Fanduel

About Fanduel

Fanduel was first introduced to the industry in 2009 by 5 co-founders. The primary focus was to change the perception of fantasy sports where people can earn real money with fewer efforts and pure luck. The bookie features several industry awards.

When it comes to the actual services of a bookie, Fantasy Sports, SportsBook, Horse Racing, and Casino tables and slots are there.

Fanduel app VS site

Comparing the mobile version of the website and interface of mobile apps, they are pretty the same and perfectly adjusted per one’s screen size. Everything is reserved in dark blue and white colours, with comfortable navigations. You can easily place bets, watch live racing streams, and claim bonuses.

Support

Fanduel has a separate page for contacting their representatives called Support. There you can find a FAQs page with information on withdrawals, deposits, your account settings, Responsible Gaming Policy, among others. Otherwise, you can contact representatives via Expert Chat.

There is no available information on their working hours. Yet, if you want your inquiries addressed promptly, stick to the Live Chat option.

Final Verdict

In case you are resident in India and want to try out their casinos, Fantasy Sports, and Live Racing streams, you will need a VPN with American servers only. The functionality of both their desktop website and apps are intuitive and convenient. You can place bets on different sports or proceed with the top Internet slots, which may greet you with ongoing jackpots. Payment methods are reserved for credit cards, e-wallets, as well as direct banking transfers. 

All in all, Fanduel should be considered as a reliable and legitimate bookie; however, Indian bettors, if possible, should look for other websites that will provide a much more comfortable user experience with the possibility of using Indian Rupees.

I’ve loved watching sporting events with the whole family since I was a kid, I’m a particular cricket fanatic and I even played as a student myself, so I know all the ins and outs of sporting events very well.
