DraftKings doesn’t see evidence that there was a breach of its systems, the company said Monday in response to reports that several user accounts were hacked.
In a statement on Twitter, the online sportsbook acknowledged “irregular activity” with some of its user accounts and said less than $300,000 of customer funds were affected. But DraftKings believes the user login information was compromised on other sites that use the same login information.
DraftKings said it intends “to make whole any customer that was impacted” and encouraged customers to use unique passwords.
“We have seen no evidence that DraftKings’ systems were breached to obtain this information.”

Action Network’s Darren Rovell reported earlier Monday that several DraftKings users were locked out of their accounts by hackers who changed either the passwords associated with the accounts or the phone numbers used for two-factor authentication.
Withdrawal requests up to thousands of dollars were executed using the bank accounts users had attached to DraftKings.
Late Sunday night, DraftKings said it was aware of issues and asked customers having issues to contact the Customer Experience Team at support@draftkings.com.
