FanDuel is organizing a day of complimentary highway tolls and public transportation fares later this month.
FanDuel, known for its retail and online sports betting as well as iGaming operations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, has announced that on December 18, the company will cover rides on the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) train connecting New Jersey’s Newark and Hoboken to New York City.
The same day, free rides on the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority’s (SEPTA) Broad Street “B” Line will also be covered by FanDuel. Furthermore, FanDuel will pay for tolls for motorists passing through the Pleasantville Toll Plaza on the Atlantic City Expressway.
Daniele Phillips, FanDuel’s vice president of marketing, mentioned, “This exciting opportunity by FanDuel Casino demonstrates our ongoing commitment to the brand and engaging customers with exciting experiences. We aim to show people the thrill of winning on FanDuel Casino, while also providing other great experiences like free rides and tolls.”
The FanDuel promotion will be available all day on December 18 on the Atlantic City Expressway, from 8 pm to 11 pm for PATH rides, and from 6 pm to midnight along the B Line. Participation is open to all rides and drivers, regardless of being FanDuel customers.
