Supporting the growth of women’s sports, FanDuel was an early adopter of featuring video highlights of women’s tennis across its digital platforms.

The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) and FanDuel Group, a premier online gaming company announced Tuesday an extension to FanDuel’s multi-year agreement as an authorized gaming operator for the Hologic WTA Tour in North, South and Central America.

Supporting the growth of women’s sports, FanDuel was an early adopter of featuring video highlights of women’s tennis across its digital platforms and ushering women’s tennis into the gaming movement for Western regions.

FanDuel has successfully showcased the next evolution of data-driven touchpoints and trusted betting products for WTA fans allowing tennis in the Americas to join the growing engagement opportunities surrounding fantasy sports. As the agreement extends, the WTA will continue to grant FanDuel access to its trademarks and official scoring data through its official data supplier, Stats Perform.

“Our extension with FanDuel represents the WTA’s ongoing commitment to innovation,” the President of the WTA, Micky Lawler, said. “As we continue to diversify how fans consume and engage with sports, we’re pleased to have a gaming operator who not only shares our vision to strengthen the exposure of women’s tennis but who is dedicated to developing responsible gambling standards and practices that allow fans to do so in a fun and safe way.”

“This partnership has given us the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with the WTA to develop new and exciting products that have increased engagement and excitement for women’s tennis,” the Strategic Partnerships Vice-President for FanDuel, Clifton Ma, said. “FanDuel is committed to supporting women in sports and this partnership has been a key pillar of that commitment as we’ve worked with the WTA to celebrate key women’s initiatives through unique storytelling opportunities.”

Such storytelling has included celebrating the 50th anniversary of Title IX in 2022, to highlighting International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month through various video series. In addition, the collaboration also sees FanDuel have access to WTA hospitality at various tournaments and recurring social media posts throughout the season.

FanDuel will continue to promote safe and responsible gaming and the availability of prevention, treatment and recovery resources.

NASCAR and nVenue, Bring Groundbreaking Live Probabilities to In-Season Challenge Broadcast for Fans Watching Live Racing

Published

The past month marked a pivotal moment in NASCAR’s push toward innovation as NASCAR and nVenue worked to deliver a new way to watch the race. Using nVenue’s in-race betting product to focus on head-to-head matchups, nVenue’s real-time predictive probabilities for each matchup were integrated into the race broadcast.

NASCAR and nVenue have worked together since 2023 and recently reached a multi-year agreement to extend their partnership. As a data partner, nVenue has built a live betting product that allows fans to bet on hundreds of markets during races. nVenue worked with NASCAR to build out live head-to-head markets for each matchup of the In-Season Challenge.

nVenue integrated its proprietary artificial intelligence and machine learning platform for live sports with the In-Season Challenge broadcasts. The integration kicked off during the opening race of the In-Season Challenge and continued throughout the Challenge, delivering a new level of real-time insight directly into the broadcast experience.

At the same time, fans across the world were able to place bets in real-time on head-to-head driver matchups, stage winners, and dozens of new in-race markets, marking a historic first for the sport.

Behind the scenes, nVenue’s commitment to execution was on full display. Co-Founder and Chief Sports Officer, Bruce Sears, was in the production control room for the opening race, working hand-in-hand with multiple teams and resources required to bring the integration to the air.

“nVenue has been a fantastic data partner. One of the great things about nVenue’s partnership is in addition to the live betting product it has built, nVenue has the ability to turn odds into probabilities that can be shown on live broadcasts to further promote fan engagement. This lined up well with the format of the In-Season Challenge, allowing us to provide fans with a way to follow the live probabilities of each matchup throughout every lap of the race,” said Joe Solosky, NASCAR, Managing Director, Sports Betting.

“nVenue’s real-time predictive probabilities came to life during live NASCAR racing to provide a richer experience of the sport, for fans watching, betting, or both. The nVenue platform meets the incredibly demanding speed and precision required for motorsports, but also sets a new standard for fan engagement and in-race betting. It’s a testament to our team’s unparalleled expertise in bringing such complex, data-driven innovation to market at scale. Innovation has only just begun, and we are excited to continue this work with leagues, media, and sports betting to bring these worlds together for the best experiences in live sports,” said Sears.

With broadcast, betting, and data now converging on race day, this collaboration between NASCAR and nVenue is signaling the future of how fans engage with the sport, one lap at a time.
