FanDuel

FanDuel is an American online gaming company that offers daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests and sports betting services. The company operates FanDuel DFS contests, a sportsbook, and online casino products across desktop and mobile platforms. It is owned by Flutter Entertainment, a UK-based gambling group that owns multiple brands in the United States and elsewhere.

FanDuel was founded in 2009 as a daily fantasy sports provider. It expanded into the U.S. market during the 2010s as state laws began to permit regulated DFS and online sports betting. In 2018, FanDuel Group was acquired by Flutter Entertainment, the owner of Paddy Power Betfair. Flutter later merged with The Stars Group in 2020 to form Flutter Entertainment, which continues to own FanDuel and guide its growth in the U.S. market.

Products and operations include DFS contests across major sports, with prizes funded by entry fees. The sportsbook platform offers cash bets on professional and, where allowed, college sports, subject to each state’s regulations. The online casino features slots, table games, and, in select jurisdictions, live dealer options. FanDuel emphasizes user experience through mobile apps and a streamlined, regulated gambling environment.

Regulation and market presence: FanDuel operates in U.S. states where online sports betting and DFS are legalized and regulated. Players must meet age requirements (typically 21+), be physically located in a regulated state, and adhere to responsible gambling measures. As a major brand in the U.S. sports betting landscape, FanDuel continues to expand within the boundaries of state gaming regulations.
