DC Council votes to open up sports betting market

During a D.C. Council meeting, members decided to keep a budget amendment that would let the district let several operators into its online sports betting market.

This suggests that FanDuel's brief but lucrative monopoly on online sports betting in Washington, DC, may be coming to an end.

As of right now, FanDuel is the only online sportsbook that works with the D.C. Lottery to operate in the city. The Lottery's contracted operator, Intralot, subcontracts that right to the Flutter-owned brand.
