Though the online FanDuel Sportsbook has been live in West Virginia since 2019, FanDuel has debuted its new global sportsbook solution developed in partnership with Scientific Games, utilizing the OpenBet betting engine from the Scientific Games’ OpenSports platform.
Going live with FanDuel in West Virginia marks the next chapter of Scientific Games’ long-standing sports betting partnership, which stretches over 20 years, with Flutter Entertainment, which owns 95% of FanDuel.
Alongside FanDuel, OpenBet is a key component powering Flutter Entertainment’s global sports betting platform for brands like Betfair, Sky Bet and Paddy Power in Europe and Sportsbet in Australia.
“Our next generation sportsbook technology offers customers an unrivaled betting experience and will cement FanDuel’s place as America’s number-one sportsbook,” said Matt King, CEO of FanDuel Group.
Jordan Levin, Group CEO, Digital at Scientific Games, said, “Going live with FanDuel’s new sportsbook is a truly landmark moment in our history of servicing Flutter Entertainment brands. Utilizing OpenSports technology is a game changer for FanDuel and will introduce a new way of betting for its customers.”
