FanDuel will not be operating in the state of Oregon as rival DraftKings has acquired the sole license to offer mobile sports betting there. This isn't your father's DraftKings as the Oregon version will be watered down. No college sports betting, not even on the Ducks or Beavers. Our friends from BetUS are here to save the day for those in Oregon with betting on college sports and all horse races, including the Kentucky Derby.
The Oregon Lottery has opted to shut down its disastrous ScoreBoard betting app and allow DraftKings to run the show.
Oregon was one of only a handful of states where sports betting was legal prior to a landmark Supreme Court decision allowing all US states to offer the activity if they opted to do so. But the state lottery never did much with this power.
As bad as the ScoreBoard app is and despite no wagering on college games, Oregon still took in millions of dollars in revenue this past year.
Just as they have done in other states, DraftKings will likely hire lobbyists to push for legalization of betting on college games at some point.
The Ducks had 35-1 odds to win the 2024 College Football Playoff Championship. Oregon’s expectations for a national championship in its final Pac-12 season fell six points short and, despite losing their star quarterback Bo Nix to the NFL Draft, the Ducks chances in 2024-25 still look pretty good. Oddsmakers had them at 10-1 odds to win the CFP Championship.
Nix threw for 363 yards and five touchdowns to cap a stellar career, and No. 8 Oregon closed out its Pac-12 era by rolling over No. 18 Liberty 45-6 in the Fiesta Bowl New Year's Day.
“Really, this game is about unfinished business and we said we’re wrapping up the last chapter of our book,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “I thought our guys were a phenomenal chapter.”
So who will replace Bo? Oregon landed Oklahoma QB Dillon Gabriel in the transfer portal as his replacement to start in 2024.
Gabriel ranks eighth in FBS history with 14,895 career passing yards and is just 4,353 yards away from breaking the all-time passing yardage record held by former Houston QB Case Keenum.
