Fox partnered with Canadian online gambling company The Star Group to launch Fox Bet in 2019. The relationship between the partners changed when Star was acquired by Flutter. Fox sued Flutter in 2021 in a case related to exercising its option to buy the 18.6% stake in FanDuel, one of the world's biggest fantasy sports companies, as both parties differed on the price of the stake.
