We’re close to a day many D.C. sports bettors have been waiting for: The transition away from Gambet D.C. to FanDuel.
Since its inception, sports bettors to D.C. councilmembers have expressed frustration at Gambet D.C., the lottery’s lone online sports betting option in the District.
A month ago, there was a surprise announcement the lottery would partner with FanDuel, one of the most popular sports betting apps in America. Now, we’re getting more information about the transition.
According to the Gambet D.C. app, the platform will sunset on Monday with FanDuel getting up and running.
According to the lottery, starting Monday, D.C. residents with Gambet will no longer be able to place a wager on that app. Instead, they’re encouraged to use FanDuel if they have it, or sign up if they don’t.
