BLACK HAWK, Colo.--()--FanDuel Group today announced the launch of the FanDuel Sportsbook app and online experience in Colorado. In partnership with Twin River Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:TRWH) and Golden Gates Casino Black Hawk, Colorado is the fifth state in the United States where the industry-leading FanDuel Sportsbook online and mobile platform is available. FanDuel is bringing its best-in-class online sports betting experience to sports fans in the Centennial State who can now place wagers across professional football, basketball, baseball, golf, MMA, soccer, table tennis, darts and tennis with a multitude of betting and payment options available.

The FanDuel Sportsbook is available for download via iOS and Android for residents and visitors to Colorado. At launch, the FanDuel Sportsbook will offer a daily free to play game called The ANYTHINGBOOK, where customers can test their sports and pop culture knowledge for the opportunity to win daily cash prizes. Each day, a new question will be posted and correct answers will be rewarded with $5 in site credit.

“Colorado is home to a passionate group of sports fans and we are incredibly excited to show them why FanDuel is the number one online sportsbook in the country,” said Mike Raffensperger, CMO of FanDuel Group. “Our free to play ANYTHINGBOOK game is designed to engage fans during this period of limited sporting events and introduce them to FanDuel Sportsbook’s unique features and markets.”

The FanDuel Sportsbook app in Colorado is simple, secure, and convenient, with a number of key features, including:

  • ANYTHINGBOOK Game: The FanDuel Sportsbook will post one free prop bet for customers in Colorado to select across sports, pop culture, TV, and more. Customers who answer the question correctly will win $5 in site credit.
  • Innovative Spirit: FanDuel was the first US Sportsbook to offer live streaming of sporting events inside a betting app and the first to offer Single Game Parlays, which is the ability to build a parlay utilizing betting markets from the same game.
  • New TV Campaign: FanDuel will launch a brand new advertising campaign in Colorado featuring a never-before-seen TV commercial.
  • FanDuel Group’s Account and Wallet Technology: FanDuel Group developed its own account and wallet technology in-house that is the backbone of the new operating system on the FanDuel Sportsbook app in Colorado. The FanDuel Sportsbook now connects to FanDuel’s popular fantasy sports app, so customers can use fantasy sports and sportsbook winnings interchangeably.

In addition, the FanDuel Sportsbook offers a range of payment options, safe and secure banking, lightning fast payouts usually within twenty four hours, a Cash Out early feature, 24/7 customer service, and in-game wagering allowing users to bet on live games as they’re being played.
