An ad for FanDuel popped up on Reddit recently "Bet $5 get $200 plus 3 weeks of NFL Sunday Ticket from YouTube or YouTubeTV" and it go me wondering if FanDuel accepts bitcoin. From what I can see, FanDuel accepts bitcoin through BitPay (as well as Draft Kings, which I think merged with FanDuel and BetMGM), or at least they once did..
I also read that "VIP" customers get the "added bonus" of using bitcoin with no price fluctuation. I was having a hard time getting current info so I re-launched my Fanduel account after years of inactivity and can't find anything on the app about being able to use Bitcoin or Bitcoin via BitPay. I then went to BitPay's website and saw they have frozen purchases of new BitPay customer accounts/card issuing. Not sure if this has anything to do with maybe not being able to use it any longer on these sites
So, a lot of murky info at best, and was curious if anyone is or has used BTC/BitPay in conjunction with FanDuel or DraftKings? I'm just surprised that these gambling outlets don't have more of a connection with bitcoin, or a straight connection (like not having to use BitPay).
This adds yet another reason why I've never been a big fan of Fanduel (have never used Draft Kings or BetMGM).
Any insight is appreciated!
