Nevada board accepts withdrawals of DraftKings and FanDuel applications
Nevada’s Gaming Control Board accepted Flutter’s surrender of FanDuel-related registrations, licences and approvals, and approved the withdrawal of active and pending applications for FanDuel and DraftKings. Board chairman Mike Dreitzer said the companies intended to engage in unlawful sports event contract activity; FanDuel said it was a difficult decision to surrender its licence.
The board’s action removes the companies’ active and pending Nevada applications as they pursue sports event contracts.
