           Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4
           Filed March 12, 2020
           File No. 333-235805

Dear Mr. Baker:

      We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the
following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with
information so we
may better understand your disclosure.

       Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement
and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts
and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why
in your
response.

       After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the
information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless
we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our March 3,
2020 letter.

Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed March 12, 2020

The Private Placement, page 96

1.     We note your response to comment 7, but we are not persuaded by your
response. It
       appears from the disclosure in your filing and subscription agreement
that investors in the
       private placement invested with the expectation of receiving shares of
New DraftKings
       and not shares of DEAC. Because such investors have already been offered
shares of
       New DraftKings, and have made an investment decision to pay for and take
delivery of
       shares of New DraftKings, it appears the issuance of such shares to
these investors was
       conducted through the private placement. Because the private placement
of the shares of
       New DraftKings to these investors appears to be complete, this
transaction would not be
       registered on the Form S-4. Therefore, please remove the private
placement shares from

analysis as to why
         you are eligible to register these shares on this S-4
proxy/registration statement.

2.       You continue to disclose herein you are evaluating the accounting
treatment of the
         issuance of New DraftKings Class B common stock in connection with the
Business
         Combination. Please provide us and disclose the basis for your
accounting treatment
         when the evaluation is completed.

Operations, page

3.       We note your disclosure on page 47 that "[t]he occurrence and threat
of coronavirus could
         cause professional sports leagues in the United States to cancel or
postpone sporting
         events or hold them without live spectators. In the event that a
public health pandemic,
         such as the coronavirus, results in cancellation of sporting events or
significant changes in
         how they are conducted, this could reduce customers' use of, or
spending on, our product
         offerings, which could adversely impact our business, financial
condition and results of
         operations." We note that the NBA has suspended the remainder of this
year's season, the
         NHL has suspended the remainder of this year's season, the NCAA Men's
basketball
         tournament has been cancelled, and the MLB has delayed its 2020
baseball season, all due
         to the spread of COVID-19. We further note the "Important Coronavirus
Update"
         contained on your website relating to refunds you will issue and the
closure of certain
         retail sportsbook operations. Please revise your disclosure to explain
how the sporting
         event cancellations and the continued spread of the virus have
materially impacted, or
         may materially impact, your financial condition and results of
operations.

Summary Compensation Table, page 292

4.       Please update your Executive Compensation Disclosure to include
non-equity incentive
         plan bonus amounts for 2019. In this regard, we note that footnote 3
to your Summary
         Compensation Table states that "[t]he bonus earned by each Named
Executive Officer
         under [y]our annual bonus plan for 2019 is . . . expected to be
determined by March 13,
         2020."

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules, page II-1

5.       We note that you have filed a "form of" tax opinion of Winston &
Strawn LLP as an
         exhibit to your registration statement, and the footnotes to your
exhibit index indicate that
         this exhibit 8.1 was previously filed. Please amend your filing to
include an executed tax
         opinion, or tell us why you are not required to do so. See Item
601(b)(8) of Regulation S-

6.    We note that, in your letter dated February 13, 2020, in response to
comment 9 in our
      comment letter dated February 2, 2020, you stated that "DraftKings is
currently reviewing
      the Kambi agreement and believes that it contains confidentially
sensitive information, but
      will file a redacted copy of the agreement in a subsequent filing of the
proxy
      statement/prospectus, subject to first seeking confidential treatment for
certain
      competitively sensitive information contained in the agreement." It
appears that you did
      not file this exhibit with your amended proxy/registration statement.
Please amend your
      filing to include this exhibit, or tell us why you do not believe you are
required to do so,
      considering that you have undertaken to do so in a previous response
letter.
