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. The performance of these teams is determined by the actual statistics of the players in real 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, appealing to sports fans who prefer shorter-term engagement. The company's goal is to provide an engaging and competitive environment for sports enthusiasts in the United States, while also looking to expand its offerings.
