In the United States, FanDuel closed its retail sportsbook at Phoenix’s PHX Arena due to poor performance, shifting focus to its lounge model that offers kiosks. Meanwhile, DraftKings took a political step by creating a dedicated Political Action Committee to influence legislation and tax policies that impact the industry, amid rising regulatory pressures and legislative challenges across states.
FanDuel has decided to shutter its PHX Arena retail sportsbook in Arizona, citing poor results.
In Phoenix, FanDuel has decided to close its retail sportsbook at PHX Arena in Arizona due to disappointing financial performance. Despite significant investment in facilities, the location failed to attract sufficient foot traffic, largely because of the shift toward mobile betting and declining interest in in-person betting.

Meanwhile, DraftKings has taken a significant step by creating its own Political Action Committee (PAC), named the DraftKings Inc.

The company's formation of a PAC aligns with similar actions by competitors like MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment, highlighting the growing political engagement within the gambling industry. Concerns over prediction markets and potential federal legislation, such as the SAFE BET Act, also seem to motivate DraftKings’ political strategy.
