DraftKings opens New Jersey office
Operator moves into Hoboken-based space which can accommodate over 50 employees, including sports betting operations for NJ
DraftKings has this week opened its latest office space in Hoboken New Jersey to accommodate over 50 employees.
DraftKings COO and co-founder Paul Liberman said the 7,500 square-foot space will enable the operator to grow its presence in the state.
“We’re looking forward to becoming a bigger part of the New Jersey tech scene as we grow our products, creating the best betting and daily fantasy experience in the market,” Liberman said.
The office will house part of DraftKings’ sports betting operation, and features dashboards and a television wall.
“As we look to build on the success of our sportsbook product even further, the new office will help us provide even better odds, content and rewards to the wonderful people of New Jersey and beyond,” head of digital sportsbook Jamie Shea said.
Since launching its offering in New Jersey last August, the firm has taken over 17 million bets.
The office is the latest sign of growth at DraftKings after it opened its new 105,000 square-foot Boston headquarters in March and has since had to lease office space in a separate Boston building to accommodate its growth.
