Will FanDuel Be Able to Take Bets From Those in Texas?
While FanDuel offers its daily fantasy contests to those in Texas, the company cannot offer sports betting as Texas does not offer licenses and FanDuel operates in the regulated US market. Offshore sportsbooks have opted not to obtain licenses in the US. Sites like Jazz Sports are licensed offshore instead. In this regard, FanDuel operates similar to most Vegas casino operators.
Texas is not expected to license sportsbooks in-state any time soon as the state is notorious for its unfriendly stance towards gambling. Casinos found in Texas operate exclusively on tribal lands. The best land-based casino for those living in Texas with all the bells and whistles sits on the Oklahoma side of the border one hour north of Dallas.
The state is also home to a number of card rooms, some of which have come under scrutiny of late as reported by Gambling911.com.
