Starting today, the FanDuel Sportsbook app and the FanDuel Casino app are now available in Ontario, Canada. FanDuel's debut in Ontario comes on the heels of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) launching its highly-anticipated regulated market for single-game sports betting on April 4.
The FanDuel Sportsbook is now available for download via iOS and Android for sports fans located anywhere inside Ontario's border. The market-leading FanDuel Sportsbook is powered by IGT's PlaySports platform and offers fans elevated betting features including Same Game Parlay™ bets (SGP), Odds Boosts, Data Visuals, and Streaming options, to augment Canadians' engagement with the sports they love. FanDuel provides its proprietary risk and trading technology to offer bets on professional hockey, curling, football, basketball, baseball, golf, MMA, boxing, soccer, and tennis. The FanDuel Sportsbook app in Ontario is simple, secure, and convenient, with a number of key features, including:
- New Way to Parlay: FanDuel introduces Same Game Parlay™ bets, which is the ability to build a parlay utilizing betting markets from the same game.
- Lightning Fast Payouts: The FanDuel Sportsbook offers safe and secure banking options and the ability to pay out winnings within two hours. Payment processing partner Nuvei will provide customers with multiple payment options, including Interac, PayPal, MasterCard and Visa.
- Customer Focused: FanDuel Sportsbook offers 24/7 customer service.
- Sports Betting 101: FanDuel Sportsbook has an online betting guide to help customers learn the ins and outs of legal sports betting.
FanDuel's Player Account Management System in Ontario is powered by GAN and is the backbone of the FanDuel Sportsbook. GAN's account and wallet technology connects FanDuel's sportsbook and casino, so customers can use sportsbook and casino winnings interchangeably.
The FanDuel Casino will make its debut on iOS and Android and desktop. Players can enjoy over 250 games across live dealers, live game shows, slots and a multitude of recognizable table games like blackjack and roulette. The casino experience will be powered by leading game providers including Everi Holdings, Evolution, High 5 Games, IGT PlayDigital, and PlayAGS. Following launch, FanDuel has plans to actively expand its game portfolio across all casino verticals in Ontario to ensure top content is consistently available to players.
As an industry leader, FanDuel believes it is critical to lead from the front on responsible gambling (RG) and safer play. In keeping with FanDuel Group's reputation in North America for responsible gaming, safer play will be at the forefront of FanDuel's entry into Canada. FanDuel encourages customers to enable responsible gaming tools to manage their online wagering. These tools are available in our apps with a quick touch of the "RG" button at the top of the screen.
