DraftKings will go public next year through a $3.3 billion merger with two other firms, the company announced Monday.

The move comes more than two years after the online sports gaming company scrapped plans to merge with FanDuel, another major player in the daily fantasy sports market.

DraftKings will combine with Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp., a blank-check company that is already publicly traded, and gaming technology firm SBTech to create the nation’s only vertically integrated “pure-play” sports betting and online gaming firm, according to a press release.

“With the full integration of SBTech’s technology and innovative product expertise coupled with the right capitalization, DraftKings will be in a great position to continue its ambitious expansion plans in the United States,” Harry E. Sloan, Diamond Eagle’s founding investor, said in a statement.

All three companies’ boards of directors have approved the tie-up, which is expected to be completed in the first half of next year. DraftKings co-founders Jason Robins, Paul Liberman and Matt Kalish will be on the new company’s management team, along with members of SBTech’s existing management, the firms said.

Diamond Eagle plans to change its name to DraftKings and get a new Nasdaq ticker symbol once the deal closes, the companies said. Diamond Eagle shares were up about 11 percent in premarket trading at $11.75 as of 9:15 a.m.

DraftKings said it has a 60 percent market share for daily fantasy sports, in which fans compete online for cash prizes. The company also offers online and retail sports betting in seven states including New Jersey, where it said its revenue has multiplied 8.5 times year over year.

The DraftKings-SBTech merger will unite “two tech-native companies with the customer at their cores,” SBTech chairman Gavin Isaacs said. His company provides technology and services to some of the world’s leading sports betting and online gaming brands, according to the press release.

“The combination of DraftKings’ leading and trusted brand, deep focus on customer experience and data science expertise and SBTech’s highly innovative and proven technology platform creates a vertically-integrated powerhouse,” said Robins, who is DraftKings’s CEO and will lead the new company as chief executive.

DraftKings and FanDuel called off plans to merge in July 2017 after the Federal Trade Commission sued to stop the deal. The two companies controlled 90 percent of the paid daily fantasy sports market, the FTC said at the time.
