00:03
- Let's move over to Fanatic,
00:04
a company that's trying to kind of work their way
00:08
into the sports betting stratosphere here in 23 and 24.
00:11
I found the story that you guys had
00:13
on Legal Sports Report very compelling
00:15
and I wanna learn more.
00:16
What's going on here?
00:17
Fanatics is able to stream NFL games through their app.
00:21
How does this work?
00:23
- Yeah, so it's part of a deal that they have
00:27
with Genius Sports, which is the provider
00:32
of official league data for the NFL.
00:36
If you recall, Caesar's app did this last season.
00:41
No official announcement from Fanatics on this,
00:46
but obviously Sam Quillen over at Legal Sports Report
00:51
wrote the story and had some pretty solid intel
00:54
that they are in fact streaming games
00:58
through the Fanatics Sportsbook app
01:01
in Massachusetts, Maryland, Ohio, and Tennessee,
01:05
where they operate under that Fanatics Sportsbook brand.
01:10
Now, of course, Fanatics bought out
01:16
the US assets of PointsBet.
01:18
So as these PointsBet app starts to become more popular
01:23
and starts to make that transition over,
01:25
it's important to mention that if you're in a state
01:29
where it's the PointsBet by Fanatics experience,
01:34
those apps are not streaming these NFL games.
01:39
So like Sam mentioned in the article,
01:43
you have to place a wager, at least a dollar,
01:46
on one of the NFL games and it needs to be airing
01:50
in your local market.
01:53
So if it's a local team or one of the prime time games,
01:57
you'll be able to stream that game right in the app.
02:00
And of course, this is a big part of the tech conversation
02:05
when it comes to sports betting,
02:07
the immediacy, right?
02:09
How quickly can we live bet a game?
02:12
What's the latency between the online feed
02:14
coming through the app or over the TV?
02:17
So certainly something interesting to keep an eye on
02:20
as we move forward and see how this expands.
02:24
It's likely that DraftKings and FanDuel
02:27
are working on doing the same thing
02:31
or at least something similar.
02:33
So more content in the hands of sports bettors
02:38
and we're starting to see those trends from the tech side
02:42
and from the live betting capability.
02:45
So something that we'll be watching
02:48
over at LegalSportSupport
02:50
and hopefully we get some more information on this
02:54
in the coming weeks and months.
