International Game Technology (IGT) has renewed its multi-year agreement to serve as the exclusive retail sportsbook platform provider for FanDuel across North America.
The renewal will see IGT PlaySports continue to power all of FanDuel’s new and existing retail sportsbooks across the United States for a further four years through to 2028.
The two companies have worked together since 2019 when FanDuel opened its first retail sportsbook in the US at The New Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment in New Jersey.
“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 number one sportsbook,” said FanDuel president Christian Genetski. “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.”
Joe Bertolone , IGT senior vice president of sports betting, commented: “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.”
IGT PlaySports technology currently powers 27 FanDuel sportsbooks in 20 jurisdictions.
