How DraftKings Enabled Real-Time Stablecoin Account Funding for Digital Gaming
Stablecoin deposits reduced funding delays and provided 24/7 account access during peak gaming events.
OPPORTUNITY
Deposit Speed Impacted User Engagement
Traditional ACH deposits introduce settlement delays. Card funding includes chargeback risk and fee exposure. During major sporting events, users expect instant account access. Delayed deposits can result in lost engagement and reduced transaction volume. DraftKings required a compliant funding rail that operates continuously and reduces fraud risk.
SOLUTION
Real-Time Stablecoin Funding Rail
zerohash integrated stablecoin account funding into DraftKings’ platform. Users can deposit supported stablecoins with near-instant confirmation. zerohash manages wallet screening, transaction monitoring, regulatory licensing, and configurable user limits.
Onchain settlement reduces chargeback exposure compared to card rails. Integrated fiat conversion allows seamless entry and exit. The infrastructure supports high transaction throughput during peak events while maintaining compliance standards.
OUTCOME
Faster Funding, Higher Engagement
Users gain immediate access to gaming balances. Funding friction declines. Settlement finality reduces fraud exposure. The 24/7 funding rail aligns with event-driven gaming cycles and improves user experience during high-volume periods.
“[Stablecoins] are something we’re really focused on at DraftKings. Most of our products are not during normal banking hours. They’re evenings and weekends. Ninety percent of our volume comes the 12 hours before an event; half of it live. And our customers aren’t funding an account on Monday to trade. They are opening the app on Sunday.”
