Starting on Tuesday, sports bettors in Indiana will have a third option for a mobile application, as FanDuel will launch its online platform in the state.<\/p>\n

The Indiana Gaming Commission (IGC) posted the notice on its Web site Monday morning.<\/p>\n

\n

FanDuel already has a presence in the Hoosier State, as it opened two retail sportsbooks last month. According to the IGC\u2019s order, the mobile application will fall under the license awarded to the Blue Chip Casino in Michigan City near the Michigan state line. The company also runs a retail establishment at the Belterra Casino Resort in the southern part of the state, roughly midway between Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati. Both casinos are owned and operated by Boyd Gaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When it becomes available, Indiana<\/a> will be the fourth state where the sports technology company offers online gaming, and the third implementation of it in as many months. Nearly two months ago, it launched in West Virginia<\/a>. A month before that, it opened in Pennsylvania<\/a>.<\/p>\n

FanDuel’s King: Committed to Users<\/h2>\n

FanDuel is currently the top online sportsbook in Pennsylvania and New Jersey<\/a>. At last week\u2019s Global Gaming Expo (G2E), CEO Matt King discussed some of the steps the company took to become the mobile sports betting app of choice in its top two markets.<\/p>\n

One of the ways FanDuel has pursued a customer-first strategy is by employing a single app that works across all states, unlike some competitors, which have individual apps for each state where they\u2019re licensed.<\/p>\n

That was an easy conversation internally. It was a lot harder technically, but if you think about it, you probably have 50 apps on your phone,\u201d King said. \u201cName me one that doesn\u2019t work outside of the state of Nevada. It just doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s evidence of our commitment to putting users first to say we are in a regulated business. We embrace that. There\u2019s a complexity that comes with that, but that complexity should be our burden, and not for some who use it. So, we look to make it as positive an experience for the users as possible, because that\u2019s the way you’re going to maximize the market\u201d<\/p>\n

Indiana Sports Betting Reset<\/h2>\n

Sports betting became legal in Indiana last month. For September, the IGC reported a total handle of $35.2 million and adjusted gross revenues of almost $8.6 million.<\/p>\n

All those bets were generated through the state\u2019s retail sportsbooks. FanDuel\u2019s two retail outlets combined for nearly $4.6 million of that handle.<\/p>\n

The first online sportsbooks<\/a> in the state went live on Oct. 3, with BetRivers, a Rush Street Gaming property, and DraftKings getting permission.<\/p>\n

While FanDuel will be the latest, it certainly won\u2019t be the last. Last week, Full House Resorts, which runs the Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, announced a partnership with Wynn Resorts for a mobile sports betting application. Previously, the company announced another mobile partnership with Smarkets. In addition, the company will use BetAmerica to run its retail sportsbook and offer an online app.<\/p>\n

Also last week, Spectacle Entertainment announced BetIndiana would operate one of its mobile sports betting applications for its casino in Gary.<\/p>\n

Mobile wagering may really boost Indiana’s sports betting revenue. The state,15th largest in the US by population, is currently a sports betting island, surrounded by four states that have yet to legalize the activity. Three of those states — Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio — rank among the top eight most populous states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
