DraftKings is pointing to recent gambling tax changes in Illinois as reason for shuttering the operations of its brick-and-mortar sportsbook located at historic Wrigley Field.
DraftKings has decided to close its physical sportsbook at Wrigley Field due to gambling tax alterations in Illinois. The sportsbook, which opened less than three years ago in March 2024, will cease operations following this development, as confirmed by a DraftKings spokesperson to SBC Americas.
