​FanDuel Group is a leading American gambling company offering a diverse range of services, including sportsbook, daily fantasy sports, horse racing, and online casino platforms.

About

History and Growth

FanDuel was established by Nigel Eccles, Lesley Eccles, Tom Griffiths, Rob Jones, and Chris Stafford in 2009, evolving from a daily fantasy sports provider into a comprehensive sports betting platform. In May 2018, the company merged with the U.S. operations of Paddy Power Betfair (now Flutter Entertainment), positioning itself to capitalize on the expanding sports betting market following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). This strategic move allowed FanDuel to leverage its brand recognition and user base, becoming Flutter Entertainment’s primary U.S. brand. ​

Product Offerings

FanDuel’s platform caters to a wide audience with a comprehensive suite of gambling products:​

  • Sports Betting: Offering markets on a vast array of sports, including football, basketball, baseball, hockey, and more.​

  • Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS): Allowing users to create virtual teams and compete in daily or weekly contests for cash prizes.

  • Online Casino: Featuring a variety of games such as slots, blackjack, roulette, and live dealer options.​

  • Horse Racing: Providing advance-deposit wagering on horse racing events through platforms like TVG.​
