DraftKings wants to be involved in all the sports, even the ones played from your living room.
Beginning next month, the daily fantasy site is adding competitive video gaming – commonly referred to as eSports – to its list of fantasy offerings. That means you can draft a team of professional gamers and compete head to head or in a group against others online for real money, the same way you can compete on the site in more traditional fantasy sports like football and baseball.
Market research company SuperData estimates that 134 million people around the world watch eSports and that the industry generates more than $600 million in annual revenue. That’s a lot of potential DraftKings users.
