Why FanDuel Stands Out in Vermont
FanDuel is the US mobile sports betting market leader by handle and revenue, and its product polish shows: Same Game Parlay was popularized by FanDuel and remains its calling card. In Vermont, FanDuel made the most aggressive financial commitment of the three operators; agreeing to a 33% revenue share, two points above DraftKings and Fanatics; when bidding for one of the state's three licenses in late 2023.
Welcome Offer & Bonus Mechanics
FanDuel's Vermont welcome offer is "Bet $5, Get $300 in Bonus Bets if your first bet wins." Unlike DraftKings (which credits bonus bets win-or-lose), FanDuel only triggers the $300 if your qualifying bet settles as a winner. The headline payout is the largest among Vermont operators, but the conditional structure means a smaller share of new accounts actually receive it.

Deposits, Withdrawals & Payment Methods
FanDuel supports debit card, ACH bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, online banking, Apple Pay, and Play+ prepaid card in Vermont. Minimum deposit is $10. Withdrawals back to PayPal or Venmo can settle in under 24 hours; ACH and card refunds typically take 1–3 business days.
Sports & Markets
FanDuel offers the full US-regulated market slate, with particularly deep prop coverage on NFL, NBA, and NHL; useful for Vermont bettors given the dominance of Boston pro franchises in local action. As with all Vermont operators, FanDuel cannot offer player props on UVM Catamounts games per state law; spreads, totals, and moneylines on UVM remain available.
The 33% Revenue Share; Why FanDuel Pays Most
Vermont's H.127 set a 20% statutory minimum revenue share but allowed bidders to offer more during the licensing process. FanDuel offered 33% to maximize its chance of winning a license in a deliberately small (three-operator) market. That commitment is why FanDuel sometimes runs leaner promotional offers in Vermont than in lower-tax states; the math of customer acquisition is different at 33% than at 13%.
Responsible Gambling on FanDuel
FanDuel offers in-app deposit, wager, and time limits, plus self-exclusion. Vermont bettors who want to block themselves from all licensed operators at once should use the VT DLL state-wide self-exclusion. Help: 1-800-GAMBLER or Vermont 211 (dial 211).
