Crown Gaming Inc. — Company Profile
Company overview. Crown Gaming Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered with its parent at 222 Berkeley Street, 5th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts. It is a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of publicly traded DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG), held through DraftKings Holdings Inc. and DK Crown Holdings Inc. per DraftKings' SEC subsidiary lists and Massachusetts Gaming Commission filings. Crown Gaming does not report standalone financials; its officers and directors are DraftKings executives (e.g., President Paul Liberman, Treasurer/Director Jason Park, Secretary Stanton Dodge).
Products / services / operations. Crown Gaming is not a consumer-facing brand; it operates under the "DraftKings" trade name as the group's holding and licensing entity. It holds New Jersey gaming licenses on DraftKings' behalf, is the entity qualifier and parent of state-specific subsidiaries (Crown NJ Gaming, Crown PA Gaming, Crown MA Gaming, and dozens of other "Crown State Specific Entities"), and enters commercial agreements for those subsidiaries — e.g., a 2018 live-casino agreement with Evolution Malta for DraftKings Casino. Through this network it supports DraftKings' daily fantasy sports, online sportsbook, and iGaming operations across regulated U.S. states.
Patent-litigation posture. Crown Gaming is an operating-company affiliate that appears purely as a defendant: 1 tracked case, 0 as plaintiff. The sole matter is AG 18, LLC d/b/a Arrow Gaming v. DraftKings Inc. et al. (D.N.J., filed Aug. 19, 2021), where Arrow Gaming added Crown Gaming as a co-defendant via amended complaint. The case was brought in New Jersey, not a plaintiff-friendly venue like E.D. Tex.
Notable case context. Arrow Gaming, a patent-assertion plaintiff, alleged infringement of five patents covering peer-to-peer gaming and location-based restrictions on networked gaming by DraftKings' DFS and casino offerings. The DraftKings entities answered with invalidity counterclaims and filed inter partes reviews; the PTAB found the asserted claims unpatentable (2024), the Federal Circuit affirmed, and Arrow Gaming moved for voluntary dismissal with prejudice in April 2026. DraftKings' filings describe the suit as one of several patent cases against the group, but this is the only tracked case naming Crown Gaming.
