FanDuel Launches Its Mobile Sportsbook in Missouri with Community Investments

FanDuel Launches Mobile Sportsbook in Missouri

In a significant move for the legal sports betting landscape in the United States, FanDuel has officially launched its mobile sportsbook in Missouri, marking the state as the 25th location where the platform is available. This launch comes as Missouri's newly regulated sports betting market opens up to fans across the state.

Starting today, sports enthusiasts aged 21 and above in Missouri can download the FanDuel Sportsbook app. The app promises a secure and user-friendly platform for engaging with their favorite sports teams and athletes. To further entice new users, FanDuel is offering a generous promotion: anyone placing a first wager of at least $5 will receive $300 in Bonus Bets. These bonus funds can be utilized across a multitude of sports, including but not limited to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and more.

Commitment to the Community

Beyond just a launch, FanDuel is deeply committed to the Missouri community. Prior to its entry into the market, the company announced a substantial donation of $300,000 to the nonprofit organization Guns 'N Hoses. This St. Louis-based charity supports The BackStoppers, which provides critical financial assistance to families of first responders who have been killed or severely injured in the line of duty. This announcement was made during a press conference held in St. Louis, where FanDuel's Government Relations Director, Jay Atkins, emphasized the company’s commitment to supporting the community and honoring first responders.

In Kansas City, FanDuel will extend its philanthropic outreach with another $300,000 contribution to the Veterans Community Project. This organization is dedicated to addressing veteran homelessness with transitional housing and comprehensive support services. As part of the Missouri launch week, FanDuel employees will volunteer with Veterans Community Project, reinforcing the company's pledge to contribute positively to local communities.

Exciting Features and User Experience

FanDuel’s Managing Director of Sportsbook, Karol Corcoran, expressed excitement about the company's expansion into Missouri, stating, "Introducing FanDuel to sports fans in Missouri is a huge moment for our business." He highlighted that fans across the state can look forward to a premier sports betting experience, not only through their innovative sportsbook offering but also through various engaging promotions. One such promotion is the Missouri Super Boost, where fans can win up to $50 if a single point is scored during Monday Night Football.

The FanDuel Sportsbook app is designed with a focus on customer satisfaction and security. It offers safe banking options, quick payout processes, and a 'Cash-Out Early' feature, alongside round-the-clock customer support. Additionally, FanDuel is known for its innovative approaches, being the first U.S. sportsbook to introduce Same Game Parlay bets and live streaming of events within their app.

For first-time users, FanDuel provides a comprehensive online betting guide, ensuring that both newcomers and seasoned bettors can navigate the ins and outs of sports betting with ease. Moreover, the company prides itself on its commitment to responsible gaming, offering various tools within the app for users to monitor their spending, set limits, and ensure a healthy gaming experience.

A Leader in the Industry

As the premier mobile gaming company in North America, FanDuel holds a strong position in the online betting industry, with a robust array of offerings, including daily fantasy sports and online casino gaming. The company is a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment, the largest global operator in sports betting, and serves approximately 17 million customers through its extensive network.

Missouri's legalization of sports betting opens the door for FanDuel to not only expand its market but also strengthen its community ties through strategic partnerships and commitments. With this launch, sports fans in Missouri can look forward to an exciting and socially responsible betting experience like no other.
