Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal publicly urged Delta Air Lines and DraftKings to discontinue their partnership aimed at offering in-flight gaming to passengers. This call for a halt introduces political pressure on a new, non-real money gaming initiative for DraftKings.
The partnership, which was expected to offer free gaming to eligible SkyMiles Members via Delta Sync Wi-Fi, does not involve real-money gambling or the use of miles. However, the senator's intervention reflects broader concerns about the expansion of gaming-related activities.
This development creates a potential headwind for DraftKings' efforts to diversify its offerings and expand brand reach through non-traditional channels. While the partnership does not involve real-money wagering, the political scrutiny could impact its implementation or public perception.
