As of my knowledge cutoff in early 2023, FanDuel, like many other sports betting and fantasy sports, and gambling companies, typically has policies in place that restrict or prohibit their employees from participating in certain betting activities, especially those related to the company’s business.
Employees of FanDuel are generally not allowed to place bets on the sports or events that the company offers for betting to the public. This is to avoid any potential conflicts of interest, insider trading, or the appearance of impropriety. Such policies are often part of the company’s code of conduct and are designed to ensure the integrity of the betting markets and the company’s operations.
However, employees may be allowed to participate in fantasy sports contests that are run by other companies, as long as those contests do not violate any company policies or local laws. It’s also possible that employees could engage in certain types of betting that are not related to their work or the company’s offerings, provided that such activities are legal and comply with the company’s policies.
It’s important to note that these policies can vary, and they may change over time. Employees should refer to the most current company policies and guidelines or consult with their HR department for specific information regarding their own situation. Additionally, laws regarding sports betting and fantasy sports can differ by jurisdiction, which may also impact what employees are allowed to do.
