FanDuel Acquires BeyondPlay for an Undisclosed Sum

Flutter’s sports betting and fantasy sports brand FanDuel has acquired the iGaming software startup BeyondPlay in a strategic deal. While the monetary aspect of the arrangement was not disclosed, executives expressed their excitement about the deal.

BeyondPlay was founded in 2021 and offers a jackpot management system and multiplayer software. The first solution allows the company’s clients to create customized jackpot campaigns, while the second one enables consumers to join shared casino sessions.

BeyondPlay boasts licenses in the United Kingdom, Ontario and Malta and currently supplies software to many leading iGaming companies, such as LeoVegas, Casumo and ComeOn.

Following the conclusion of the deal, BeyondPlay and its solutions will be integrated into FanDuel Casino.

FanDuel Casino, for reference, has cemented itself as one of the leading iGaming brands in the United States. The brand commanded an impressive market share of 26% in Q4 2023 and continued to attract more and more players.
