FanDuel Named Online Sportsbook Of The Year Third Time In A Row

FanDuel has been voted the American Gambling Awards Online Sportsbook of the Year for the third straight year. This is the New York-based company’s second American Gambling Awards win this year, including CEO Amy Howe’s selection as C-Suite Executive of the Year.

The Gambling.com Group, producer of the American Gambling Awards, will host the winners, judges and other invited guests at an exclusive VIP dinner at Torrisi, an acclaimed Michelin Star (2023) restaurant in New York City on Nov. 21. 

FanDuel’s NFL, NBA Partnerships Drive Growth

In line with its commitment to enhance the customer experience, this year FanDuel introduced The Pulse, which follows the biggest storylines in sports and presents betting opportunities in a narrative-driven format.

This feature provides customers with a streamlined path to discover real-time game developments, enabling fans to place wagers on specific moments. By integrating this feature with its Same Game Parlay product, FanDuel has seen a 15% increase in live same-game parlays.

In addition, FanDuel’s strategic partnerships with the NFL and NBA have driven significant growth. To kick off the 2023 NFL season, a promotional collaboration with the NFL and YouTube TV provided fans who bet $5 a discount on NFL Sunday Ticket, resulting in a 37% year-over-year increase in new customers.

This contributed to FanDuel achieving its best start to the NFL season ever in 2023, with year-over-year total handle more than doubling and total bet count increasing by 163.4%. As an official sportsbook partner of the WNBA, FanDuel continues to elevate the betting experience, consistently “making every moment more” for its customers.

‘Remarkable Third Consecutive Win’

Karol Corcoran, general manager of FanDuel Sportsbook, said the company is honored to be named the Online Sportsbook of the Year for the third straight year.

“We remain focused on offering our customers the best sports betting experience and look forward continuing to enhance how fans interact with their favorite teams and athletes,” Corcoran said.

Charles Gillespie, Gambling.com Group co-founder and chief executive officer, congratulated Howe and the FanDuel leadership team for “their remarkable third consecutive win as Online Sportsbook of the Year at the American Gambling Awards.”

“FanDuel’s ability to maintain its top position in such a competitive category speaks volumes about their ability to consistently execute, innovate and enhance their customer experience,” Gillespie said. “Features like The Pulse have transformed how fans engage with sports betting, and their strategic partnerships with the NFL and NBA have driven impressive growth. FanDuel’s leadership in customer engagement and product development continues to set the standard for the industry.”
