FanDuel Debuts FAST Channel for Live Sports and Betting

FanDuel has launched a new streaming service called FAST Channel that provides live sports and betting experiences.

FanDuel TV has introduced FanDuel TV Extra, a new service that streams live sports. It offers more live sports for free with ads compared to other similar services. Viewers can also bet on sports while they watch.

Where To Watch

FanDuel TV Extra is on streaming services such as Pluto TV and Roku Channel, and you can also watch it on FanDuel's platform, FanDuel TV+.

Live Sports Coverage

• International basketball from countries like China and Turkey
• Football from the South Korean K-League
• Professional Darts Corporation events
• PokerStars events

Strategic Push for New Viewers

FanDuel TV, which started in September 2022, is growing under the direction of executive producer and senior vice-president, Kevin Grigsby. He plans to increase the audience by partnering with more free ad-supported streaming TV services soon.

He explains that their channel is unique because it broadcasts more than 12 hours of live sports every day for viewers to place bets on. Their main audience is sports enthusiasts who enjoy gambling.

FanDuel's Big Plans

FanDuel is targeting people who enjoy watching sports and placing bets simultaneously. A YouGov survey indicates that these viewers prefer to have the option to bet directly while streaming the games. An app that offers this feature could attract more users.

FanDuel aims to compete with established betting services like ESPN Bet, which already has many subscribers. They think they can expand by focusing on the trend where people both watch sports and place bets at the same time.

FanDuel has been performing well and experiencing significant growth.

Flutter Entertainment owns a company called FanDuel and is pleased with its success. In 2023, FanDuel made money in the US for the first time. The head of Flutter, Peter Jackson, says FanDuel is now the top company in its market in America.

They earned more from their gaming in the US and increased their profits compared to the previous year. They expect to continue doing well because of their new streaming service.
