You'll need this information to get started:
- First and last name
- Home address
- Date of birth
- Phone number
- Last four digits of your Social Security Number
There is a possibility you'll need to provide FanDuel a photo of your driver's license if FanDuel cannot confirm your identity, but that shouldn't delay you long.

What sports can I bet on for Michigan online sports betting?
Michigan is full of sports fans because of the huge array of teams, many of them with histories of glory.
Every major professional sports league is represented, Michigan and Michigan State compete in the storied Big Ten conference and scores of other universities abound as cheering, and now, betting options.
Michigan's big four professional sports teams have fabled histories and rabid fanbases, but all of them are in some vestige of … let's call it rebuilding, meaning bettors might have to put their loyalty aside when making either pre-game bets or wagers after the games have already started.
The most successful of Michigan's professional sports teams are the Detroit Red Wings, whose 11 Stanley Cup championships are the most for any American National Hockey League team.
In the National Basketball Association, the Detroit Pistons are three-time champions, but the golden age, make that 'Bad Boys' age of Isaiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn is long over and the team hasn't won a playoff game since 2004.
The Detroit Tigers, who have fielded lineups including Hall of Famers Jack Morris and Alan Trammell, continue to rebuild in Major League Baseball, but a highly regarded crop of rookies at least portends of better summers ahead. They might be a perfect place to dabble in futures wagering. More on that momentarily.
Oh, and those Detroit Lions continue to slog away. At least the National Football League franchise in Honolulu Blue has the national spotlight on Thanksgiving, if that's a good thing.

How about the league MVP or which college star will be the top draft pick in the NBA draft? Bettors can make wagers on these markets before the season even begins or as it's underway (the odds are better for you the earlier you bet) and then wait to see how they pan out. It's getting paid for seeing something before anyone else.
