New Jersey’s recently-launched Ocean Resort online casino is also based on GAN technology. GAN is a London-based outfit that has been active in online and real-world gaming for years. The newly-combined venture will see FanDuel launch an NJ online casino under the Golden Nugget’s gambling license and an online sportsbook under the sports betting license held by Meadowlands Racetrack.Īccording to Associated Press reports, software technology companies GAN and IGT will provide the platform for both the casino and the sportsbook. Tacking an online casino onto FanDuel Sportsbook will be a piece of cake for these people. Plus, FanDuel’s recent agreement to join forces with international gaming giant Paddy Power Betfair leaves the company well-funded and in the hands of people who are deeply experienced in all forms of online gambling. “ FanDuel Casino” feels a bit odd on the tongue at first, but their plan to start an online casino also shouldn’t be a major surprise.Ĭasino gaming is a much a bigger moneymaker than sports betting anyways and online gambling is already legal in New Jersey, so why not? The idea of a FanDuel sportsbook isn’t difficult to imagine considering the obvious crossover appeal between daily fantasy and actual sports betting.
The Associated Press is reporting today that the FanDuel Group has announced plans to open an online casino and an online sportsbook for New Jersey residents in time for the start of the NFL season.
