DraftKings Reports Second Quarter Revenue Growth of 37% to $1513 Million

DraftKings Inc. announced its second quarter 2025 financial results. The Company also posted a second quarter 2025 business update and a slide presentation on the Investor Relations section of its website at investors.draftkings.com.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, DraftKings reported revenue of $1513 million, an increase of $408 million, or 37%, compared to $1104 million during the same period in 2024. The increase in the Company’s second quarter 2025 revenue was driven primarily by continued healthy customer engagement, efficient acquisition of new customers, higher structural Sportsbook hold percentage, and sportsbook-friendly outcomes. Revenue of $1513 million, net income of $158 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $301 million in the second quarter set new records for the company.

“We set records for revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter, driven by an acceleration in revenue growth to 37% year-over-year. We are pleased to be maintaining our fiscal year 2025 guidance, with revenue expected to be closer to the high end of our range, highlighting the strength of our platform as we prepare for an exciting new state launch,” said Jason Robins, DraftKings’ Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder.

“We remain focused on investing in key growth initiatives across the organization to maximize shareholder returns over the long-term. In addition to our investments, we repurchased 6.5 million shares through our stock repurchase program in the first two quarters of this year,” said Alan Ellingson, DraftKings’ Chief Financial Officer.

Monthly Unique Payers (MUPs) increased to 3.3 million average monthly unique paying customers in the second quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 6% compared to the second quarter of 2024. This increase reflects strong unique payer retention and acquisition across DraftKings’ Sportsbook and iGaming product offerings and the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket, MUPs increased by 5% compared to the second quarter of 2024.

Average Revenue per MUP (ARPMUP) increased to $151 in the second quarter of 2025, representing a 29% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to improvement in the Sportsbook hold percentage and improved promotional reinvestment for Sportsbook. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of Jackpocket, ARPMUP increased 30% compared to the second quarter of 2024.
