To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our Help Center at support.draftkings.com or via in-app ticketing.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. Our DraftKings platform uses encryption, two-factor authentication (required for first-time withdrawals and new withdrawal methods), and regular security audits. While we take every reasonable precaution, no system is completely immune to risk, and we encourage you to protect your DraftKings login credentials at all times.

Responsible Gaming and Data

We use your account and gameplay data to support responsible gaming programs. This includes monitoring betting behavior for signs of problem gambling and providing access to self-exclusion tools. If you need support, you can reach responsible gaming resources at 1-800-GAMBLER. Our data practices in this area are non-negotiable and required by our licensing in each jurisdiction where we operate.

International Users and Jurisdiction

Our DraftKings casino and sportsbook services are available only in states where we are licensed — Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia — and in Ontario, Canada. Players must be physically present in a licensed jurisdiction at the time of play. Our services are not available in restricted locations including Hawaii, Idaho, certain Louisiana parishes, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington for paid contests. If you are accessing our platform from outside these areas, we may not be able to process your data in accordance with local requirements, and access may be denied.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you via email or through a prominent notice in the DraftKings app. Your continued use of our services following notification constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
