Pariplay® launches Konami Gaming content with DraftKings
NeoGames S.A subsidiary Pariplay®, the leading aggregator and content provider, has delivered captivating games from Konami Gaming, Inc. to DraftKings in New Jersey for the first time.
The launch follows the recent integration of the leading provider’s content onto the Fusion® aggregation platform and sees top-tier sports betting operator DraftKings significantly strengthen its gaming offering in Garden State.
Synonymous with innovation and quality, the integration of Konami’s online portfolio of popular land-based casino titles onto the Fusion® platform allows DraftKings to serve its players with a range of popular classics and modern top titles that push the limits of originality while providing quality in every detail.
DraftKings, the sole vertically integrated sports betting operator in the United States, has already seen success in New Jersey with the launch of content from Wizard Games, Pariplay’s in-house games studio.
The collaboration is the latest in a series of major strides made by Pariplay in North America, as it looks to consolidate its position as the leading aggregation platform on the continent.
Shivan Patel, VP North America, Pariplay, said: “Both DraftKings and Konami are iconic names both in North America and around the world. Connecting both parties to players is a very exciting moment for us.
“Konami’s heritage in the land-based sector plays very well with online players and with such a large audience to put its game in front of through DraftKings, the potential of this launch is huge.”

DraftKings Renews State Council Funding Program and Expands Responsible Gaming Initiatives

This Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM), DraftKings Inc. is reinforcing its commitment to Responsible Gaming through a series of initiatives and key milestones. The company is renewing its State Council Funding Program to further support nationwide resources, marking the one-year anniversary of its industry-first My Stat Sheet tool, and launching a national Responsible Gaming focused advertising campaign to raise awareness for responsible play.
“At DraftKings, Responsible Gaming is fundamental to our mission, and we are committed to making tools, resources, and education available to all our players to help them play responsibly. Through initiatives like My Stat Sheet, which provides players with their personalized play data, and our new national awareness campaign, we’re reinforcing the importance of responsible play. Additionally, with the renewal of our State Council Funding Program, we’re continuing to support organizations that expand access to resources and education for players, their families, and communities,” said Lori Kalani, Chief Responsible Gaming Officer at DraftKings.
State Council Funding Program Renewal
Originally launched in 2022, the DraftKings State Council Funding Program has provided over $2 million to state councils and affiliates of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) to support educational campaigns, training programs, and resources nationwide. This year, the company will distribute over $500,000 to 34 U.S. state problem gambling councils, including those in states where it does not operate.
A Year of Impact with My Stat Sheet
Launched in 2024, My Stat Sheet—an industry-first feature—offers players personalized insights into their gaming behavior with intuitive charts and data. Just one year after launch, nearly half of all DraftKings players have visited My Stat Sheet, with 13 million unique total visits to date, underscoring its impact in promoting informed gaming and responsible play. Similar to providing consumers screen time or fitness tracking, My Stat Sheet gives DraftKings’ players a detailed view of time spent, deposits, withdrawals, contest participation, wagers, and net wins or losses. Players can review their stats across different timeframes, promoting reflection on their play, and complementing the other tools and resources available in DraftKings’ RG Center.
National Responsible Gaming Advertising Campaign
DraftKings is launching a national Responsible Gaming advertising campaign during Problem Gambling Awareness Month, backed by a commitment of over $10 million to amplify its message and reach a broader audience. Developed with branding support from the NFL and NBA, the ad emphasizes the importance of setting limits and making informed choices. Airing ahead of the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, the ad is expected to reach millions of viewers, reinforcing responsible play and promoting sports betting as entertainment strictly for adults.
