ESPN: NFL renews DraftKings, FanDuel deals, adds Fanatics
The NFL on Thursday announced new sportsbook partnerships, with Fanatics joining DraftKings and FanDuel as official betting operators of the league.
The multiyear partnerships provide the sportsbooks with access to official league data, the ability to advertise during games and intellectual property rights for league and team marks and logos.
As part of the deals, DraftKings, FanDuel and Fanatics will collaborate with the NFL on what types of bets are offered, intelligence sharing, advocacy efforts and responsible gambling initiatives. The league objects to bets tied to officiating and injuries or any wagers that can be knowable in advance or easily manipulated by a single person.
