Online Sportsbook Fanduel Wins Title of Year for Third Consecutive Time
FanDuel Wins Online Sportsbook of the Year for Third Consecutive Year
FanDuel, the leading online sportsbook in the United States, has once again been crowned the Online Sportsbook of the Year at the American Gambling Awards. This marks the third consecutive year that FanDuel has taken home the prestigious award.
The American Gambling Awards, produced by The Gambling.com Group, recognise excellence across the gambling and sports betting industry. This year, the awards featured multiple categories, including Casino Operator of the Year, Payment Solution of the Year, and Industry Innovation of the Year, among others. A panel of 20 judges selected this year's winners.
FanDuel's success can be attributed to several factors. The sportsbook's partnerships with the NFL and NBA have driven significant growth. A promotional collaboration with the NFL and YouTube TV resulted in a 37% year-over-year increase in new customers. FanDuel also continues to elevate the betting experience as an official sportsbook partner of the WNBA.
One of the key factors in FanDuel's success is its innovative features. The Pulse, introduced this year, follows sports storylines and presents betting opportunities in a narrative-driven format. This integration with FanDuel's Same Game Parlay product has resulted in a 15% increase in live same-game parlays.
Charles Gillespie, Gambling.com Group co-founder and CEO, congratulated FanDuel's leadership team, praising the company's ability to maintain its top position in the Online Sportsbook of the Year category. FanDuel's CEO, Amy Howe, was also named C-Suite Executive of the Year at the awards.
Karol Corcoran, general manager of FanDuel Sportsbook, expressed gratitude for the award. "We are honoured to be recognised once again as the Online Sportsbook of the Year," she said. "Our team works tirelessly to provide our customers with the best possible betting experience, and this award is a testament to their hard work."
