DraftKings is established.

Founded by Matthew Kalis, Jason Robbins, and Paul Liberman, initially in Liberman’s home, its first office is located at 225 Franklin Street. Along with predecessor and New York rival FanDuel, the Internet site allows participants to bet on “fantasy” sports teams based on the performance of actual players in real-life games. DraftKings currently offers sports betting in 14 states, but not in Massachusetts.
