FanDuel is set to become the primary mobile betting app in Washington D.C., replacing the "glitchy" GambetDC later this spring. Announced by the D.C. Office of Lottery and Gaming, this change marks the end of the city's initial foray into the sports-gambling industry. The decision to switch to FanDuel, a well-known sports wagering company approved over the weekend, comes after the city's experience with GambetDC. The new arrangement is expected to simplify the process of placing sports bets in the city. Additionally, former D.C. Councilmember Jack Evans commented on the original decision to use a single app for betting, suggesting that it may have been a mistake.
“I think that the mistake that was made is that instead of using multiple apps and throwing the whole District open to betting, we went down the course of having a single app operated by the D.C. Lottery,” former D.C. Councilmember Jack Evans said. https://t.co/6r2d1joIKg
