FanDuel's Player Account Management System and Casino are powered by GAN, a leading North American B2B technology provider of real money internet gaming solutions. The FanDuel Casino will launch with over 250 titles in live dealer, random number generation, and slot games to enjoy. Payment processing partner Nuvei will provide fans with seamless payment options, with one single point of integration for customer payment needs and multiple payment options, including Interac, PayPal, MasterCard and Visa. FanDuel has also partnered with Napier, an intelligent AML solutions provider, utilizing their platform to ensure full financial crime compliance and safer gaming.
