FanDuel adds $0.50 fee to Illinois bets from September
Flutter said FanDuel will charge a $0.50 transaction fee on each Illinois bet from 1 September, in response to a state fee on licensed sports wagers taking effect on 1 July. Illinois will charge operators $0.25 per bet for their first 20 million wagers in a fiscal year and $0.50 for each wager after that. Flutter said it would remove FanDuel’s charge if the state reverses its decision.
The state fee and FanDuel’s response change the per-bet cost for operators and customers in Illinois.
