OLG did not specify when the change from GambetDC to FanDuel would be made, nor did it address what will happen to existing GambetDC accounts. The office’s press representatives did not immediately respond to questions.

“FanDuel’s industry-leading offering will ensure that the District maximizes tax revenue under its existing contracts this year while delivering a best-in-class experience,” OLG Executive Director Frank Suarez said in a statement.
