Matt Kalish, Chief Revenue Officer of DraftKings, said, "We certainly have global ambitions here and want to be operating in as many countries as possible and as quickly as possible. The long game here is really tied in more with our international strategy."


The only barrier DraftKings faces is the fact that more than half of the eSports industry is located in Asia. DraftKings only operates in the United States and Canada; however, the company recently announced plans for launching an international expansion by the end of 2015.
