FanDuel operates a fantasy sports platform where users can join daily and weekly contests to win cash prizes. Participants create fantasy teams by selecting real players from various sports, including football, basketball, and baseball, and their teams earn points based on the actual performance of these players in games. FanDuel generates revenue through entry fees for these contests and enhances the user experience with features like live scoring updates and player news. Unlike some competitors, FanDuel focuses on the daily and weekly contest format rather than season-long leagues, catering specifically to sports fans looking for quick and engaging gameplay. The company's goal is to provide an exciting and interactive way for sports enthusiasts to engage with their favorite sports while offering opportunities to win cash prizes.
