Just last week, the companies reached a settlement over lawsuits in New York that alleged their advertisements intentionally misled consumers. Each company had to pay $6 million in penalties and costs.
DraftKings declined to confirm if there are merger talks happening, and if a deal is soon to come.
“As we have stated previously, a potential combination would be interesting to consider. However, as a matter of policy, we don’t comment on rumors or speculation, and there can be no assurances at this time that any discussion about a combination would result in an agreement or merger," DraftKings said in a statement posted to its website.
ESPNreported that the deal could be imminent. But final details have yet to be hashed out, including what the name of the company will be, what the exact leadership structure is and where the company's headquarters will be located.

As part of the merger, the companies reportedly will look to raise more venture capital.
There's also a question of whether the deal could go through given the companies' dominating share of the market. If combined, DraftKing and FanDuel would reportedly control more than 90 percent of the daily fantasy market.
