DraftKings is set to expand its footprint in Ohio by opening a new sports betting venue in Columbus, slated for May 9, 2024.

This addition located in the vibrant Short North Arts District, marks the fourth DraftKings facility in the city, continuing its expansion across key urban centers.

A Modern Sports Betting Experience

The new venue will occupy 5,500 square feet in a prime area known for its cultural flair, promising to offer a holistic sports entertainment experience.

It features a 37-foot LED media wall and multiple high-definition TVs, providing an immersive environment for sports fans.

The site integrates technology seamlessly, allowing patrons 21 and older to place bets directly from their smartphones using the DraftKings Sportsbook app.

Engaging Sports and Social Setting

DraftKings Sports & Social aims to be more than just a betting parlor; it’s designed as a communal hub for sports fans. The venue will host viewings of local professional teams’ games, including Ohio State, the Columbus Crew, and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The setting is further enhanced with in-game entertainment, fan cams, and high-energy audio-visual effects, making each game a memorable event.

Reflecting Columbus’s dynamic culinary scene, the venue will offer an extensive menu featuring fan favorites such as burgers, wings, tacos, and more.

Michael Kibort, Vice President of Product Operations at DraftKings, expressed enthusiasm about the new location, noting, “Columbus is a really special city, and we’re looking forward to being able to offer our customers in Ohio an exciting in-person experience with our innovative mobile sportsbook app.”
