DraftKings debuts new responsible gaming tool

My Budget Builder helps players manage their entertainment budgets across various DraftKings platforms, including sportsbook, DFS and online casino.

DraftKings has released its new responsible gaming tool My Budget Builder in the hopes of guiding players through several categories such as deposit amounts, total wagers, maximum wager size, loss limits, time spent, contest entries and contest fees to create a personalized gaming budget. 

“My Budget Builder is a new kind of Responsible Gaming tool—intuitive, proactive and personalized,” DraftKings Chief Responsible Gaming Officer Lori Kalani said. 

“It reflects our ongoing commitment to creating fun, enjoyable environments for our players. By enhancing how players engage with limit-setting, we are providing another resource that players can use to help them play responsibly.”

My Budget Builder helps players manage their entertainment budgets across various DraftKings platforms, including sportsbook, daily fantasy sports (DFS) and online casino, by setting customized limits and reminders through the guided experience. 

Following a review of their choices, players will then confirm and apply their limits or reminders for a specified duration, but maintain the ability to decrease limits throughout the period. 

Good to know: DraftKings sportsbook will begin imposing a $0.50 transaction fee for all mobile and online sports wagers placed in Illinois following a similar decision made by Flutter, the owner of FanDuel, in response to lawmakers recently increasing the tax on sports wagering for operators

Players can access My Budget Builder through the DraftKings Responsible Gaming Center online or through the operator’s mobile application. 

The newly introduced tool was said to “complement” DraftKings’ My Stat Sheet, which provides players with a detailed view of their gaming activity and was released in 2024.
