The digital sports entertainment and gaming company DraftKings will have access to operate mobile sports betting in Kentucky–pending licensure and regulatory approvals–under an agreement with ECL Corbin, LLC announced Tuesday. In addition to offering mobile sports betting, DraftKings and Corbin will also open retail sportsbooks at Corbin properties.
ECL Corbin is a wholly owned subsidiary of ECL Entertainment, LLC, dba The Mint Gaming Hall at Cumberland and Cumberland Run (“Corbin”).
“Together with the Corbin properties, we're excited to bring our premier sports betting experience to yet another state and its sports fans,” said Matt Kalish, President, DraftKings North America. “We want to thank the Kentucky General Assembly for passing legislation and Governor Andy Beshear for his support of sports wagering as we look forward to launching our sportsbook product during a busy football season, pending licensure and regulatory approvals.”
Kentucky would be the 22nd state in which DraftKings is live with its mobile sportsbook and 24th overall with sports betting.
“The Corbin properties are truly excited to work with DraftKings, one of the country's leading sportsbook operators. This will be a great relationship for both companies,” said Marc Falcone, the co-managing partner, along with Ron Winchell, for ECL Corbin, LLC.
