DC Lottery and the Office of Lottery and Gaming reported a $15.8 million sports betting handle from all licensees in March, the last full month GambetDC served as the primary app in the nation’s capital.
FanDuel became the district’s official primary sports betting app Monday, with the district hoping the industry leader in the United States can provide the type of action and eventual tax revenue long sought but rarely seen with predecessor Intralot and GambetDC.
Intralot, though, is still part of the D.C. sports betting scene, as it subcontracted FanDuel to be the lottery’s primary sportsbook. Its contract with DC Lottery expires in July, though DC Lottery suggested Intralot receive a two-year extension at a district council meeting earlier this month.
There is a bill proposal from district council member Kenyan McDuffie that would greatly expand mobile sports betting access as both BetMGM and Caesars are restricted to two-block radiuses around their retail locations at Nationals Park and Capital One Arena, respectively. FanDuel also has a retail presence as the official sportsbook of MLS club D.C. United at Audi Field.
