FanDuel’s Leading Sportsbook App launched in Louisiana
LONDON, – JANUARY 28, 2022 – FanDuel, part of Flutter Entertainment plc, and Boyd Gaming today launch America's #1 Sportsbook in the state of Louisiana. Following the recent opening of five retail FanDuel Sportsbook locations at Boyd Gaming properties across the state, sports fans in Louisiana can now place bets on the FanDuel Sportsbook.
Offered under Treasure Chest’s sports-betting license, FanDuel Sportsbook is bringing its best-in-class online sports betting experience to the passionate sports fans of Louisiana, who will now be able to place wagers in 55 parishes across the state on professional and college football, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, MMA, boxing, soccer, and tennis with a variety of betting and payment options available. The FanDuel Sportsbook app is simple, secure, and convenient with a number of key features, including:
- New Way to Parlay: FanDuel is the only U.S. sportsbook with Same Game Parlay Plus, where players can combine Same Game ParlayTM bets from one game with bets from other games.
- An Innovative Spirit: FanDuel was the first U.S. sportsbook to offer Same Game ParlayTM bets, the first to offer live streaming of sporting events inside a betting app, the first to offer Bad Beat Relief, the first to offer early payouts for championship teams, and the first to offer its crowdsourced Spread the Love promotion.
- Absurdly Customer Focused: FanDuel Sportsbook offers safe and secure banking, lightning-fast payouts, a Cash-Out early feature, and 24/7 customer service.
- Sports Betting 101: FanDuel Sportsbook has an online betting guide to help customers learn the ins and outs of legal sports betting.
The FanDuel Sportsbook app is available for both iOS and Android.
Louisiana sports fans looking for a great new place to watch their favorite teams can also enjoy five new FanDuel Sportsbook retail experiences at Boyd Gaming properties across the state: Delta Downs in Vinton; Evangeline Downs in Opelousas; Treasure Chest in Kenner, near New Orleans; Sam’s Town in Shreveport; and Amelia Belle in Amelia. In addition to live betting windows, each book will offer convenient self-service betting kiosks, pending regulatory approval.
FanDuel and Boyd Gaming are industry leaders in promoting responsible play. Both companies provide their on-site staff with responsible wagering training and support services. FanDuel offers online customers in-app tools that allow customers to set time, deposit, and wager limits, as well as its PlaySafe site, where customers can find additional support services.
