FanDuel and GeoComply have renewed their partnership in a multi-year deal that extends GeoComply’s geolocation technology across FanDuel’s entire product lineup. The agreement also keeps identity verification and fraud-prevention tools in place, and GeoComply will assign dedicated engineers to work with FanDuel’s product and operations teams.
In a release on Aug. 17, GeoComply said the renewal deepens the use of location and device intelligence, behavioral signals and real-time fraud detection. It also combines KYC and identity verification tools with enhanced diligence to help FanDuel verify customer eligibility, speed registration, strengthen compliance safeguards and prevent fraudulent activity before it occurs.
As reported in July, FanDuel had added Alberta to its Canadian footprint. This latest renewal spans the company’s full product lineup. FanDuel said it has about 17 million customers and is live in 26 U.S. markets, plus Ontario and Alberta in Canada.
The companies said their relationship goes back 13 years, to FanDuel’s daily-fantasy-sports days before its U.S. sportsbook launched in 2018. GeoComply chief executive Kip Levin said the two firms have grown up together from FanDuel’s first regulated state to nationwide scale, building on shared signals for fraud and abuse detection, frictionless authentication and market insights.
GeoComply said it has handled billions of player checks for FanDuel, with 99.7% pass rates and 99.999% service availability across peak Super Bowl traffic, multi-state launches and an evolving regulatory landscape. The deal was also presented against the backdrop of FanDuel’s defense of its VIP program before federal lawmakers, while U.S. legal gaming heads into football season’s high-volume acquisition and engagement period. Biometric Update said the NFL season kicks off on Sept. 9.
