The Office of Lottery and Gaming (OLG) announced that FanDuel is the new sports wagering subcontractor for Intralot Inc., OLG’s lottery and sports wagering system vendor. Under this agreement, residents of Washington, D.C. will gain access to FanDuel’s sports wagering app, which is the market leader nationally, as well as its website and retail platforms.

“FanDuel’s industry-leading offering will ensure that the District maximizes tax revenue under its existing contracts this year while delivering a best-in-class experience for 18+ residents,” Frank Suarez, Executive Director of OLG, said.

FanDuel’s mobile sports wagering platform will be available to both residents and visitors inside the geographic boundaries of the District of Columbia starting this spring. The new partnership will bring immediate financial benefit to the District, including an initial $5M fee payable by Intralot within the current fiscal year. The initial fee alone guarantees a significant revenue increase from sports wagering for the District in 2024.

Other benefits of the agreement include:

  • Intralot will assume OLG’s current operating costs associated with sports wagering, providing additional savings to help increase the revenue from sports wagering that will go to the District’s general fund, allowing the District to fund critical programs.
  • Washington, D.C.’s Certified Business Enterprises (CBE), local, often minority-owned businesses will continue to gain revenue from sports wagering. Under this new partnership, the CBEs who are part of the existing sports wagering component of the contract are expected to see 1.5 to 2 times greater gaming revenue than they currently do.
  • FanDuel’s strong national presence and 50% market share in neighboring states will allow Washington, D.C.’s 20 million annual visitors to engage in legalized sports wagering and will also regain the participation of residents who currently engage in sports betting in neighboring states.
  • Additionally, GambetDC’s existing in-store gaming kiosks will be replaced by FanDuel’s on a phased basis.

OLG will maintain its strong commitment to responsible gaming oversight. All users will now have access to FanDuel’s industry-leading problem gambling prevention, education, and advocacy resources. The FanDuel platform offers built-in app safeguards, allowing customers to set deposits, wagers, and time limits for their play.

Global Gaming Solutions has welcomed a statement from the Isle of Man Government reaffirming its commitment to the iGaming sector. It comes after a year that tested confidence across parts of the industry.

The Isle of Man Government highlighted its strong iGaming history in a statement released today by the Department for Enterprise. The Island’s reputation comes from robust regulation, political and economic stability, and close working between Government, regulators and industry. The statement reaffirmed that iGaming remains a core and enduring part of the Isle of Man’s economy, now and into the future.

The Chief Minister said the Government has strengthened its understanding of risk in response to a more complex global environment. He added that additional resources and frameworks are now in place to respond to emerging threats. The statement confirmed that ICE 2026 in Barcelona is the starting point for a coordinated programme of engagement. Digital Isle of Man and other agencies will continue to make the case for the Island as a secure and trusted home for well-regulated iGaming.

Responding to the announcement, Global Gaming Solutions said the statement provides important reassurance for existing licence holders and prospective businesses operating in the sector.

Mark O’Neill, Managing Director of Global Gaming Solutions, said:

“The Isle of Man Government’s reaffirmation of its commitment to the iGaming sector provides important clarity and reassurance for existing licence holders and the wider global industry. The Island’s long-standing focus on robust regulation, awareness and mitigation of emerging risks and constructive engagement with industry continues to underpin its reputation as a trusted and well-governed jurisdiction.”

Global Gaming Solutions added that clear, public affirmation of Government support plays a valuable role in maintaining confidence during periods of change, particularly for jurisdictions with a strong international reputation for regulatory quality and cooperation.

The Isle of Man Government stated that it will continue to work closely with industry. The aim is to support sustainable growth, meet international standards, and secure the sector’s long-term success. The Government will carry out further outreach and information sharing over the coming year to ensure regulatory expectations and emerging risks are clearly understood.
