DraftKings offers sports betting in New Hampshire

DraftKings, The Brook and the New Hampshire Lottery have announced the opening of the new, state-of-the-art DraftKings Sportsbook at The Brook in the US state with enhanced safety and sanitisation protocols in place.

The sportsbook will serve as the first of its kind for the state, allowing sports fans to place legal bets on all major professional and collegiate US sports at a retail location.

“With major sports resuming in recent weeks, I am extremely pleased The Brook is opening its new retail sportsbook,” said Governor Chris Sununu.

“This retail sportsbook represents the next evolution for the New Hampshire Lottery and DraftKings, which have already established New Hampshire as the go-to destination for sports betting in the north-east.

“Along with placing bets online and with their mobile devices, sports fans now have an exciting new retail location where they can place bets on their favourite teams and experience this new way to win.”

Committed to providing a safe experience for guests as part of “the new normal,” Nevada-based Eureka Casino Resorts, which acquired and rebranded The Brook in 2019, spent months designing a new safety and sanitisation plan to guide staff and guests.

The plan includes physical distancing and hand sanitiser stations throughout the space, including in seating areas and on the gaming floor, in addition to requiring guests and employees to wear a mask. In consultation with regulators and public health officials, DraftKings Sportsbook at The Brook may add to or update its safety and sanitisation procedures.

Outfitted with betting kiosks and video walls, the sportsbook exists within The Brook’s “Stadium” sports entertainment space to deliver the ultimate gaming experience. The opening coincides with the return to action of many professional US sports leagues and marks DraftKings’ eighth retail location in the US.
