DraftKings Partners UK Platform Undergoes Compliance Testing

DraftKings is moving right along in the UK market and has secured a partnership with NMi, a company that has been commissioned to conduct compliance testing for the daily fantasy sports operator's UK platform. As a condition of its UK licensing, DraftKings' DFS contests will be tested on both desktop and mobile formats to guarantee compliance with the UK Gambling Commission's technical requirements. DraftKings chief international officer Jeffrey Haas said, “We are committed to providing competitive and entertaining contests for players while ensuring full compliance with regulatory requirements in every jurisdiction we work within.” “Partnering with NMi affirms this commitment and we are proud to work with such an experienced and trusted entity.” NMi's Gaming Division business development manager, Julian Borg-Barthet, said, “We have had quite a bit of experience with fantasy products across Europe already, so when DraftKings approached us for the UK, NMi were in a great position to support them. “Daily fantasy sports as a new category have phenomenal potential here, and having DraftKings as one of our clients is a proud moment for us at NMi.”
