FanDuel Group, the premier online gaming company in the US, and the United Center, home of the Chicago Bulls and Chicago Blackhawks, announced plans to open a state-of-the-art FanDuel Sportsbook lounge inside Chicago’s most iconic arena.
Pending necessary approvals being obtained, including from the Illinois Gaming Board, FanDuel’s newest in-arena sportsbook lounge will bring the excitement of sports wagering inside the United Center where fans can enjoy the action of Bulls and Blackhawks games all season long.
