Your benefits go above and beyond, providing you with an employee assistance program and subscriptions to digital financial wellness and meditation platforms.

Private Medical Insurance (PMI)
In addition to your NHS cover, FanDuel provides you and your family with private medical cover administered by Bupa. FanDuel pays the full cost of PMI on your coverage, but you pay taxes on the amount. You can also upgrade to cover your spouse or partner and your children (until the renewal following their 24th birthday).
The Bupa medical plan covers eligible conditions and treatments administered by Bupa providers in Bupa facilities, or via Bupa’s virtual care service, including:
- Outpatient consultations and diagnostic procedures
- Inpatient treatment
- Cancer care
- Mental health services
To enrol, complete the PMI Request form. You may join the UK PMI on the first of each month.
To add a spouse or child, complete the PMI dependant enrolment form.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Sometimes, the crowd noise is too loud. The EAP through Unum is available to talk you through major and minor life issues—and provide extra support when needed.
The EAP offers virtual counseling to help you overcome whatever is on your mind. This service is 100% paid by FanDuel for you and your family members, up to four sessions per issue per year. When you use the EAP for mental health support, remember that your private medical insurance through Bupa also covers visits with Bupa mental health professionals.
Use the EAP for support with:
- Anxiety, depression, stress, or grief
- Legal matters
- Financial concerns
- Career conversations
- Work conflicts
- Family issues
- Anything else on your mind
To use the EAP, visit Unum online, call 0800 048 2702, or download the Unum app on the App Store or Google Play.
Pension Scheme
We’re planning your retirement party already—even though we hope you stick around with FanDuel for a long time. Together, you and FanDuel contribute a percentage of your salary during your career to give you reliable income once you stop working.
Once you’ve completed your three-month probationary period at FanDuel, you’re automatically enrolled in the pension scheme. Your default contribution is 4% of your salary, which you can change twice a year, in April and September. If you contribute at least 4% of your salary, FanDuel adds additional 5%. Feel free to contribute as much as you’d like. Just keep in mind that only the first £60,000, between your contributions and FanDuel’s, receive tax relief.
To manage your pension, you must set up an account with Aegon. You’ll receive an email from Aegon once you’ve completed your probationary period. To view and manage your pension scheme, log into your Retireready account. To change your contribution amount, send an email to Human Resources indicating your desired contribution amount and the date you want the change to occur.
Financial Support
Money is complicated. Don’t feel like you’re supposed to automatically know the right way to manage your today money, your just-in-case money, and your retirement money. It takes research and practice. nudge is here to help.
A comprehensive financial resources library, nudge demystifies the confusing world of personal finance. Once you answer a few questions about your situation, nudge develops a financial education plan for you. Use it to get your savings on track, manage your debt, or plan for retirement.
Your membership to nudge is 100% covered by FanDuel. Sign up on the nudge website.
Life Insurance
Death is a difficult, but important, subject when you’re thinking about your family’s financial security. If something serious happens to you, your life insurance, administered by Unum, kicks in and protects your loved ones. It pays a lump sum to your trustee in the event of your death.
The life insurance benefit paid to your trustee is equal to four times your salary. You must designate a trustee for your life insurance benefit. Name or change your trustee anytime on Unum’s website.
Mortgage Assistance
Owning a home is about so much more than having a roof over your head. Your home is a place for friends and family to gather, to cherish each other, and to make memories. A symbol of your hard work (and a guarantee of further work). An expression of yourself. An investment.
Managing real estate is tricky business. To take the pressure off, FanDuel offers 100% free mortgage advice from the expert brokers at Charles Cameron & Associates. Get advice on buying your first (or second, or third) home, moving, refinancing, leasing, and more. Book a free consultation or explore a mortgage resource library on the Charles Cameron & Associates website.
Commuter Benefits
FanDuel puts the “sport” in “transportation.” The game? Giving you as many ways as possible to save on your commute.
Cycle to Work
Get a workout, be a friend to the environment, and save money all at once. Through the Cycle to Work Scheme, administered by Cyclescheme, you could save a third of the price on a new bike or bike equipment. All biking expenses are tax-free and deducted from your paychecks until paid off.
To get started, visit a Cyclescheme retailer and choose a commuting package. Then, request a certificate from the retailer and sign an agreement online. FanDuel will be in touch after with next steps.
Travel to Work
Don’t derail your finances if you take the train to work. The Travel to Work Scheme gives you an interest-free loan to cover your train ticket for the year. FanDuel deducts the total cost in 12 instalments from your monthly paycheck.
To get started, fill out the Travel Loan Application Form. Email your completed form to Human Resources.
Car Purchase Assistance
Buying a vehicle is a major expense. The Car Benefit Scheme, administered by Tusker, can make it easier for you.
The scheme allows you to lease a new vehicle, built to your specifications, and pay a fixed fee each month through salary sacrifice. That monthly amount also includes your auto insurance, maintenance costs, routine servicing, road taxes, 24-hour assistance, and more.
You’re eligible for the Car Benefit Scheme if you’re a permanent employee who has completed three months of service at FanDuel. To start picking out your vehicle, visit the Tusker website.
Upgrade Your Gadgets
Is your refrigerator older than most university students? Maybe your university student needs a new laptop to take to school?
These days, technology is an essential, but expensive, part of life. That’s what the Tech Loan Scheme is here for. When you need a new phone, computer, appliance, or other tech product, all you need to do is shop with our partners at Stormfront.
Here’s what to expect:
- 12 monthly payments for your purchase via salary sacrifice
- 0% interest and up to 12% savings on National Insurance contributions
- A minimum purchase amount of £200 and maximum amount of £5000 per year
