29 September 2023

FanDuel, a leading online gaming company in North America, has expanded its services to Kentucky, offering mobile sports betting to sports enthusiasts in the state. The FanDuel Sportsbook app is now available for download on iOS and Android devices, as well as for desktop use.

Kentucky residents can access a wide range of betting offerings on sports such as NFL, college football, NBA, college basketball, MLB, MMA, golf, boxing, soccer, hockey, and more through FanDuel's platform. New customers who sign up and wager $5 will receive $200 in Bonus Bets, and special offers on local sports teams will be available.

FanDuel is the first and only U.S. sportsbook that allows customers to access both parimutuel wagering on horse racing and traditional sportsbook wagering using a single account and wallet. This means that Kentucky residents can bet on their favorite local sports, including horse racing and college basketball, through the same account.

Christian Genetski, President of FanDuel, expressed excitement about serving sports fans in Kentucky, stating, "We can't wait to bring sports fans across the Bluegrass State even closer to their favorite leagues and teams with our leading Sportsbook product and offerings." He also highlighted FanDuel's dedication to horse racing and its partnerships with institutions like Churchill Downs.

FanDuel's Sportsbook app offers several key features, including:

  1. Single Account Sports and Horse Racing Betting: Customers can access both parimutuel wagering on horse racing and traditional sportsbook wagering with a single account.
  2. Innovative Betting Options: FanDuel introduced innovations like Same Game Parlay bets, live streaming of sporting events inside the app, early payouts for championship teams, and the Spread the Love promotion.
  3. Customer-Focused Services: FanDuel provides secure banking, fast payouts, a Cash-Out early feature, 24/7 customer service, and responsible gaming tools.
  4. Same Game Parlay: Allows customers to bet on multiple aspects of a single game.
  5. Sports Betting 101: Offers an online betting guide to help customers learn about legal sports betting.

FanDuel has also introduced its "Explore" feature, which simplifies the betting experience by presenting users with narrative-driven question format bets and provides educational tutorials, popular bets, parlay builders, and more.

Kentucky becomes the 20th state where FanDuel offers mobile sports betting, joining a list that includes Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
