It’s official! NFL expands its partnership with FanDuel in Canada.
According to the company’s press release, FanDuel will become an official sportsbook partner of NFL betting in Canada.
FanDuel Canada president Dale Hooper told PlayCanada.com:
“Each and every partnership matters to us at FanDuel, so joining forces with the NFL is a big one! We’re ready to tap into the passion and excitement that Ontario’s sports fans have for the NFL. We are very excited, and can’t wait to start another great NFL season.”
Expanding the existing partnership
Now that FanDuel announced a multi-year agreement with the NFL, two parties will expand their existing US partnership across the northern border. Thanks to this deal, the operator will have the right to use official NFL and member club IP.
FanDuel will also have the right to create “NFL-themed, free-to-play games and run NFL-themed campaigns” to enhance the league and its visibility. It will also allow FanDuel Sportsbook Canada to use various ways to boost fans’ engagement and connect with sports supporters.
As Hooper shared:
“There’s a lot of passion for the NFL in Canada and it’s only been increasing over the last few years. We wanted to build a deeper connection with those fans and will be able to do so with this new partnership.”
The exciting opportunities for FanDuel members will also include a chance to win trips to NFL games—involving the most-exclusive event, the Super Bowl. Other player benefits are also included in the mix.
FanDuel ads to be featured across multiple TSN and NFL platforms
FanDuel’s advertising will feature prominently on NFL-operated digital platforms, including NFL.com.
“We are excited to be working with the NFL and our existing partners at TSN to bring new integrated opportunities and exciting ways to engage with the NFL. It’s going to be a great season.
“We want to offer Canadian NFL fans an experience that is unlike anything else on the market and this partnership allows us to engage fans in a variety of new and exciting ways both through our app and while viewing at home or with their friends on TSN.”
FanDuel has a partnership with TSN, the NFL’s television broadcast partner in Canada. It means players can also expect in-game sports betting experiences presented by FanDuel.
FanDuel committed to player protection
In backing the NFL’s commitment to protecting the integrity of the game and its supporters, FanDuel will follow the NFL’s core integrity policies. The operator will also work with the NFL on intelligence sharing and use official League data.
FanDuel seconds it is critical to lead from the front on responsible gambling and safer play. Following FanDuel Group’s reputation in North America for responsible gaming, the operator will put safer play at the forefront of its entry into Canada.
FanDuel will utilize its “Play Well” approach to ensure no wagers are placed on any platform that would hurt players or their loved ones.
