FanDuel
FanDuel, founded in 2009 and now wholly owned by Flutter Entertainment, is one of the two dominant U.S. daily fantasy operators. It offers full-roster salary-cap and single-game contests, snake drafts and best ball across major U.S. leagues, college sports, golf, soccer, NASCAR and UFC. FanDuel shut down its separate peer-to-peer pick'em product, FanDuel Picks, in spring 2026.
