FanDuel, a leading US sports betting operator, has published key statistics about its customers’ betting and deposit habits on a newly released 'Fast Facts' page. The data provides insight into how users engage with the platform, though FanDuel has not specified the time period covered by the figures.
Key figures from FanDuel's report
The median sports bet placed by FanDuel customers is $5, indicating that half of all bets are at or below this amount. For parlay bets within a single match, the average wager is $14. The data also shows that 90% of these parlay bets are $30 or less, while 60% do not exceed $5. On average, customers who bet on sports deposit funds less than once per week.
Implications for the industry
These figures suggest that the majority of FanDuel’s betting activity comes from low-stakes wagers. The difference between the median and average parlay bet values points to a small number of higher-value bets influencing the average. For operators and affiliates, this trend underlines the importance of catering to casual bettors who prefer smaller stakes and may deposit infrequently, rather than focusing solely on high-rollers.
Reliability of the data
All figures were published by FanDuel and have not undergone independent auditing. As such, while the data offers a useful snapshot, it should be interpreted with caution until further verification is available.
Key takeaways
- Half of all FanDuel sports bets are $5 or less.
- Most single-match parlays are low-stakes, with 60% at $5 or below.
- Average deposit frequency for sports bettors is less than once a week.
- Figures are self-reported by FanDuel and unaudited.
