DraftKings Sports Betting Championships
DraftKings announced plans for the 2020 Sports Betting Spring Championship earlier this year. Taking place in Weehawken, New Jersey during the first week of March Madness Betting, the Spring Championship coincides with the FBWC.
If college hoops aren’t your thing, there will also be a 2020 Sports Betting Fall Championship. Dates and details for the latter event are still TBA, but they will presumably include betting on college football and the NFL. The winner of each contest will qualify for the 2020 Sports Betting National Championship later this year.
DraftKings’ first rendition of the Sports Betting National Championship, which included the likes of Phil Helmuth, pro sports bettor Rufus Peabody, and DFS stars Awesemo and youdacao, didn’t end without controversy.
