After fives years working with Greenbrier Casino Club as its market access partner in West Virginia, FanDuel is switching things up.
The Flutter-owned brand announced earlier this month that Delaware North is the company’s new market access partner for online sports betting and iGaming operations in the Mountain State, working in tandem with Mardi Gras Casino & Resort. FanDuel will continue to operate the Greenbrier’s retail sportsbook even though the companies are no longer online partners.
West Virginia Lottery confirmed to SBC Americas that the license between FanDuel and and The Greenbrier extends only to brick and mortar sports betting.
“Delaware North has been a respected name in gaming and hospitality for decades, and they are an ideal partner as we continue to operate in West Virginia,” said FanDuel Business Development Senior Vice President Jonathan Edson.
Mardi Gras Casino & Resort is located just outside of Charleston in Cross Lanes, West Virginia. The facility houses a retail sportsbook powered by Betly, Delaware North’s sports betting and online casino brand that remains live in the state.
“We love working with FanDuel and are very proud to be partnered together in West Virginia,” said Delaware North Chief Interactive Gaming Officer Lee Terfloth. “This partnership represents the best of what Delaware North strives for, bringing trusted, innovative experiences to our customers – and FanDuel is an incredible ally in that mission.”
Delaware North’s previous partner in West Virginia
Delaware North is collaborating with FanDuel in West Virginia after previously serving as the market access partner of WynnBet in the state. The agreement between Delaware North and WynnBet included both online sports betting and casino operations.
Delaware North’s relationship with WynnBet dissolved after WynnBet shuttered online sports betting operations in the U.S. WynnBet debuted in 2021 and later expanded its reach to 11 states, including Michigan, New York and New Jersey. The operator dissolved online operations on a roll-out basis between August 2023 and August 2024.
