Late Stat Changes
- We use live scoring information from trusted third-party stat providers to provide our players with the most exciting Fantasy Sports experience.
- Once all games in a contest are over, our live stats are reconciled with the official stats provided by the respective leagues, and DraftKings player scores are finalized.
Per our terms and conditions, contest results and prize calculations are based on the final statistics and scoring results after the last game of each contest.
However, there are some rare occasions when the league revises the final stats after their initial release. In these cases, player scores and settlements on DraftKings stay the same, and it is advised to check official league box scores for comparison.
Live Scoring Delays
Additionally, per DraftKings Fantasy Sports contest rules, live scoring updates are strictly for the enjoyment of DraftKings customers. DraftKings’ official scoring validation process begins once all games within the contest are final.
This process ensures that DraftKings scoring matches official stat providers when contest results are finalized and paid out. Once contests are finalized, the status will update to completed and move to the completed games section on the My Contests page. The official scoring validation process is solely to ensure that DraftKings contest results are determined based on official scoring. Delays during this process may occur due to data collection or other technical difficulties. DraftKings will not attempt to make judgments on scoring rulings.
Important Note: There is a difference between player scoring revisions from the league and scoring/settlement revisions due to technical errors. If a technical issue affects the league's data feed or settlement process, contest scores, winners, and payments may be revised.
Please feel free to reach out to our DraftKings Customer Support Team with any questions about possible stat discrepancies.
