FanDuel Launches Online Sportsbook, App In Pennsylvania

FanDuel has officially become the fourth internet sportsbook to open in Pennsylvania, a move that is "likely to shake up" the state's online sports betting market, according to Andrew Maykuth of the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER. FanDuel had a "soft launch last week after three days of testing under the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, but announced its official start" yesterday. The FanDuel Sportsbook is "operated in partnership with Boyd Gaming and Valley Forge Casino Resort, but the FanDuel name is more prominent online than the casino’s name." That "sets it apart from its Pennsylvania competitors." The FanDuel Sportsbook app -- the same one used in New Jersey -- is "available on the Apple mobile platform for iPhones and iPads, which has been an obstacle for other new online sports betting operators" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 7/30).
