FanDuel announced today that its sports betting app in Illinois is live. Players in the state can now access the FanDuel Par-A-Dice Sportsbook app and online site, with best-in-class services on offer. The brand is able to offer such services in the state after partnering with Boyd Gaming and being approved for licensing.

New Sports Betting Experience

With the FanDuel Par-A-Dice sports betting offering, players can access wagering options across several betting markets including baseball, football, MMA, tennis, basketball, soccer and more. Players can download the app on Android and iOS device.

In a recent press release, CMO of FanDuel Group, Mike Raffensperger, commented that the company has been waiting for quite some time to launch. Raffensperger said: “Sports are back, so we are going to show sports fans in Illinois an innovative sports betting app experience with industry leading promotions and consumer protections that have made FanDuel the #1 sportsbook in the U.S.”

Quality Features 

There are several features added to the app that provide convenience to players, one being the Account and Wallet Technology. The Group developed its own in-house option that is used via Par-A-Dice. Players of the sportsbook are connected to the fantasy sports app as well, making it easy to move funds as needed.

FanDuel is innovative with its sports betting services, offering live streaming of sporting events in the app. They also were the first to provide Same Game Parlays, a feature that allows for building a parlay by using betting markets of the same game.

Another interesting aspect of the company in Illinois is they offer Hometown Heroes. The hometown teams will have generous odds, which provides new players more ways to win.
