Livvy Dunne Explains Why Fanatics Sportsbook is 10X More Rewarding This Tournament
Fanatics Sportsbook, the fastest growing sportsbook in America, is bringing the madness to March with a bold new tournament campaign starring Livvy Dunne, but this time, there’s not just one of her – there are ten, one for every reason Fanatics Sportsbook is 10X more rewarding this tournament. The campaign lands during one of the most electric moments in basketball and focuses on what resonates most with fans: generosity, meaningful rewards, and timely offers when excitement is highest.
At the center of the campaign is a new installment of Fanatics Sportsbook’s popular “Explained By” series, building on Dunne’s football-season debut for the brand and expanding the franchise to basketball’s biggest stage. Set on a basketball court, the spot opens with Dunne talking straight to camera before multiplying into ten versions of herself, playing, shooting, debating picks, and filling the stands, visually bringing the campaign’s core message to life in an unexpected, cinematic way.
“Livvy brings the energy of the Tournament: confident, competitive, and deeply connected to the next generation of fans. As a challenger brand, Fanatics Sportsbook is rewriting the category playbook by showing up in the biggest moments with a fresh point of view combined with industry-leading generosity. This campaign is about making the tournament more rewarding and culturally relevant in a way only Fanatics Sportsbook can,” said Selena Kalvaria, Chief Marketing Officer at Fanatics Betting and Gaming.
Throughout the spot, Dunne introduces Fanatics Sportsbook’s 10x-more-rewarding tournament offer, including 10 profit boosts every game day, a new-customer incentive of up to $1000 in bet matches and FanCash during the first 10 days, all culminating in the brand’s signature message: Winning Hits Different Here.
A former college athlete, cultural powerhouse, and proud member of the Fanatics family, Dunne is a natural fit to lead the brand’s Tournament moment. This campaign reinforces Fanatics Sportsbook’s long-term commitment to partnering with personalities who authentically connect with fans and show up in unexpected ways.
Beyond the ad, the campaign will roll out across a high-impact, multi-channel ecosystem, including:
• Social-first content featuring Livvy Dunne
• 10x Profit Boosts every single tournament game day
• High-impact out-of-home placements in key markets
• $100,000 in FanCash giveaways throughout the tournament
• FanCash Pickup activations, including a feature with Joakim Noah
• Strategic gifting and surprise-and-delight moments for fans.
The campaign will run throughout the Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments across TV, online video, social, digital, out-of-home, and influencer activations, continuing Fanatics Sportsbook’s momentum as a brand that delivers a premium, fan-first experience that goes way beyond the bet.

Bet on Kendall
Kendall Jenner Puts the Internet’s Favorite Kurse to the Test in Fanatics Sportsbook’s & Fanatics Studios’ First Big Game Ad
Fanatics Sportsbook, the fastest growing sportsbook in America, is betting on Kendall Jenner with the launch of its first-ever Big Game commercial and Jenner’s first Big Game advertising campaign, “Bet on Kendall.” The campaign is the first production from the recently launched Fanatics Studios, the groundbreaking joint venture between Fanatics and OBB Media. Bolded, OBB’s branded entertainment division, served as the creative studio.
In the spot, Kendall leans into the long-running internet joke that any basketball player who gets close to her is subject to …consequences. Fueled by memes, real-life coincidences, and fan speculation, the so-called ‘Kardashian Kurse’ isn’t denied, but rather addressed head on, with Jenner making reference to her previous basketball boyfriends. With a wink and a nod, Jenner reveals that while the internet has been speculating about the Kurse, she’s been doing something far more strategic (and likely Kris Jenner approved): betting on it.
Set in a “kursed” mansion on a hill, the 30-second ad, which will air during halftime, and 90-second digital spot blend sharp comedy with high-gloss visuals and faceless exes as Jenner explains how she’s turned her rumored effect on men into winning bets on Fanatics Sportsbook. The result is a flirtatious, self-deprecating take on sports fandom that invites viewers to take a side… betting with her or betting against her on Fanatics Sportsbook once her pick for the Big Game is live.
Selena Kalvaria, Chief Marketing Officer at Fanatics Betting and Gaming, said: “The magic of this campaign is how Kendall Jenner transforms the lore of the Kardashian Kurse into something playful, participatory, and unmistakingly of the moment. With Fanatics’ unparalleled cultural influence in sports, ‘Bet on Kendall’ is the perfect way to bring Fanatics Sportsbook into the spotlight with Fanatics Studios and our incredible partners at OBB Media.”
“As our first official Fanatics Studios project since launch, ‘Bet on Kendall’ is exactly the kind of storytelling we are excited to be creating at Fanatics and OBB: content at the intersection of sports and culture, fit for the biggest stage in sports entertainment,” said Michael D. Ratner, Founder & CEO of OBB Media and CEO of Fanatics Studios.
The 360-degree campaign rolls out across multiple formats, including a 30-second broadcast spot airing during the Big Game, a 90-second extended digital film, short-form social cutdowns, and a high-impact out-of-home program that brings the “Kursed?” conversation into iconic real-world settings, all anchored by the campaign line “Bet on Kendall.” Fans are encouraged to follow along as Jenner makes her pick for sport’s biggest game and decide whether to bet with her or against her exclusively on Fanatics Sportsbook and earn a 100% profit boost on their bet, truly embodying its tagline: “Winning hits different here.”
Fans nationwide can “Bet on Kendall” using the Fanatics Sportsbook app beginning on Thursday, January 29.
“Bet on Kendall” is a campaign for Fanatics Sportsbook, starring Kendall Jenner, produced by Fanatics Studios and OBB Media. Bolded, OBB’s branded entertainment division, served as the creative studio.
“Bet on Kendall” was executive produced by Michael D. Ratner, Scott Ratner, Kfir Goldberg, Simone Spira, and James Rowe for OBB, alongside Kendall Jenner, with Matt King, Selena Kalvaria, Johnny Dantonio, and Michael Fitzsimmons executive producing for Fanatics Sportsbook. The commercial was directed by Michael D. Ratner and Cameron Harris, with Ratner having conceived the concept.

We’ve lined up some amazing guests who have those same experiences – career-defining moments that fans still talk about today. This season is all about going deeper into those stories and connecting with the fans who remember these glory days just as vividly as we do. It’s about celebrating the moments that shaped the sports we love.”
