DraftKings wraps up Reignmakers and its NFT Marketplace

However, customers can still access their accounts.
DraftKings has opted to discontinue Reignmakers and its NFT Marketplace. The operator posted an update on its website and said its decision was based on “recent legal developments.”
The decision perhaps reflects the market’s move away from NFTs (non-fungible tokens), or certainly at least gaming’s move away.
However, customers still have the option of accessing their Reignmakers digital game pieces, along with other NFTs through the “My Portfolio” page.
Customers can withdraw their NFTs in a couple of ways. They will have the option of individual NFT withdrawals, or they can select the feature to take out all eligible NFTs.
DraftKings said it believes discontinuing Reignmakers “is the right course of action,” though not a choice that was made lightly.
The operator went on to further discuss the change and how this will affect players in a statement, “Due to this update, we have decided to offer all holders of Reignmakers digital game pieces the opportunity to relinquish those game pieces to DraftKings in exchange for a cash payment (subject to certain conditions).
“The payment amount will be based on factors that include, but are not limited to, the relative size and quality of your digital game piece collection.
“At DraftKings, our mission is to serve our customers with excellence. We are committed to meeting the needs of today’s sports fans by providing exciting and engaging gameplay experiences. In line with our innovative spirit, we ventured into the NFT-based sports world with Reignmakers and accomplished so much in such a short period of time. We are incredibly grateful for the passionate community that has supported us over the past two seasons.”
