(PRESS RELEASE) --
DraftKings Inc. unveiled DK Replay in Oregon, a new sports betting offering that introduces the excitement of historical betting markets for Major League Baseball. No longer bound by the current MLB season, eligible customers can now bet pitch-by-pitch on hundreds of thousands of historical plate appearances. Beginning today, March 25, DK Replay will be available in Oregon after receiving approval to launch by the Oregon Lottery.
Eligible customers can access DK Replay by downloading the latest version of the
DraftKings Sportsbook app.
DraftKings is also exploring additional state rollouts of DK Replay, subject to regulatory approvals.
“DK Replay offers a new experience for our customers, allowing them to tap into the excitement of pitch-by-pitch betting in a unique historical environment,” said Corey Gottlieb, Chief Product Officer at DraftKings. “With DK Replay, we’re able to offer an experience that will allow customers to enjoy their favorite sports no matter the time of year.”
With DK Replay, customers can wager on anonymized MLB plate appearances from the last several seasons, through the DraftKings Sportsbook app:
- After launching the offering in the top-rated DraftKings Sportsbook mobile app, customers will be presented with an anonymized pitcher versus batter matchup.
- These players will be rated either bronze, silver, or gold based on key stats from the original game, such as batting average, slugging percentage, ERA, and strikeouts per nine innings, so that customers can analyze the matchup.
- Customers are able to place a wager within the pitch clock on whether the next pitch will be a ball, strike, or in-play.
- Once the bet is placed, the actual outcome of the pitch will be revealed, and the bet will be graded. Following the conclusion of the full plate appearance, or if the customer doesn’t bet on subsequent pitches due to the pitch clock getting to zero, the full original details of the matchup will be revealed, including the pitcher, batter and original game information. Customers will then have the option to bet on a new matchup.
DraftKings offers a comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools, including My Stat Sheet, which allows customers to track personalized gaming activity, and My Budget Builder, which helps customers set custom limits and reminders through a guided, easy-to-use experience.
