FanDuel’s performance
Fanduel is one of the two leading sportsbooks in the US. Unlike competitors like DraftKings, FanDuel has the advantage of being part of a larger, well-established company. This lets the company focus on long-term growth instead of just short-term profits. With strong financial backing, FanDuel has been profitable for a while and reinvests in key areas like customer acquisition and technology.
FanDuel’s success is due to better MLB betting options and a shift of players from fantasy sports to casino games, leading to more active users.
