The short answer

  • The current Atlas review contains 15 licensed FanDuel relationships across US jurisdictions and Ontario.
  • Six relationships support sportsbook and online casino; Michigan and Pennsylvania also support poker, while Arizona and Louisiana separately preserve fantasy evidence.
  • Sportsbook, online casino, poker and fantasy permissions are separate and must be checked product by product.
  • The legal entity or market-access partner can change by state even when the brand remains the same.
  • Eight high-interest markets were rechecked on 21-24 August 2026, and the downloadable CSV preserves each market, product, authority, source and verification date.

The product column is deliberately narrow: sportsbook presence does not establish casino, poker or fantasy permission.

Why FanDuel does not have one US-wide licence

US gambling permission is issued primarily by states. Each jurisdiction determines the products, company or market-access partner and public record that proves current operation.

The Atlas contains 15 licensed FanDuel relationships. That is a set of local records, not a national permission or a promise that every product is available in every market.

Evidence path

From question to defensible conclusion

Sportsbook and online casino states are not the same list

Michigan and Pennsylvania poker, Arizona and Louisiana fantasy

The entity behind FanDuel can change

Each step must preserve the jurisdiction, product, entity, source and review date.

Sportsbook and online casino states are not the same list

Ontario, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia and Connecticut support sportsbook and online-casino evidence. Other reviewed states support sportsbook only, while Arizona and Louisiana also preserve separate fantasy permissions.

A query asking whether FanDuel is legal in a state needs a product. Sportsbook permission cannot become proof of online casino or poker.

Michigan and Pennsylvania poker, Arizona and Louisiana fantasy

Michigan's current authorised-provider record and Pennsylvania's separate product directories support sportsbook, internet casino and poker within the FanDuel relationships. Atlas now exposes poker in the matrix instead of hiding that product inside a generic casino label; no other reviewed FanDuel row is extended to poker without equivalent evidence.

Arizona's regulator separately lists FanDuel under event wagering and fantasy sports. Louisiana likewise publishes sportsbook and fantasy identifiers separately. Keeping those product routes visible prevents a sportsbook approval from being reused as unsupported fantasy or casino evidence.

The entity behind FanDuel can change

Regulator records can name Betfair Interactive US LLC, FanDuel Canada ULC, a permit holder or market-access partner. The consumer brand is only one layer of the evidence chain.

Virginia publishes Betfair Interactive US LLC doing business as FanDuel, while Louisiana separates sportsbook and fantasy identifiers. Preserve the local entity instead of assigning one company across every state.

How the state evidence is verified

Atlas uses regulator operator lists, licensing directories and operating or revenue reports. A formal approval can differ from a current launch, so the source type remains part of the status.

The strongest conclusion matches brand, entity or partner, product, current operating evidence and date. Operator availability pages can aid discovery but do not replace the regulator record.

What the August source refresh confirms

Connecticut identifies FanDuel through Mohegan Sun as one of three licensed sports-wagering platforms and one of two authorised online-casino platforms. Massachusetts lists FanDuel as a Category 3 untethered sports-wagering licensee, while current Ohio, Virginia and Maryland records continue to support sportsbook-only rows.

These source formats are not equivalent: a licensing roster, operator page and monthly operating report answer related but different questions. The downloadable evidence retains source type and date so readers can assess that strength rather than relying on the same licensed label alone.

Evidence summary

9

named primary sources

Last editorial review: 2026-08-29. Review target: every 30 days.

The current Atlas review contains 15 licensed FanDuel relationships across US jurisdictions and Ontario.

Six relationships support sportsbook and online casino; Michigan and Pennsylvania also support poker, while Arizona and Louisiana separately preserve fantasy evidence.

Sportsbook, online casino, poker and fantasy permissions are separate and must be checked product by product.

The visual summary does not replace the linked regulator records below.

Ontario is a separate provincial record

Ontario appears because FanDuel participates in the province’s regulated market. The iGaming Ontario directory identifies approved operators and gaming sites, while AGCO registration and an iGO agreement are separate framework elements.

The Ontario record is not a Canada-wide licence. Other provinces use different models and require separate research.

A five-step FanDuel state check

Start with the exact state or province and product. Open the authority’s current record and match FanDuel to the entity, platform or market-access partner shown.

  • Name the state and product before searching.
  • Use the current operator or operating record.
  • Match brand, entity and local partner.
  • Separate sportsbook, casino and fantasy permissions.
  • Record source type and verification date.

What the downloadable evidence contains

The CSV contains market, status, products, regulator, evidence type, official source URL and last-verification date for every FanDuel relation in the current dataset.

It is designed for audit and comparison. When a later official record conflicts with the export, the live regulator source controls.

What this guide does not claim

A licensed relationship does not guarantee account acceptance, geolocation success, a promotion or every product. Age, location, identity and operator rules still apply.

The guide does not claim to list every fantasy registration, retail venue or historical approval. It describes the current Atlas evidence universe and limitations.

Frequently asked questions about FanDuel states

Is FanDuel licensed nationally? No. Permissions are local. Does sportsbook approval include online casino? No. Why does a regulator show Betfair Interactive US LLC? That entity is used in several state records, but the exact entity and partner must be checked locally.

How often does the list change? State rosters change after launches, withdrawals and partnership changes. Atlas assigns a 30-day review cadence.
