FanDuel has launched its sportsbook in New Jersey. The company has joined hands with Amazon Echo and other Alexa devices to offer the new service. Users can pick the winners of the NFL season using the service.

Users can access the new Alexa skill, FanDuel: Pick 6, and predict the outcomes of upcoming NFL games for the weekend. If the user gets all the six answers correct, they get a free entry into a FanDuel tournament worth $1,000.

This could be the first time a betting service is available on a home sharing device.

How it works

Available now for Amazon’s entire lineup of Echo devices, users first ask Alexa to enable the game then ask her to “open FanDuel.” Users will then be prompted with six questions about the upcoming games.

Questions for last Monday’s matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos included:

“Will the Chiefs score in each quarter of the game? (They did.)”

“Will Emmanuel Sanders total over 100 receiving yards? (He didn’t.)”

Get all six questions right and FanDuel will provide a code via email, enabling users to enter the following weeks Alexa Pick 6 $1K Free Play Tournament.
