in New Jersey that costs $20 to enter. College basketball and sports betting fans alike can expect more contests to open prior to the beginning of the tournament, too. Using the app's "Reserve A Seat" function, players can hold a spot in various contests until the teams are selected on March 17.

To provide customers with the most complete tournament experience available, Brackets on DraftKings will be joined by both traditional sports betting as well as daily fantasy offerings. DraftKings customers can also use the Sportsbook app to set up private pools for their free brackets to play with friends across the country.
