\"\"The Fox Corporation is lining up a move to increase their stake in FanDuel<\/a> as the company sees the huge potential for sports betting in the US.<\/p>\n

Rupert Murdoch the media tycoon who controls Fox already has an involvement in FanDuel and Fox Bet through a previous arrangement with the Stars Group prior to their merger with Flutter Entertainment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indeed Fox Bet was developed for the media company but has not grown in the way that FanDuel has and now Mr Murdoch wants more of the action in FanDuel.<\/p>\n

According to reports the Fox Corporation will increase their stake in FanDuel by some 20% later this year through an agreement with Flutter. Mr Murdoch and his company already is one of the largest stakeholders of the Flutter Group with a 2.5% share of the online gambling firm worth \u00a3650 million.<\/p>\n

With sports betting in the US growing rapidly<\/a> and FanDuel being the largest operator in the US already it is clear that Fox Corporation see it as a great opportunity. At present Fanduel is larger by revenues than their second and third placed competitors combined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
