EveryMatrix live in Ontario with DraftKings
DraftKings, one of North America’s leading operators, has gone live with EveryMatrix casino content in Ontario, Canada – the tier-1 supplier’s latest entry into a large iGaming jurisdiction in North America.
EveryMatrix will provide DraftKings customers in Canada’s largest province with games from its in-house studios including Armadillo Studios via seamless integration with SlotMatrix, its proprietary B2B aggregation and content provision offering.
The Ontario launch is the second North American territory to see EveryMatrix content go live with DraftKings, following New Jersey in June last year.
The leading iGaming technology provider is the industry’s largest content aggregator and has secured commercial agreements with several tier-1 operators in the US through SlotMatrix.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers with North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
Erik Nyman, President, EveryMatrix Americas, said: “EveryMatrix is thrilled to expand our partnership with DraftKings into Canada and the largest province, Ontario.
“This means we now reach half of the country’s population and marks yet another important milestone for the company. DraftKings is one of the largest iGaming and sportsbook operators in North America and we are one step closer to full market penetration with them.”

Does DraftKings’ customer surcharge plan constitute an abuse of power?
“DraftKings passing on the surcharge to its customers feels like an abuse of power in markets where customers are not always spoiled for choice,” said Neil Roarty, head of North American publishing at ClickOut Media.
“Regulation of sports betting was supposed to provide more customer protection. However, if the brand with the highest market share can just whack a charge on players because it doesn’t want to pay more in taxes, then the whole concept of legal sports betting becomes questionable.
“Would this happen in any other industry? A market leader should not be able to hike up prices with customers having no option but to pay it. Another option of course is that they simply choose to play elsewhere.”

DraftKings Plans to Launch Mobile Sports Betting in Washington D.C.
DraftKings Inc. has announced its intention to launch its top-rated online sportsbook in Washington D.C., pending licensure and regulatory approvals. The expected arrival into the nation’s capital follows a market access agreement with D.C. United, which would pave the way for the digital sports entertainment and gaming company to operate in The District of Columbia. Once live, Washington D.C. would become the 29th jurisdiction in North America in which the DraftKings Sportsbook operates.
“It has been incredible to see legalized sports betting grow rapidly over the past six years, and with plans to launch our online sportsbook in D.C., DraftKings looks forward to expanding its presence in more than half the country. We would like to thank the D.C. Council for creating a path to bring DraftKings’ top-rated sportsbook to the nation’s capital. Together with D.C. United, we look forward to delivering fans a best-in-class experience through our customer-friendly product,” said Matt Kalish, President, DraftKings North America.
Washington D.C. is home to professional sports teams across the MLB, MLS, NBA, WNBA, NWSL and NHL and soon, eligible sports fans will have access to a wide variety of betting markets and key offerings such as same-game parlays, in-game betting, special odds boosts and more on DraftKings online sportsbook.
“With the D.C. Council’s recent decision to expand the world of sports betting in D.C., we look forward to working with DraftKings to introduce their online sportsbook as another way for D.C. residents to bet in the city. Our goal is to always make every fan experience seamless, and this platform will help us to deliver on that promise,” said Danita Johnson, President of Business Operations for D.C. United.
