However, Draft Kings plans to operate up to 10 in-person sports betting halls across the state in addition to an online gambling portal. The latest estimates were for spring of 2020. The state of New Hampshire will get to keep 50 percent of the gambling revenue, estimated to be in the neighborhood of $10 million in the first year of operations.

In addition, Intralot, a Greek company which specializes in lottery administration, will administer lottery-based sports wagering across the state.
