-: Something I really like about it is just the sort of
growing and entrepreneurial and sort of like new task
nature of it.
So it's like oh, we're tackling this new project
for this next couple weeks.
So we'll like kinda get in a room,
think about the best way to do it.
And so something that you know, no one at the company
has really tackled before, like it's some new thing
involving sports betting and like so we'll get people
from all different parts of the organization
come together and sort of work on a plan for, you know,
doing this in the future.
So I think it's really interesting.
I think for draft kings, it's definitely very competitive.
There's a lot of very good competitors
that have had a lot of experience doing this
over in Europe and Australia, you know, large casino brands.
Like I think our brand is very strong from you know,
growing a lotta players, having fun playing the fantasy side
of things, but I think the competitiveness
is just gonna ratchet up when more people,
more companies from Europe and other parts of the world,
and even start-ups in the United States,
like begin to grow and you know,
challenge the more established brands.
And it's just gonna become a crazy competitive landscape.
And that's something that we're trying to work at.
And I think we have a good start,
but I think state by state,
the way that the regulation is happening,
like each state is it's own like different battle ground
for competitiveness.
So it's like hey we're doin' well in like New Jersey,
we're doin' well in Indiana, but say New York, you know,
legalizes sports betting next year.
Or say like Texas or California.
Like that's gonna be a completely new challenge
and that's also something getting back to like
what my team does.
My team has been working a lot on like multi-state readiness
and sort of new state expansion.
So like when we go live in XYZ state in a week, a month,
or many months, like as the operations team,
we have to make sure our offering is ready, you know.
NFL isn't like not appearing on the site or like
oh, people can't view any NBA bets or something.
Like that's our responsibility to get those things
and make sure they're sort of on the site.
