"All eyes will be on the matches in France, and we are excited to offer soccer 
fans a more engaging way to enjoy the action," said Matt Kalish, CRO and 
co-founder of DraftKings. "The passion of our fans informs our innovation and 
product roadmap, so for such a special event that only comes along every four 
years, we wanted to ensure our full complement of offerings would be at their 
fingertips." 

Fueling the DraftKings Women's World Cup contests are the company's data 
capabilities, which will source match and player information at every moment of 
play for fans to leverage in their daily fantasy selections. Customers can 
enjoy DraftKings Classic and Showdown modes for World Cup matches, constructing 
lineups of six players while staying within a $50,000 salary cap range and 
designating a "captain" slot that grants one player a bonus multiplier. Classic 
contests will require selecting players from more than one match, while 
Showdown contests must include players from each team in a single match.

In addition to the daily fantasy contests available in eight countries around 
the world – including the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia – fans in New 
Jersey and Mississippi will be able to legally bet on the Women's World Cup for 
the first time via DraftKings Sportsbook, with mobile only available in New 
Jersey.

To get in the game inside the game during the Women's World Cup, players can 
either head to www.draftkings.com or download the DraftKings app via iOS and 
Android.
