The latest agreement comes only a week after DraftKings teamed up with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation to provide online sports betting in Connecticut. The agreement which the operator inked last week is still subject to legislative and regulatory approvals. However, with the agreement, DraftKings became the official daily fantasy sports partner of the Foxwoods Resort Casino, operated by the tribe.

According to Tim Richardson, Senior Vice President at InComm Payments, the popularity and fan base of DraftKings has grown significantly in the last few years.

Furthermore, he added that the new agreement presents a great opportunity for consumers and DraftKings. In conclusion, Richardson said that for the first time, DraftKings will benefit from a brand presence in tens of thousands of InComm Payments’ retail partner locations across the U.S.
