ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision creates jurisdiction-specific eligibility thresholds that DraftKings must enforce to comply with state gaming regulations. The clause also establishes that permitting underage participation constitutes a criminal offense, creating legal obligations for the platform to implement age verification mechanisms.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users must satisfy the age requirement applicable to their physical jurisdiction before account creation or contest participation. Users physically located in specified states face higher age thresholds than the baseline 18-year requirement, which DraftKings enforces through account eligibility verification.
