“Colorado is home to a passionate group of sports fans and we are incredibly excited to show them why FanDuel is the number one online sportsbook in the country,” said Mike Raffensperger, CMO of FanDuel Group. “Our free to play ANYTHINGBOOK game is designed to engage fans during this period of limited sporting events and introduce them to FanDuel Sportsbook’s unique features and markets.”
The FanDuel Sportsbook app in Colorado is simple, secure, and convenient, with a number of key features, including:
- ANYTHINGBOOK Game: The FanDuel Sportsbook will post one free prop bet for customers in Colorado to select across sports, pop culture, TV, and more. Customers who answer the question correctly will win $5 in site credit.
- Innovative Spirit: FanDuel was the first US Sportsbook to offer live streaming of sporting events inside a betting app and the first to offer Single Game Parlays, which is the ability to build a parlay utilizing betting markets from the same game.
- New TV Campaign: FanDuel will launch a brand new advertising campaign in Colorado featuring a never-before-seen TV commercial.
- FanDuel Group’s Account and Wallet Technology: FanDuel Group developed its own account and wallet technology in-house that is the backbone of the new operating system on the FanDuel Sportsbook app in Colorado.
