FanDuel eyes UK launch by August but still waiting for license approval

FanDuel already has a target date for its debut across the pond, but there’s just one problem—the daily fantasy sports operator has yet to receive its UK license.

In an interview with Gambling Insider, FanDuel’s Eilidh Morrison confirmed the company is eyeing to launch in the UK in August, but he stressed that “the date is not set in stone and still provisional.”

It appears one of the reasons why the company is hedging its bets on an August launch date was that it was still waiting for its UK license application to be approved.

FanDuel, which is reportedly planning to offer a football-only product, already has a license to operate remote gambling software but it’s not yet allowed to operate remote pool betting in UK.
