NEW YORK and BOSTON, March 24, 2022 — Today, FanDuel Group, the premier online gaming company in the United States, announced the launch of FanDuel Faceoff, a casual game experience in partnership with Game Taco, the nation’s premier skill-based game platform company. FanDuel Faceoff will offer customers the opportunity to play casual games against one another for fun and the chance to win cash and other prizes. At launch, FanDuel Faceoff will be available in 32 states in the U.S.
Available on iOS, FanDuel Faceoff gives players the chance to compete through their existing FanDuel accounts. Players will have the opportunity to compete in head-to-head games, multi-player games, and other special events for cash prizes. FanDuel Faceoff features four popular Game Taco titles for launch: Grand Slam Superstar, Wheel of Fortune, King’s Crossing, and Block Trail.
“As we continue to diversify our product offerings to offer new ways to engage our customers, we are delighted to partner with Game Taco to create and launch FanDuel Faceoff,” said John Griffin, Senior Vice President, Sports Commercial FanDuel Group. “Game Taco’s history as a pioneer in the space operating the WorldWinner franchise will provide our customers access to many well-known casual games.”
The multi-year, exclusive partnership between the two companies gives FanDuel access to Game Taco’s expansive content library, which will become available to customers as new titles are added to the FanDuel Faceoff platform, or new games are designed by Game Taco.
“FanDuel Faceoff introduces casual skill-based games to a built-in audience that likes to compete for cash prizes,” said Josh Barrow, CEO of Game Taco. “Our games are all fun, entertaining, and easy to play, but difficult to master. We look forward to adding more games, platforms, and tournament styles and making casual games of skill an integral part of the FanDuel entertainment ecosystem.”
