FanDuel Adds New Sportsbook Features as NFL Season Approaches

FanDuel, a leading online gaming and betting company in North America, has announced the addition of new sports betting products and features, in time for the NFL season. These include a new loyalty program, bet protections in case a player sustains an injury, and in-app access to better sports intelligence.

In its announcement, FanDuel said that the addition of the new products seeks to give its FanDuel Sportsbook players more control during the NFL season.

The first of the new product experiences is the Rewards Club, a new points-based monthly loyalty program that encourages loyalty, while providing players with more control over how they earn boost and bonuses. In addition, the Rewards Club allows players to choose their own rewards once such are available.

FanDuel players can unlock Rewards Club levels as they place bets. Levels offer increasing benefits, some of which include daily promotions, weekly rewards, challenges, and reward boxes.

FanDuel announced that its beloved BetProtect+ feature, which drove strong engagement during the NBA Playoffs and WNBA season, will now be available for NFL games too. For reference, BetProtect+ adds a 3% surcharge to any bets but provides players with a full-game injury protection.

The protection means that if a player customers wagered on gets hurt and must exit a game, the bet associated with that player will be refunded. In case the bet was a part of a parlay, only the corresponding leg will be removed.

Players who wish to do so can activate BetProtect+ by default.

FanDuel added that it has added new and improved game intelligence features to allow players to make informed decisions when placing wagers. Using the FanDuel app, players can now check game logs and breakdowns, team stats, records, and standings.

A new Ask AceAI tool, on the other hand, will allow players to leverage the power of artificial intelligence to quickly find the info they care about.

According to FanDuel, the new features seek to provide players with more control of their experience. Karol Corcoran, FanDuel’s managing director, explained:

Rewards Club offers those who continue to choose FanDuel Sportsbook more promotions and flexibility in how they use them, and we’re also thrilled to bring new research tools and an enhanced version of our popular Bet Protect+ to the NFL.

FanDuel hopes that the new features will result in enjoyable betting experiences for all NFL fans.
