DraftKings tops inaugural EGR US Power Rankings

DraftKings has topped EGR’s inaugural US Power Rankings, seeing off stiff competition from industry heavyweights FanDuel Group and Golden Nugget in EGR’s rundown of America’s most powerful online operators.

Kambi-powered DraftKings scored highly across almost every judging category – revenues, influence, product and innovation, and potential – and has been a market leader in New Jersey’s sports betting market in nearly every month since going live.

The company was followed in second place by Paddy Power Betfair’s FanDuel Group, while Golden Nugget, Caesars Interactive and MGM Resorts made up the rest of the top five.

This is the first time EGR has brought its popular Power Rankings concept to the US market following the success of the EGR Power 50 and EGR Power Affiliates, and will be followed by the EGR US Power Summit in September.

The invitation-only Summit will bring together C-level executives from each of the 20 EGR US Power companies, as well as other industry execs from across the sector, and will be held at the luxurious five-star The Resort at Pelican Hill in California.

The EGR US Power Rankings 2019 were compiled using market data and estimates from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, a boutique research and advisory firm focused on servicing the gaming equipment, technology, and interactive gaming sectors within the global gaming industry.
