FanDuel’s Washington D.C. debut is less than a week away as the operator gears up to launch in a new market.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fantasy and sports betting heavyweight FanDuel has announced it will go live in Washington D.C. on April 15.<\/p>\n

As part of its takeover of GamebetDC, the operator is launching its online sports betting offering after the district’s Office of Lottery and Gaming (OLG) confirmed FanDuel as a subcontractor of Intralot last month.<\/p>\n

Intralot has powered GamebetDC since 2019. Holding exclusive online sports betting rights in D.C., Gamebet DC has been criticised for poor performance and bad odds.<\/p>\n

As a result, FanDuel has been brought in by the OLG to replace GaembetDC.<\/p>\n

FanDuel will operate in Washington D.C. under its closed market. This restricts the use of non-exclusive sportsbooks beyond a two-block radius of the district’s professional sports venues.<\/p>\n

These facilities include the Capital One Arena, Audi Field and Nationals Park. FanDuel’s takeover also includes all of GamebetDC’s retail operations.<\/p>\n

The switch in service provider from GamebetDC to FanDuel is hoped to create new economic opportunities in Washington D.C.<\/p>\n

In FY2024, Intralot will pay the OLG $5 million. GamebetDC has added just $4.3m to D.C.’s economy since 2020, despite estimates projecting the figure would be $84m.<\/p>\n

Lawmaker Hopes To Five FanDuel Competition In Washington D.C.<\/h2>\n

Council member Kenyan McDuffie announced last month a plan to introduce the Sports Wagering Amendment Act of 2024.<\/p>\n

This bill would create an open betting market in D.C. and ensure competition. McDuffie’s proposed amendments to D.C.’s lottery would include a new class of wagering license for online operators.<\/p>\n

These measures would grant Class C licenses in partnership with pro sports teams. If given such a license, operators would be required to pay $2m for a five-year term, with a $1m renewal fee.<\/p>\n

Tax rates for sports betting revenue would also be set at 30% for operators.<\/p>\n
