- FanDuel becomes the third mobile sportsbook to launch in Illinois.
- The popular sports betting site launches with a new Pair-A-Dice mobile sportsbook.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – A third mobile sportsbook in Illinois has appeared for its residents with the launch of FanDuel’s Pair-A-Dice sports betting app.
This launch comes the same day following the Illinois Gaming Board approving FanDuel’s operation in the Prairie State, showing that the popular sportsbook is wasting no time to bring its product the Illinois players.
The Pair-A-Dice app is live now for sports bettors in the Illinois area, with promotional events ongoing for the big launch.

Illinois sports bettors are already beginning to log on and partake in all the betting action that FanDuel is now offering.
As the third mobile sports betting entity to operate in the Prairie State, FanDuel is able to capitalize on the huge sports betting market that is still early in its inception.
“We have been waiting for this day for quite some time,” said Mike Raffensperger, CMO of FanDuel Group. “Sports are back, so we are going to show sports fans in Illinois an innovative sports betting app experience with industry leading promotions and consumer protections that have made FanDuel the #1 sportsbook in the U.S.”
With the launch, FanDuel is looking to further push its already popular sports betting product to the third-largest city in America, Chicago.
With sports teams like the Chicago Bulls, the Chicago Bears, and the Chicago White Sox, it is no stretch to say the sports fan base is massive in Illinois.
It makes sense then why FanDuel will launch its all-new Pair-A-Dice sportsbook inside the casino alongside the mobile launch. FanDuel is also available for residents in New Jersey, West Virginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.

Pair-A-Dice is now currently live for patrons to sign up. You do not need to travel to a physical location in order to register for the mobile sportsbook as Governor JB. Pritzker recently signed an executive order reinstating the remote account registration in Illinois.
That is why now is the best time for FanDuel to launch its legal sports betting product in Illinois.
