DraftKings announced Thursday an agreement with the St. Louis Blues as their official sports betting and daily fantasy operator, just 11 days ahead of Missouri's legal sports betting launch on Monday, Dec. 1.

DraftKings has been an NHL official sports betting, daily fantasy sports and iGaming partner for the last four years (2021).

As part of the agreement, DraftKings will spotlight responsible gaming through a pregame, in-arena feature, encouraging fans to play responsibly, have fun and access their comprehensive suite of responsible gaming tools and resources including their My Stat Sheet and My Budget Builder.

“As we get ready to launch our best-in-class online sportsbook for Missouri sports fans, we’re excited to deliver the fun and entertainment we’re known for in a responsible way, alongside the Blues,” said Stephanie Sherman, Chief Marketing Officer at DraftKings in a news release. “The Blues’ strong fan base and forward-thinking mindset make them an ideal collaborator as we look to elevate the fan experience in Missouri.”

The Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC) granted one of two direct mobile sports betting licenses to DraftKings in August, meaning the license enables DraftKings to operate independently across The Show-Me State.

Missouri will become the 29th state on Dec. 1 where DraftKings offers legal sports betting.

“Providing Blues fans with the tools on how to play responsibly is a high priority for our organization as we all prepare for sports betting to launch in Missouri in December,” said Steve Chapman, St. Louis Blues Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer. “Through the accessibility of these resources, and exclusive experiences and events designed for Blues fans beginning in December, our work with DraftKings will help educate customers on how to play responsibly while bringing them closer to their favorite hockey team.”

Blues Recap

On Thursday, the Blues dropped a 3-2 overtime road decision to the Philadelphia Flyers, dropping to 6-9-6 (18 points) on the season and currently in seventh place in the Western Conference's Central Division.

Defenseman Justin Faulk scored two first period goals in the loss.

Next up, St. Louis will visit the New York Islanders at 3:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 22.
