Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What DraftKings does
DraftKings runs daily fantasy sports contests, a sportsbook and an online casino across the US states where each product is licensed. Users fund an account, enter contests or place wagers, and withdraw winnings through the same balance. Because lineups and bets are tied to the start of real games, availability matters most in the minutes before a kickoff.
What an outage looks like
DraftKings tracks seven components that fail independently, so trouble is usually confined to one product or one platform. The sportsbook can be affected while daily fantasy works, or both mobile apps while the websites are fine. Scoring and Feeds is its own component, so live scores and contest standings can freeze while bets still place, and Payments can fail on deposits and withdrawals on their own.
What to do about it
Check status.draftkings.com, which lists Fantasy Website, Sportsbook Website, Fantasy Mobile, Sportsbook Mobile, Scoring and Feeds, Payments and Casino separately, so you can see which product is affected rather than guessing. The page offers updates by email, RSS, webhook and Slack, and keeps a status history view. For anything account-specific, such as a wager that did not register, it directs users to draftkings.com/help/contact-us.

How we measure this
- We request DraftKings's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — the most recent check ran from 8 of them.
- A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A
403or429means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage. - A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
- Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
- Where DraftKings publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
