The poker product from DraftKings is accessible in 15 different sports genres in 7 different countries across the globe.

DraftKings Global market, which launched in August 2021 and delivers handpicked NFT drops as well as secondary-market trades, is a digital collectables ecosystem aimed at the general public. DraftKings also own VSiN across broadcast and co-production firms.
Autograph and the DraftKings Marketplace both command a premium.
Autograph is a Next-Generation Television (NFT) event that brings together all of the world’s most well-known brands and celebrities from sports, entertainment, and culture to exhibit new datasets and interactions for people all around the world. Autograph, co-founded by Tom Brady and based in Los Angeles, is living in the present era of accumulation with a streamlined and high similarity, true and original items, and distinctive relationships.
All five Tom Brady Premier Preseason Access Collection drops supplied by Autograph sold out instantaneously on the DraftKings Marketplace, the widely accessible NFC ecosystem built by. Each drop in the Carbon, Platinum, Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby editions was ready for direct accumulate in the second-hand market, multiple users marketed and sold NFTs within the network, generating over $1 million in high gross value (GMV).
Our goal with DraftKings Marketplace is to build a powerful obtainable perspective that introduces millions of people to the world of digital collectibles, and I’d introduce our community for their overwhelming support, said Matt Kalish, co-founder and president of DraftKings.
“The value proposition has been extraordinarily positive, with fans queuing up at multiples of the supply available to be a part of this maiden NFT drop. This was a huge achievement and a significant first step toward achieving our platform’s long-term goals.”
The drop lineups within each edition were three times longer than the existing capacity for the first Tom Brady digital collectibles created by Autographph, with just over 10,000 Elite NFTs available. The platform’s user-friendly design matched the high demand, encouraging positive user sentiment throughout the day by allowing both new and seasoned collectors to easily buy and exchange the exclusive digital material. Collectors will have another chance tomorrow is to get their hands on the limited-edition Tom Brady Signature Pre -season Access Collection, which features NFCs that are all digitally signed by Brady.
Because a favourable backlog position does not guarantee that a user will be able to buy an NFT on the DraftKings Marketplace, account verification and pre-funding may be useful in ensuring a smooth transaction. The Signature collection will feature significantly fewer digital artifacts than the Premier collection, with only roughly 300 overall. The Tom Brady Ruby Signed edition from the Signature collection, with only 12 copies available. Preseason Access Pass NFT owners will have priority access to a future Autograph NFT drop, regardless of edition.
