IGT renewed FanDuel agreement through 2028
International Game Technology PLC (IGT) renewed its sports betting agreement with FanDuel for an additional four years.
IGT and Fanduel started to work together in 2019 when FanDuel launched its first sportsbook at The New Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in New Jersey. Since then, both IGT and FanDuel have worked together to expand FanDuel’s presence in the U.S. retail sports betting market. Later, in 2020, IGT became FanDuel’s exclusive provider of retail sports betting in the US.
With a newly extended agreement, IGT PlaySports will continue its partnership with FanDuel for retail sports betting through 2028.
Christian Genetski, FanDuel President, commented:
“For more than five years, IGT PlaySports’ 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.”
The extended agreement notes that every FanDuel Sportsbook relies on IGT’s innovative tools, such as self-service kiosks and betting pads, to offer players a smooth and engaging betting experience.
In addition to leveraging the IGT PlaySports platform, FanDuel Sportsbook offers players a range of self-service betting technologies, including the IGT PlaySports Kiosk and IGT PlaySports Pad.
Joe Bertolone, IGT Senior Vice President of Sports Betting, said:
“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.”
Now, IGT’s technology supports 27 FanDuel Sportsbooks in 20 different gaming markets.
