DraftKings Expands with Sports IQ Analytics Acquisition

DraftKings, a prominent bookmaker, has finalized the acquisition of Sports IQ Analytics, a company specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions for the online sports betting sector.

While the financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed, Sports IQ CEO Omer Dor confirmed the acquisition through a post on LinkedIn. DraftKings, however, has yet to officially comment on the purchase.
