DraftKings renews State Council Funding Program amongst RG support

Originally launched during 2022, the DraftKings State Council Funding Program has provided over $2m to state councils and affiliates of the NCPG.

DraftKings has reinforced its commitment to responsible gaming (RG) in celebration of Problem Gambling Awareness Month by choosing to renew its State Council Funding Program to further support nationwide resources. The operator also stated it has been one-year since the official launch of its My Stat Sheet tool and that it would be launching a national RG-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,” DraftKings Chief RG Officer Lori Kalani said. 

“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.”

Originally launched during 2022, the State Council Funding Program has provided over $2m to state councils and affiliates of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) to support educational campaigns, training programs and resources nationwide.

Throughout 2025, DraftKings will distribute over $500,000 to 34 US state problem gambling councils, including those in states where it does not operate.

Funding through the program has helped support numerous initiatives such as the California Council on Problem Gambling, Louisiana Association on Compulsive Gambling, Maryland Council on Problem Gambling and North Carolina Council on Problem Gambling. 

My Stat Sheet offers players personalized insights into their gaming behavior and originally launched during 2024. DraftKings stated that, within the first year of operation, nearly half of its entire player base has visited My Stat Sheet, gaining a “detailed” view on time spent, deposits, withdrawals, contest participation, wagers and net wins or losses. 

Developed with branding support from the NFL and NBA, the national RG advertising campaign during Problem Gambling Awareness Month is backed by a commitment of over $10m to “amplify its message and reach a broader audience.”
