By using a VPN, you will bypass all of DraftKing’s geographical restrictions. Part of why DraftKings is banned in some US states is that they (for example, Nevada) deemed the site to be a gambling website, and as such, requested it to have a license or be inaccessible in those regions of the States. If you’re not located in those countries, you cannot access DraftKings. DraftKings is quick to explain why:ĭraftKings is only supported in some locations in the US, Canada, and “other select jurisdictions.” DraftKings isn’t clear about what those “other select jurisdictions” are in particular, but that’s most countries in the western part of Europe. Part of the question of why VPN is an advantage for those who play DraftKings is found in the image above – by using a VPN, users are able to play DraftKings from a restricted state.
