FanDuel Extends 13-Year Partnership with GeoComply Adding Dedicated Engineers and Prediction Market Coverage

SCCG Take — The renewal shows operators embedding compliance technology deeper into product and fraud workflows as prediction markets add jurisdictional complexity. Established vendor ties reduce integration costs at scale.

FanDuel has renewed its partnership with GeoComply through a new multi-year agreement. The relationship dates back 13 years and has supported the operator’s expansion to a customer base of approximately 17 million. The deal preserves use of geolocation, identity verification and fraud prevention technology and adds dedicated forward-deployed engineers who will collaborate directly with FanDuel product and operations teams.

Performance Metrics and Expanded Technical Scope

GeoComply has processed billions of player checks for FanDuel with a 99.7% pass rate and 99.999% service availability during peak periods that include Super Bowl traffic. The company now processes approximately 2.5 billion checks each month across its operator portfolio. It also handled more than 3.2 million player checks in the first week of Alberta’s regulated iGaming market.

Kip Levin, GeoComply CEO, said: “FanDuel and GeoComply have grown up together, from their first regulated state to nationwide scale. What’s been interesting is everything we’ve built together on top of those signals since: fraud and abuse detection, frictionless authentication, market insights. The kind of intelligence that is key to operators’ compliance at scale.”

The renewed arrangement arrives ahead of the U.S. football season. It forms part of a series of 2026 agreements that includes expansions with Hard Rock Digital in May, DraftKings in June and Caesars Entertainment.

Coverage of FanDuel Predicts and Regulatory Distinctions

The agreement extends to FanDuel Predicts, launched at the beginning of 2026 and now active in 18 states. GeoComply technology enforces geographic restrictions as state-level rules require platforms to distinguish permitted jurisdictions for sports event contracts. Outgoing Flutter CEO Peter Jackson said: “It is very early days, but we already expect to generate approximately $50 million of revenue from market-making this year, demonstrating both the good progress made so far, and the potential opportunity that exists in market-making. We will continue to build out this capability in the second half of the year.”

Christian Genetski, president of FanDuel, highlighted the platform’s focus on customer experience alongside integrity and compliance. According to World Casino News, the partnership preserves established infrastructure as FanDuel operates traditional wagering alongside prediction markets. The addition of direct engineering support creates tighter operational alignment without altering core eligibility and fraud controls.

When compliance becomes product strategy, operators pay for dedicated infrastructure — not toolkits.

We've watched geolocation evolve from regulatory checkbox to core product infrastructure. FanDuel embedding GeoComply engineers inside their stack signals the shift: compliance is now a competitive advantage, especially as prediction markets layer on new jurisdictional rules. Seventeen million users demand five-nines uptime. That costs money and partnership depth.

SCCG angle: SCCG has represented geolocation, KYC, and fraud vendors across every regulated market for decades. When a client needs to build or buy compliance infrastructure that scales with product velocity — not against it — we broker the intros and deal structure that turn vendor relationships into strategic embedded partnerships.
