The updated terms establish that daily fantasy terms apply only to fantasy sports contests and explicitly exclude other DraftKings services like sportsbook, igaming, and horse racing. Illinois residents now face a minimum age requirement of 21 to open accounts and participate in contests, while the prior exception allowing 18-year-olds in Virginia who opened accounts before July 1, 2025 no longer applies. The terms now prohibit use of VPNs or attempts to disguise physical location while using the platform, treating such use as a terms violation. Additionally, DraftKings has reserved authority to transfer account funds across its affiliated platforms to meet regulatory or operational requirements without requiring advance notice for each transfer.
