DraftKings closes Wrigley Field retail sportsbook, bets shift online
DraftKings is shutting down its two-year-old retail sportsbook at Wrigley Field due to Illinois' high taxes, ending in-person betting there on May 31 while online wagering remains available statewide; existing bets can be redeemed through June 30 or by mail. The venue will become a DraftKings sports bar connected to the ballpark, with a small number of retail staff laid off, and the Cubs partnership continuing.
