FanDuels Year in Review highlights users:

FanDuels Director of PublicityKevin Hennessy commented to PlayPennsylvania:

We like to give our customers a snapshot of their betting history. Previously, we have done a season in review for a customers NFL season or their College Football Season, but this is the first time we have done a year in review.

Since its time to review, we turn the focus to FanDuel.

FanDuels sportsbook app arrived in Pennsylvania when online sports betting was still in its infancy. PlaySugarHouse, Parx and BetRivers were the first three to market, all rolling out between May 2019 June 25, 2019. FanDuel, through its partnership with Valley Forge Casino, launched at the end of July 2019.

The DFS turned sports betting operator already was the top-performing sportsbook in New Jersey. Would they find similar, or greater success across state lines?

Sixteen months later, there are a lot more players in the online sportsbook game in Pennsylvania. With the recent additions of Barstool sporstbook and BetMGM there are now 11 sportsbook apps. But through massive growth, a pandemic that decimated sports betting menus, big promotional pushes from competitors, a bombastic personality and his army of followers joining the fray, and the return of major sports, FanDuel has kept the No. 1 spot in Pennsylvania.

Since August 2019, they have led all operators in handle each month and were tops for revenue all but one month (Jan 2020).

In September, Hennessy noted that Week 1 of the NFL season was their biggest weekend for new sportsbook customer registrations.

In November, FanDuel online sportsbook remained the leader in PA, taking $176.7 million, or 36.6% of the states wagers. They also broke record for revenue for a PA online sportsbook in October ($14.7 million) and again in November ($15 million).

Hennessy said:

Pennsylvania is an exciting state for us. In 2020, we were the clear online leader and we expanded our retail footprint with a new FanDuel Sportsbook at Live! Casino in the Pittsburgh area. We are looking forward to a great 2021 and another retail location opening at Live! Casino in the Philadelphia area.
