Online sports betting sites are down during Super Bowl 55.
As Super Bowl LV between Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs finally arrived, bettors were let down by DraftKings going down for the hour before the game started.
On the ONE DAY of the year bettors needed DraftKings to be up and running, bettors are seeing their nightmare become reality.
DraftKings is driving Super Bowl LV betters crazy

Be it prop bets or picking against the spread, DraftKings bettors are irate that they can’t do anything.
@DraftKings being down before the SB is not a good look

This is plain bad luck, but don’t tell bettors that are currently locked out placing bets that. They probably haven’t stopped screaming.
@DraftKings unreal the app is down during the biggest game of the year

Those Brady passing yards wagers will have to wait for a while, as DraftKings is letting their bettors down.

Not only are prospective bettors locked out, but bettors that have already placed bets have to be biting their nails.
As if having money on the game wasn’t stressful enough, not fans have to deal with this nightmare.
DraftKings is dealing with lag and inactivity, a lethal combination for a product built on being fast and reliable.
#Draftkings are you seriously down RN!?!?! It’s the Fing Super Bowl!!!!!
