Sports Betting in New Hampshire
DraftKings is the sole legal mobile sportsbook in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire legalized sports betting in 2019, with online and mobile launching on December 30, 2019. The market is functionally a monopoly: DraftKings holds the exclusive mobile and retail sports-betting contract with the New Hampshire Lottery, blocking entry from FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and others. Retail sportsbooks operate at DraftKings-branded locations including Manchester, Seabrook, Dover, and Nashua. The exclusive contract was designed to maximize state revenue (DraftKings pays the Lottery 51% of mobile gross gaming revenue, the highest revenue share in the US), but the lack of competition means thinner promotional offers than in open markets.
