FanDuel to offer sports betting at Greenbrier Resort
The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia will join hands with FanDuel to offer sports betting operation. A press release from FanDuel confirmed the development:
“We are honored to be chosen to provide sports wagering services at The Greenbrier, an iconic resort in the U.S. As we work towards building out a top sports betting product for the upcoming NFL season, we look forward to bringing West Virginia residents, sports fans, and visitors to The Greenbrier the best interactive sports experience on the market.”
The deal is the first sports betting partnership confirmed in WV and the first one anywhere for FanDuel.
West Virginia sports betting regulations approved.
The state’s lottery, which will administer West Virginia sports betting, approved last week emergency regulations to facilitate a launch by fall. Those regulations open the door to online and mobile sports betting, hugely important to a successful state market.
West Virginia legislators passed sports betting into law in March. The law allows the state’s five casinos to offer legal sports betting in exchange for a $100,000 licensing fee and ten per cent of revenue paid in taxes.
No integrity fees go to the pro sports leagues in West Virginia despite intense lobbying from MLB and NBA executives. Lawmakers declined to put in the fees, then, fought off an attempt by Gov. Jim Justice to reopen the law to insert them soon after passage.
Greenbrier’s plans for WV sports betting
The press release lays out the full game plan for WV sports betting at The Greenbrier:
The Greenbrier plans to have an onsite wagering platform inside The Casino Club at The Greenbrier, America’s only private casino, as well as a FanDuel-branded online site and mobile application. Plans are to have the services running by the fall. The exact date will be contingent on when the state of West Virginia’s regulations are put in place.
Regulators expect to have the industry ready for launch by September 1 at the latest. Operators can partner with up to three online/mobile platform providers apiece.
The property’s president, Dr. Jill Justice, said: The Greenbrier is excited to offer a new guest amenity. “The Casino Club at The Greenbrier has been an attractive destination for our guests and members since its opening,” she said, “and sports betting provides yet another element to the casino experience.”
It remains to be seen whether the platform will be available statewide or exclusively to members and guests of the private club. A members-only sports book would seem to be both in line with The Greenbrier’s culture and a hinderance to potential revenue.
The NFL will love having sports betting next door
The NFL continues to fight for control of a legal sports betting market it may not have wanted in the first place; it was one of the litigants in the US Supreme Court case, supporting the federal ban, a case it lost. Now, fans at an NFL training camp could be placing mobile sports bets on who will win the Super Bowl.
The Houston Texans hold their training camp at The Greenbrier, which is owned by the family of Justice. The governor allowed the law authorizing West Virginia sports betting to go into law without his signature because of the conflict of interest.
The Greenbrier is also the host of an annual PGA Tour event, scheduled this year for July 5–8.
FanDuel deal still has not closed
The announcement of a sports betting deal for FanDuel comes with slightly strange timing. The DFS operator is not the middle of being acquired by Dublin-based gaming company Paddy Power Betfair.
That deal could close as soon as early July.
FanDuel, by itself, has no known means to provide a sports betting product on its own, so this deal is almost certainly predicated on the PPB deal closing in short order. The deal would close, in theory, well before West Virginia launches sports betting — mobile and otherwise — officially.
PPB subsidiary Betfair US has also formed its own partnership with Tioga Downs (New York) and Meadowlands Racetrack (New Jersey), planning to use the FanDuel brand in those two states, too.
It is not exactly clear why the WV partnership was inked with FanDuel directly, while the other sports betting partnerships have been crafted through PPB.

There are thousands of bets placed on Betandyou every single day. Some place small bets, some go big, and sometimes someone hits a win that stands out from everything else.
That’s exactly what happened this November – one of our players placed just $12 and hit a life-changing $54,719 payout!
What Happened Before the Big Win
It all started like any ordinary bet. Football filled the screens – Manchester, Barcelona, Milan, Porto.
The player with ID 6301********, a part of our community since June 2023, opened the Betandyou app and placed his usual pick. No big stake. No drama. Just a regular moment of excitement for the game.
The Four Predictions That Changed Everything
A $12 accumulator and four football matches. Most impressively, exact score predictions – something you don’t see every day and a true sign of confidence. And here’s how the night unfolded:
- Manchester City – Bournemouth: 3–1
- Barcelona – Elche: 3–1
- Milan – Roma: 1–0
- Porto – Braga: 2–1
One by one, the results started to fall into place. The first two games, perfect 3:1 calls. Then Milan held Roma to 1:0. And finally, Porto sealed it with a 2:1 win. Four matches. Four exact scores.
4560 Odds: A Moment You Can’t Predict
- Total odds? 4560.
- The payout? That’s $54,719!
When the final whistle blew, the numbers on the screen told a story we don’t see every day, the kind of win that makes your heart skip a beat and your hands tremble just a little before hitting “Check balance.” That’s the kind of moment every bettor dreams about, when the impossible suddenly becomes reality.
CEO Betandyou: Official Comment
“Wins like this always draw attention,” says the CEO of Betandyou. “But what excites us even more is the story behind it. Our players don’t just bet, they feel the game. They analyze, they take risks, they follow their passion. This win isn’t just luck; it’s the perfect mix of intuition, strategy, and a love for football. At Betandyou, we live for moments like these, because every big win starts with a small belief.”
More Than Just Numbers
This player has been with us for more than a year, and this time their loyalty, patience, and boldness paid off in the best possible way. It’s not really about the amount – it’s about that feeling when your choices turn into something real. When your screen lights up and you realize that yes, you just did that.
At Betandyou, that magic happens every day, sometimes quietly, sometimes spectacularly. But one thing is certain: there’s always another story waiting to be written.
So who knows? Maybe the next headline will be yours.
Stay in the game with Betandyou!

This year has seen an explosion in uptake of the service, with strong uptake globally, with Brazil, the UK, the US, Romania, Canada, Kenya and South Africa showing the highest levels of engagement.
BetBlocker’s Founder and Managing Trustee, Duncan Garvie had this to say:
“We invested a lot in 2024 improving our data, to allow us to communicate accurately the performance of our project to our supporters, and to build confidence via transparency. That’s meant ensuring that our data is exactly what we say it is and a focus on making our data easy to understand. We don’t talk about downloads. The number would be higher, but far less meaningful. When we talk about “active users” it means “users with an active BetBlocker restriction in 2025.”
I’ve been blown away by the rate of growth that BetBlocker has seen this year. We would never have imagined that this type of growth was possible at the start of the year, but the rapid and sustained upward trend strongly evidences that there is a huge need for free and anonymous support for gambling harm.
That uptake is distributed so broadly across the globe also demonstrates how universal the need for support managing access to online gambling services is in the digital age.”
