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 a wide range of sports and contests, primarily targeting the U.S. market, while it currently does not offer contests in the UK. The company's goal is to provide an engaging platform for sports enthusiasts to enjoy fantasy sports and compete for cash prizes.
