Daily fantasy sports operator DraftKings has received a UK gambling license while naming former PartyPoker boss Jeffrey Haas to head its new UK operations.
In June, DraftKings confirmed that it had applied for a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) license as part of its international expansion efforts. On Monday, DraftKings announced it had received its new UK diploma and the company expects to launch in the UK sometime in Q4 2015, with plans to launch in markets in continental Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America next year.
