DraftKings Launches Personalized Budgeting Tool: My Budget Builder
U.S.-based operator DraftKings has introduced a new responsible gaming feature — My Budget Builder — designed to help users manage their play across all of its platforms, including sports betting, fantasy sports, and online casino.
What is My Budget Builder?
My Budget Builder is an intuitive, user-friendly tool that empowers players to take control of their spending and behavior within the DraftKings ecosystem.
The feature is available through the DraftKings Responsible Gaming Center on both the website and mobile app. Users can set the following limits:
- Deposit limits
- Maximum wager amounts
- Loss limits
- Session time restrictions
- Tournament participation and entry fee caps
Players can choose between strict limits or reminder-based alerts. Once selected, preferences are confirmed and go into effect for a specified period — daily, weekly, or monthly.
Limit Management Principles
Decreasing limits can be done at any time, while increasing limits is only allowed after the set time period has ended — a feature designed to encourage more mindful play.
A Companion to My Stat Sheet
My Budget Builder complements DraftKings’ existing responsible gaming tool, My Stat Sheet, which provides detailed insights into user behavior, including:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Play Time | Total time spent in the app |
| Deposits | Deposit amounts and frequency |
| Withdrawals | All withdrawal transactions tracked |
| Tournament Participation | Frequency and types of tournaments entered |
| Set Limits | Comparison of actual activity vs. defined limits |
Since its launch in 2024, My Stat Sheet has been accessed over 20 million times, highlighting its popularity and usefulness among players.
Benefits of My Budget Builder
This new feature is part of DraftKings’ broader commitment to promoting responsible gaming. It aims to:
- Increase player awareness
- Reduce financial risks
- Create a safer and more comfortable gaming environment
- Minimize impulsive behavior
According to Lori Kalani, Chief Responsible Gaming Officer at DraftKings, the tool not only helps users monitor their activity but also builds healthier gaming habits over time.
How to Use the Tool
Getting started with My Budget Builder is simple:
- Visit the DraftKings Responsible Gaming Center via the website or mobile app.
- Select a limit category (e.g., deposits, wagers, time).
- Set your preferred limits or reminders.
- Confirm and activate your settings for the chosen time period.
This allows players to establish a personalized gaming budget and maintain full control over their DraftKings experience.
Conclusion
DraftKings continues to innovate in the responsible gaming space. The launch of My Budget Builder builds upon the success of My Stat Sheet and solidifies the company’s role as a leader in developing player-first safety tools.
With these features, DraftKings users can now play with greater awareness and a clear understanding of their boundaries — both timewise and financially.
