DraftKings and FanDuel-owner Flutter Entertainment saw their stocks fall after the Illinois Senate passed legislation to increase taxes on sports betting, potentially raising the tax rate from 15% to as high as 40% on sports gaming companies' adjusted gross revenue. DraftKings fell 10% while Flutter fell 7.7% in US trading, with concerns about higher tax rates impacting investor sentiment. Rush Street Interactive Inc. gained 1.4%, and Penn Entertainment Inc. dropped 5.8%, as they are expected to pay lower tax rates compared to DraftKings.
