FanDuel Group launches mobile sportsbook in Arizona

FanDuel Group has recently launched its leading mobile sportsbook and its online horse racing and advanced deposit wagering platform, TVG, in Arizona. The retail FanDuel Sportsbook will be located inside the Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns. FanDuel has been named the Suns' Official Sportsbook and Daily Fantasy Sports Partner last April.

"The fans of Arizona are some of the most passionate in sports, and that was evident during the Suns incredible playoff run this year," said Mike Raffensperger, CMO of FanDuel Group. "Together, FanDuel and the Suns share a mission of delivering absurdly fan-friendly experiences to our customers and we are excited to offer sports betting in a way that revolutionizes the live experience, and brings fans closer to the game. We are thankful to the Suns organization for their partnership and look forward to making our lounge in the Footprint Center one of the preeminent sportsbook locations in the entire country”. The legalized launch of mobile sports wagering in Arizona comes on the heels of FanDuel launching its daily fantasy sports product in the state on August 28.

"Today is a defining moment for our organization, fans, and the entire State of Arizona," added Suns President and CEO Jason Rowley. "We're excited to partner with an innovative leader like FanDuel to bring the FanDuel Sportsbook to Footprint Center along with a multitude of new experiences to all sports fans. We're committed to continuing to elevate the gameday experience and engaging fans at the highest level possible, and these new amenities are the latest example of our mission."

Residents of Arizona can now also watch and wager on live horse racing through FanDuel's TVG mobile app and website. TVG is an affiliate of the FanDuel Group, and the largest Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) platform in the United States. In addition, TVG is also America's dedicated horse racing network featuring both Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing from major racing venues in the United States and top international tracks from Europe, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong.

Arizona marks the 11th state where FanDuel offers mobile sports betting, after New Jersey, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Tennessee. The company also has retail sportsbook locations in 10 states, with Arizona joining Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Michigan.
