Delta Air Lines partners with DraftKings as in-flight gambling faces potential changes under Trump administration
Delta Air Lines have announced a partnership with the bookmaker DraftKings.
“Our partnership with DraftKings will build on the games portfolio that we already offer today via Delta Sync and our seatback screens while using the deep expertise that Jason and his team have developed over the past decade,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said.
The airline is expected to limit the availability of DraftKings products to international flights, as gambling regulations vary by region.
While in-flight gambling is banned in the United States, analysts suggest that Delta may seek to lobby the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump to reconsider these restrictions aboard airplanes.
”This move could position Delta as a pioneer in tapping into this potentially lucrative yet untapped market”, writes Next.io reporter Sonja Lindenberg.
