FanDuel licensed states: sportsbook, casino, poker and fantasy
A 15-market FanDuel product matrix separating sportsbook, online casino, poker and fantasy evidence with dated state and Ontario sources.

Jump to a section
The short answer
- The Atlas ledger records 15 licensed FanDuel relationships across US jurisdictions and Ontario. Ohio's published licence list, updated 8 September 2026, was rechecked on 25 October; New Jersey's DGE directories were rechecked through complete indexed primary copies on 25 October 2026; direct retrieval remained blocked.
- Six relationships preserve sportsbook and online-casino evidence; Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey also preserve poker evidence. Arizona, Louisiana, Virginia, Massachusetts and Maryland have separate 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.
- Pennsylvania sportsbook, casino and poker evidence and Virginia and Louisiana sportsbook and separate fantasy evidence were rechecked on 24 October 2026. Massachusetts and Maryland retain their 24 October checks. Ontario retains its 9 October check; other rows keep their own dated evidence.
FanDuel 15-market product and evidence matrix
The product column is deliberately narrow: sportsbook presence does not establish casino, poker or fantasy permission.

This is an evidence ledger, not a geolocation or account-acceptance test. The licensed label records sportsbook licensing; each fantasy entry relies on its separate source and legal basis. Ohio sportsbook evidence was rechecked on 25 October 2026 against the list updated 8 September. Michigan’s authorised-provider directory was also rechecked on 25 October. Pennsylvania product scope and Virginia and Louisiana sportsbook and separate fantasy evidence were rechecked on 24 October 2026. Massachusetts and Maryland sportsbook and fantasy scope was rechecked on 24 October 2026. New Jersey's DGE directories were rechecked through complete indexed primary copies on 25 October 2026; direct retrieval remained blocked. Ontario was rechecked on 9 October. Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have separate poker evidence.
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 ledger contains 15 FanDuel relationships recorded as licensed, each with its own evidence date. The 25 October review rechecked Ohio against the OCCC licence list updated 8 September 2026; New Jersey's DGE directories were rechecked through complete indexed primary copies on 25 October 2026; direct retrieval remained blocked. These local records do not confer national permission or promise that every product is available in every market.
From question to defensible conclusion
Why FanDuel does not have one US-wide licence
Sportsbook and online casino states are not the same list
Poker and fantasy require their own evidence
The entity behind FanDuel can change
Sportsbook and online casino states are not the same list
The dated records for Ontario, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia and Connecticut support sportsbook and online-casino evidence. Arizona, Louisiana, Virginia, Massachusetts and Maryland have separate fantasy evidence alongside sportsbook licensing.
A query asking whether FanDuel is legal in a state needs a product. Sportsbook permission cannot become proof of online casino or poker.
Poker and fantasy require their own evidence
Michigan's authorised-provider record and Pennsylvania's separate product directories support sportsbook, internet casino and poker within the FanDuel relationships. New Jersey's indexed DGE directories also list FanDuel casino and poker through Golden Nugget and sportsbook through Meadowlands. FanDuel's 1 April 2026 launch notice separately confirms the PokerStars-on-FanDuel product. Ontario's official directory independently lists poker.fanduel.ca under FanDuel Canada ULC. No other row gains poker without equivalent evidence.
The dated Arizona and Louisiana reviews preserve separate sportsbook and fantasy evidence. The 26 September review adds fantasy in Virginia, Massachusetts and Maryland through the distinct regulatory routes described below. A sportsbook approval alone does not support any of these fantasy entries.
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 for sportsbook permission and FanDuel, Inc. in the separate VDACS fantasy register. Louisiana also separates sportsbook and fantasy identifiers. Preserve the local entity and product 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 dated source checks establish
The August review recorded FanDuel through Mohegan Sun in Connecticut's licensed sports-wagering and online-casino lists. On 26 September 2026, Massachusetts' Category 3 untethered licence roster, Virginia's permit-holder list and Maryland's legal-operator page continued to support sportsbook licensing, while separate sources supported fantasy in all three states. Ohio's licence list updated 8 September 2026 and read on 25 October names Betfair Interactive US, LLC (FanDuel) as an active mobile management services provider that is currently operating with Youngstown Real Estate Ventures, LLC at Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley.
A licensing roster, fantasy registration and monthly operating report establish different facts. Ohio's current permission is now supported by the licence roster independently of the May revenue report. The New Jersey DGE copies were retrieved on 25 October 2026: the casino copy was reported crawled two weeks earlier and the sportsbook copy that day. Direct access returned 403. They support the listed products but do not constitute a live page fetch or an individual licence-term audit. The downloadable evidence retains each market's source type and check date; other rows do not inherit the article's update date.
Three distinct routes to fantasy permission
Virginia's VDACS fantasy register, dated 30 June 2026, lists FanDuel, Inc. with a registration period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. VDACS's official notice allows previously registered operators covered by the transition to continue offering fantasy contests pending Virginia Lottery regulations and a permit decision. This transitional permission is separate from Betfair Interactive US LLC's sportsbook permit. The printed registration period is not treated as a current legal cutoff.
Massachusetts separately lists FanDuel among DFS operators governed by the Attorney General's 940 CMR 34.00. That entry is distinct from Betfair Interactive US, LLC's Category 3 sports-wagering licence. Maryland lists FanDuel as both a licensed online sportsbook and a registered fantasy operator; its fantasy rules exclude contests based on a single team, a combination of teams or an individual athlete's performance in one real event. The fantasy evidence for Massachusetts and Maryland was rechecked on 24 October 2026. Virginia's separate VDACS register and transition notice were also rechecked on 24 October 2026. Louisiana's separate sportsbook and fantasy entries were also rechecked on 24 October 2026.

Six relationships preserve sportsbook and online-casino evidence; Ontario, Michigan, Pennsylvania and New Jersey also preserve poker evidence. Arizona, Louisiana, Virginia, Massachusetts and Maryland have separate fantasy evidence.
Sportsbook, online casino, poker and fantasy permissions are separate and must be checked product by product.
Ontario is a separate provincial record
The iGaming Ontario operator directory, rechecked on 9 October 2026, names FanDuel Canada ULC with separate casino, poker and sportsbook sites. Its stated accuracy date remains 1 September. 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.

- 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.
