FanDuel Group, the premier online gaming company in the United States, announced the launch of FanDuel Faceoff, a casual game experience in partnership with Game Taco, the nation’s premier skill-based game platform company. FanDuel Faceoff will offer customers the opportunity to play casual games against one another for fun and the chance to win cash and other prizes. At launch, FanDuel Faceoff will be available in 32 states in the U.S.
Available on iOS, FanDuel Faceoff gives players the chance to compete through their existing FanDuel accounts. Players will have the opportunity to compete in head-to-head games, multi-player games, and other special events for cash prizes. FanDuel Faceoff features four popular Game Taco titles for launch: Grand Slam Superstar, Wheel of Fortune, King’s Crossing, and Block Trail.
“As we continue to diversify our product offerings to offer new ways to engage our customers, we are delighted to partner with Game Taco to create and launch FanDuel Faceoff,” said John Griffin, Senior Vice President, Sports Commercial FanDuel Group. “Game Taco’s history as a pioneer in the space operating the WorldWinner franchise will provide our customers access to many well-known casual games.”
The multi-year, exclusive partnership between the two companies gives FanDuel access to Game Taco’s expansive content library, which will become available to customers as new titles are added to the FanDuel Faceoff platform, or new games are designed by Game Taco.
“FanDuel Faceoff introduces casual skill-based games to a built-in audience that likes to compete for cash prizes,” said Josh Barrow, CEO of Game Taco. “Our games are all fun, entertaining, and easy to play, but difficult to master. We look forward to adding more games, platforms, and tournament styles and making casual games of skill an integral part of the FanDuel entertainment ecosystem.”

BCLC Celebrates its 40th Anniversary With New Scratch & Win that Lets Winners Give Back

BCLC has launched a Scratch & Win ticket that is a win-win for both the Top Prize winner and their registered B.C. charity of choice.
The Greater Good Giveaway ticket offers a Top Prize of $10,000 for the winner and $10,000 for their registered charity of choice, selected from a list of British Columbia charities on CanadaHelps.
Thomas D’Cruz from Richmond is the first Top Prize winner for Greater Good Giveaway. D’Cruz selected the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation to receive the $10,000 charity prize, sharing that he “wanted to help children.” The winning ticket was purchased at Walmart on Alderbridge Way in Richmond.
There are over 12,000 registered B.C. charities on CanadaHelps for Top Prize winners to select from that support a variety of different causes, including arts and culture, education, social services and more.
“At BCLC, we believe that when we share the wins, we feel more connected to each other, our communities and our province,” says Natasha Questel, BCLC Chief Social Purpose Officer and Vice President of Marketing. “Our players have shared that they are interested in different types of prizing that go beyond a dollar amount, so as we celebrate our 40th anniversary we’re thrilled to launch the Greater Good Giveaway – a ticket that allows our players the chance to support causes that resonate deeply with them, and aligns strongly with our social purpose – to generate win-wins for the greater good.”
Greater Good Giveaway tickets are $2 each and are available for purchase at lottery retailers across the province. For full details on the Greater Good Giveaway ticket, including how to play, please visit our website.
