DraftKings Inc. DKNG Number of lawsuits

Beginning on March 24, 2026, the first of fourteen lawsuits focused primarily on product liability claims was filed by individual plaintiffs in state courts in Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey and Pennsylvania against DraftKings Inc., and its related individuals and entities, and in certain instances, FanDuel, Inc., and other third parties. The complaints allege, among other things, that DraftKings’ online betting platforms are defectively designed and unreasonably dangerous because they allegedly incorporate features intended to encourage continuous betting and compulsive gaming. Plaintiffs also allege that the DraftKings defendants failed to adequately warn users about the risks associated with the use of the platforms and engaged in deceptive and unfair conduct through the use of, among other things, targeted promotions and wagering opportunities, notifications, data-driven personalization, and “VIP” programs. The complaints assert various claims under state tort and statutory laws and assert claims for personal monetary losses and actual, compensatory, statutory and/or punitive damages for alleged emotional, financial and physical harms. DraftKings has filed preliminary objections in four of the Pennsylvania cases.
