Will the FanDuel Sports Betting App Be Available to Those in These States?
Missouri has repeatedly failed to pass sports betting legislation, and 2023 was no exception.
The conflicts that exist include those who flat out don't want any form of gambling expansion and those who want to include lottery terminals throughout the state.
Arkansas now has mobile sports betting but the competition is limited.
As for Louisiana, the state eventually legalized sports betting in all but a handful of parishes that voted against a ballot referendum.
Disadvantages to Using the FanDuel Sports Betting App
Even as a resident of another state, you can still place real money bets on the FanDuel app, but only when visiting New Jersey. This is the only state that currently offers the app for real money betting.
It should be noted that residents of these states regularly travel to New Jersey with flights to and from New Orleans, St. Louis, Kansas City and even Bentonville, Arkansas.
The Fanduel sports betting app went live in New Jersey during the last days of August. It is only available in this state currently. Folks who wish to open a betting account may do so from outside the state but will be unable to bet until they are within New Jersey's borders, this includes Newark International Airport.
Those using the FanDuel app may be subject to tax. Offshore sportsbooks do not send tax forms to government agencies.
Another disadvantage is the limited device compatibility. The Fanduel sports betting app is for Android and IOS.
While those 18 or older can play with offshore sportsbooks, FanDuel and its New Jersey-based counterparts require users to be at least 21 in order to place a bet.
