The Ever-Evolving World of Risk Operations at DraftKings

At DraftKings, our commitment to providing a secure and enjoyable experience for our customers is at the heart of everything we do. This dedication is especially evident within our Risk Operations team, where vigilance and adaptability are key to safeguarding our community. Adolfo, who has been a valued team member in Las Vegas for the past three years, points to three pillars that make our Risk Operations team a critical function at DraftKings.

The Importance of Vigilance in Risk Operations 

Risk Operations involves more than simply maintaining the status quo; they demand constant vigilance and adaptability in a constantly shifting environment. As the landscape of our industry evolves, our team remains committed to being proactive and prepared, ensuring the ongoing protection of both our customers and our platform.

Advancing Procedures and Technology 

One of the key aspects of Risk Operations is the constant need to update our procedures. Solutions that were effective a year ago might not meet today’s demands. Adolfo highlights that “risk is always changing,” and adapting our procedures is crucial. This dynamic landscape means our team must remain both collaborative and focused, continuously working through various challenges to stay ahead of potential risks.

At DraftKings, we leverage advanced technology to strengthen our Risk Operations. By integrating new tools and technologies, we continuously enhance our protective measures and maintain the highest standards of security. This proactive approach is essential for safeguarding both our company and our customers.

A Culture of Collaboration and Continuous Learning

Our culture is another critical factor in the success of our Risk Operations team. Adolfo describes it as “very welcoming,” with everyone open to making new connections. This collaborative environment fosters a sense of unity and shared purpose. “We all thrive together, and I think that's what's really great about DraftKings,” Adolfo shares.

Continuous learning is also a cornerstone of our approach to Risk Operations. Adolfo is committed to being as proactive as possible in his career within the team, continually seeking ways to improve security for the company and our customers. “It's our responsibility to provide the best protection for our customers,” he says, underscoring the importance of his work in ensuring that our players have the best possible gaming experience.

The Risk Operations team at DraftKings excels through vigilance, innovation, and collaboration. By continually updating procedures and integrating advanced technology, we maintain top-notch security for our customers and platform. Our approach and focus on continuously evolving ensure we stay ahead of risks, delivering a secure and exceptional gaming experience.
