Some sports have chosen to partner with official betting sites to provide fans with the latest odds on their favorite games. But not the NFL. Other sports like the PGA TOUR and NASCAR are still undecided. Unless a team has an official betting partner yet, these sites can’t market themselves outside of the local area. That being said, it’s possible for local teams to maintain a relationship with official betting sites and still be considered an official sportsbook.
NFL teams have yet to designate official betting partners
Since February, the NFL has signed betting partnership deals with DraftKings, FanDuel, and Caesars. These deals grant these companies exclusive access to NFL content and pave the way for betting content to appear on NFL Network broadcasts this fall. However, NFL teams have yet to designate official betting partners. It is unclear whether betting partnerships will be a major source of revenue for teams. A new deal between the NFL and Vegas-based sportsbook Caesars has inked with the league will bring a new revenue stream to NFL teams.
NHL
In addition to the traditional NHL regular season and playoff games, you can place bets on the Stanley Cup Finals. In addition to straight bets, NHL sportsbooks offer props, in-play betting, “to win the series,” and outright Stanley Cup bets. NHL sportsbooks adjust odds throughout the season and tighten as a team is eliminated. To bet on the NHL Finals, you must use an official NHL betting site.
PGA TOUR
Official betting on the PGA TOUR is a growing industry. After the Supreme Court decision, sports betting has been legalized in most U.S. states. From 2020 to ’21, the amount of wagers placed with PGA Tour official betting operators increased by 50 percent. That growth will likely continue in the future, and PGA Tour officials expect it to grow even further. Here are some reasons to bet on PGA Tour golf games.
NASCAR
Despite the growing popularity of betting on stock car races, most fans have never actually wagered on a race. For this reason, NASCAR has developed an official sportsbook that offers fans over 25 different in-race bet types and a dynamic live betting experience in regulated states. The resulting product is designed to be easy to use and offers a streamlined experience for fans. In addition to the official sportsbook, NASCAR has also created its own betting app.
FIH
The FIH has just signed a partnership with BetCity to provide official betting data. Similar deals have been made with the NHL and PGA TOUR, both of which are high-profile sports. By signing an official betting data agreement with an official sports book, the FIH has ensured that players are able to access betting data that is reliable and unbiased. These partnerships also increase the level of player security and transparency.
DraftKings
The Philadelphia Eagles have announced that DraftKings has been named the Official Sports Betting and Daily Fantasy Sports Partner of the team. The partnership will give the daily fantasy game provider the exclusive naming rights to the Field Club at Lincoln Financial Field, which will feature on-field viewing areas and an authentic VIP experience. The Field Club will open to ticketed guests on September 11th. The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the NFL’s most exciting franchises, and DraftKings is thrilled to be working closely with them to promote their game.
