About the Company

FanDuel

Runs sports betting and online casino apps

FanDuel runs sports betting, online casino, and daily fantasy sports apps for adults in US states and Canadian provinces where gambling is legal. Two months after the Supreme Court let states legalize sports betting in 2018, the fantasy sports company opened its first sportsbook at New Jersey's Meadowlands Racetrack. Customers bet on games in the FanDuel Sportsbook app, play slots and table games on FanDuel Casino, wager on horse races through FanDuel Racing, and trade yes-or-no event contracts on FanDuel Predicts. FanDuel keeps the difference between what players stake and what they win. Founded in 2009 and based in New York City, it is owned by Flutter Entertainment, the parent of Paddy Power and PokerStars.
