1 How to reach a DraftKings live person — expert guide

Overview: official channels and what to expect

DraftKings primarily routes customer service through its Help Center (https://help.draftkings.com) and in‑app support. As of 2024–2025 the fastest consistently available method for reaching a live representative is the in‑app or web live chat, which DraftKings lists as available 24/7 for account, deposit/withdrawal and wagering issues. DraftKings does not advertise a single, universal 24/7 phone number for all customers in every jurisdiction; phone support availability is state‑ and product‑dependent (sportsbook vs. daily fantasy).

Expect these baseline service metrics: live chat initial response commonly under 5–10 minutes for standard tickets, email reply windows averaging 24–48 hours, and KYC/document reviews taking 1–5 business days depending on volume. Withdrawals typically clear within the timeframe tied to the method: ACH 3–5 business days, wire transfers 1–2 business days, and in some states PayPal or other e‑wallets often complete within 24–48 hours after approval.

Step‑by‑step: finding a live person right now

1) Open the DraftKings app (iOS/Android) or go to https://help.draftkings.com and select “Contact Us” or “Live Chat.” The in‑app chat button is the primary path to a live agent for most account and wagering issues. 2) If chat is not offered for your query, the Help Center will show alternative contact options; these can include a state‑specific phone number, email, or scheduled call back where available. 3) For regulatory or escalated complaints, DraftKings provides state licensing information and links from the Help Center that point to the appropriate state gaming regulator.

If you prefer social media, DraftKings maintains a customer help handle (for example, @DraftKingsHelp on Twitter as used historically by the company). Social channels are best for status updates or triage, not for transmitting personal identity documents or sensitive financial information.

Phone support realities and how to access it

There is no single “800” number universally promoted for all customers; DraftKings deliberately centralizes contact through the Help Center so it can route queries by product and jurisdiction. That means a phone option will appear only when your account and state regulations permit phone support. If a phone number is available for your account, it will be shown after you select your issue category in the Help Center or app contact flow.

If you absolutely need voice contact and the app/Help Center does not show a number: open the web chat, request a call back, or ask the agent to transfer you to phone support or a supervisor. Document the chat ID and agent name—those references speed any escalation and are used to attach notes to your account for follow‑up.

What to have ready before you contact DraftKings

Account identifiers: full name exactly as on the account, registered email address, DraftKings username (if applicable) and the 6–10 digit account ID shown in the app/account page.

Verification info: date of birth, last 4 digits of SSN (U.S.), billing address, and a government ID image (driver’s license or passport) if requested for KYC. Preparing clear photos (JPEG or PNG) speeds verification—avoid glare, show corners of the ID, and include a selfie if requested.

Transaction details: exact deposit/withdrawal amounts, dates and transaction IDs (example: ACH reference or card suffix), bet ID(s) for disputed wagers, and screenshots of error messages. These specifics reduce investigation time from days to hours.

Escalation, dispute resolution and regulators

If your issue is not resolved through chat, request escalation to a supervisor or ask for a case number. DraftKings will typically escalate responsible disputes (account access, withholding of funds, or suspected fraud) to its internal risk and compliance teams; timelines for internal investigations vary but are commonly quoted as 3–10 business days depending on complexity.

If you remain unsatisfied after internal escalation, you have two pragmatic next steps: 1) file a complaint with the gaming regulator for your state (state regulator contact details are linked from the DraftKings Help Center), or 2) submit a formal complaint to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or your state attorney general. Keep all correspondence, chat transcripts and timestamps—these are the documents regulators and external bodies will request.

Corporate contact basics and location

DraftKings, Inc. is headquartered in Boston, MA. The commonly referenced corporate address is 222 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116. For account‑level support and operational issues, use the in‑app Help Center or https://help.draftkings.com—these channels create tickets that attach to your account. Corporate office addresses are useful when sending formal legal notices, regulatory submissions or investor correspondence, but they are not the fastest path for routine account help.

If you need written confirmation of resolutions, request an emailed case summary at the end of your chat or phone interaction and note the case number. This written record is valuable when disputing charges with banks, filing with a regulator, or appealing a compliance decision.
