FanDuel has extended its long-running deal with GeoComply, keeping the geolocation, identity and fraud technology behind its betting products in place under a new multi-year agreement.
A 13-Year Partnership Keeps Rolling
FanDuel and GeoComply have renewed a partnership that stretches back 13 years, a period in which FanDuel grew from operating in a single regulated state to serving roughly 17 million customers.
Under the new agreement, FanDuel will continue using GeoComply technology for location checks, customer eligibility, registration, identity verification and fraud prevention.
The timing is hardly accidental. The renewal arrives ahead of the U.S. football season, when sportsbooks typically face a surge in registrations, promotions and betting traffic.
GeoComply says it has processed billions of player checks for FanDuel during the companies’ relationship, with a reported 99.7% pass rate. Service availability has reached 99.999% during high-traffic periods such as the Super Bowl and launches in newly regulated states.
For players, the practical impact is fairly simple: location and identity checks are supposed to happen quickly enough that they barely register. When they do not, getting a bet down before kickoff can become its own unwanted contest.
GeoComply Engineers Get Closer to FanDuel
The renewed deal goes beyond maintaining the existing setup. GeoComply will assign forward-deployed engineers to work directly with FanDuel‘s product and operations teams.
Those engineers will help FanDuel make greater use of location data, device intelligence, behavioral information and real-time fraud detection. The aim is to catch suspicious activity earlier while keeping legitimate users moving through authentication and compliance checks with less friction.
GeoComply also supplies Know Your Customer technology used to confirm player identities and eligibility. Across its wider customer base, the company processes around 2.5 billion checks per month.
The expanded arrangement reflects how geolocation has evolved in regulated online gambling. Knowing whether a customer is physically inside a permitted state remains essential, but operators increasingly combine that information with device and identity data to detect account abuse and other suspicious behavior.
FanDuel Predicts Is Part of the Deal
GeoComply’s technology will also support FanDuel Predicts, the company’s prediction market offering launched in the U.S. in early 2026.
FanDuel Predicts currently offers sports trading markets in 18 states, with GeoComply helping enforce geographic restrictions. That job has become more complicated as prediction market platforms offering sports event contracts clash with state authorities over where those products can legally be offered.
Parent company Flutter has said FanDuel Predicts was not material to its second-quarter earnings, although prediction markets remain part of its plans. Former Flutter CEO Peter Jackson said the company expected approximately $50 million in market-making revenue during 2026.
GeoComply Keeps Busy With Major Operators
FanDuel is not the only gambling heavyweight extending its relationship with GeoComply in 2026.
GeoComply expanded its agreement with Hard Rock Digital in May, including the use of its IDComply KYC and anti-money laundering technology for Hard Rock Bet. DraftKings renewed its partnership in June, while Caesars Entertainment also agreed to a multi-year extension covering online casino and sports betting operations in regulated markets.
The company has been busy north of the U.S. border as well. GeoComply processed more than 3.2 million player checks during the first week of Alberta‘s regulated iGaming market.
For FanDuel customers, the renewed partnership is unlikely to produce a flashy new button or feature. Its value is mostly behind the scenes: making sure players are where they say they are, accounts belong to the right people and legitimate customers can get through the checks without unnecessary headaches.
