FanDuel’s customers are the first to be able to access horse racing and sports wagering using a single account. With this launch, which is part of its ongoing investment in customer experience and its continuing commitment to introduce a new generation of audiences to horse racing, FanDuel has become the first US sportsbook to offer this feature.

The merged/single account feature is currently available in New York, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, West Virginia, Wyoming, Michigan, Colorado and Virginia and should be available in additional states early next year. "Horse racing is a big part of our DNA" said Amy Howe the CEO of FanDuel Group. "This is a significant opportunity to expose a broader, engaged audience to the sport in a familiar environment."

Earlier this year, the FanDuel launched FanDuel TV, re-branding its TVG network, which focused almost exclusively on horse racing, and adding more sports and sports betting content, including NFL-focused "Up & Adams" with Kay Adams, "Run It Back" with Michele Beadle and Shams Charania, along with "More Ways To Win" featuring Lisa Kerney. FanDuel TV broadcasts racing from Churchill Downs, Santa Anita, Del Mar, Keeneland, Gulfstream Park and several other major US and international racing venues.
