Formula 1 has announced FanDuel – the premier online gaming company in North America – as its latest Official Betting Operator. The partnership marks the first time Formula 1 will partner with a betting operator in the US as it looks to expand its betting portfolio, pairing the global sport with the country’s leading sportsbook.

Through the partnership, FanDuel’s 17 million US and Canada customers will be able to access its market-leading platform, real-time insights and betting context throughout each race weekend, while its content will be integrated into Formula 1’s age-gated Betting Guide and editorial material across its website and app. The new deal enables eligible fans to get closer to the action than before and experience the sport through even more interactive channels.

Fans will be able to engage with the sport with a wide range of betting options relating to their favorite teams and drivers, including race winners, podium finishes, and head-to-head driver matchups, with additional ways to wager to be announced later this season.

Jonny Haworth, Director of Commercial Partnerships, Formula 1, said: “We’re delighted to welcome FanDuel as our new Official Betting Operator in the United States and Canada – markets that continue to increase their love and engagement with Formula 1. As sports betting becomes an increasing component with how fans, especially in the US, interact with sport, it’s vital we have a strong and well-placed partner to deliver our strategy and fuel our momentum across the market. With tens of millions of fans across the country, FanDuel is yet another avenue that eligible fans can enjoy and experience the thrill of Formula 1.”

Karol Corcoran, Managing Director of FanDuel Sportsbook, said: “Being named an Official Betting Operator of Formula 1 marks an exciting step forward as we enhance our sportsbook product to deliver more interactive experiences for fans. Formula 1 generates an incredible amount of real-time data, and our platform is built to turn that into engaging betting opportunities for fans. This partnership will allow us to deliver even more immersive, data-driven experiences throughout the race weekend.”

FanDuel has announced a new partnership with the Toronto Tempo, becoming its first official iGaming partner.

This multi-year agreement brings together two brands committed to expanding women’s sports in Canada. Through this collaboration, FanDuel positions itself as the best Sportsbook and Casino for fans to engage with Canada’s women’s team, bringing them closer to the action and women’s basketball than ever before.

“Partnering with the Toronto Tempo in their inaugural season is an exciting opportunity for FanDuel customers and basketball fans. As a company that shares the same passion for community and empowering women’s sports, we are proud to support a new franchise that will celebrate fans and elevate women’s professional sports in Canada,” said Tom Burdakin, Vice President of Marketing at FanDuel.

“One word to describe this partnership is transformative. Welcoming FanDuel marks a significant milestone for our organization as we continue to build Canada’s first WNBA team and deepen fan engagement,” said Lisa Ferkul, Chief Revenue Officer at Toronto Tempo.

FanDuel has had a front row seat to the growth of women’s sports in recent years as a proud official partner of the WNBA. Through this partnership and FanDuel’s best in class WNBA offering, fans can engage in more ways than any other platform from tip-off to buzzer.

As the first Sportsbook and Casino partner, FanDuel and the Toronto Tempo will bring exclusive fan initiatives to FanDuel’s customers, as well as in-arena visibility and digital activations to connect fans with the excitement of the WNBA both on and off the court.
