Affiliates also stand to benefit from the launch if they join the DraftKings affiliate program. When new users join via links provided by an affiliate, they will get 40% gaming revenue in the first thirty days and then the commission structure will shift to 25%.
Jason Robbins, the co-founder of DraftKings explained that Pennsylvania being home to two big sports cities and college programs was an ideal sports betting market because of its massive fan base.
