International Game Technology PLC announced that it recently renewed a multi-year retail sports betting agreement with FanDuel, North America’s premier online gaming company and an operating unit within Flutter Entertainment plc. Under the terms of the agreement, IGT PlaySports will continue as the exclusive retail sports betting platform provider for FanDuel’s retail sportsbooks across North America for four additional years, starting September 1, 2024. IGT PlaySports and FanDuel have worked together since 2019, when FanDuel opened its first sportsbook in the US at The New Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in New Jersey.
“For more than five years, IGTPlaySports’ team and technology have helped FanDuel’s retail sportsbook operation deliver a best-in-class customer experience while helping us maintain our position as America’s #1 Sportsbook. Given IGT’s experience as a global land-based casino supplier, we believe it offers the experience and capabilities we needed supporting our retail locations,” said Christian Genetski, President of FanDuel.
“IGT PlaySports looks forward to supporting FanDuel as its exclusive retail sports betting platform provider in North America for four additional years. IGT PlaySports is committed to helping our customers realize the full potential of the retail sports betting market and differentiate their products through exceptional player experience and reliable technology,” said Joe Bertolone, IGT Senior Vice President of Sports Betting.
