Online Casino Style: News - Orange County Adds Fan Duel

09/29/2010		Online Casino Style - News: Orange County Adds Fan Duel
Home History Games News Dictionary		It seems that the fan base is growing for the Fan Duels fantasy sports game, as the company behind the product announced this week that they have added yet another media company to the growing list of clients. The latest to offer the platform is that of the Orange County Register, which confirmed the news, saying that the fantasy sports offering will be included in their sports pages to be found at OC Register.fanduel.com, with primary sports to be launched chosen as the MLB and the NFL games. Provided that the OC Register’s membership takes well to the new product, the company did say that they would be adding NBA and NHL games when the seasons begin. Fan Duel is a company based out of the state of California, and signed the contract with the media firm just last Friday, revealing few details of the new partnership save the fact that the pair will be sharing in the revenues generated by the fantasy sports games. Though online gambling is still technically illegal in the US until Barney Frank is able to pass his bill to overturn the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, that doesn’t mean that there aren’t loopholes for gamblers to utilize, one of them being the creation of fantasy teams to bet on for a cost. The professional sports writers at the Register will be keeping the competition extra spicy by challenging their readers with their own picks, as well as offering up advice. While most fantasy sports programs lock a user in to their team for a season, Fan Duel allows punters to choose their team for just one day, with no season-long commitment. Its just the sort of product that recreational gamblers like, allowing them to win cash the same day they participate as well. Those who’d like to play along for free may do so as well, but without the chance to win cash back. "Fantasy sports are hugely popular with our readers," said John Fabris, the Register's deputy editor for sports. "Now they will be able to play right on our site, where they also can find sports news, commentary and data."
