Formula 1® announces FanDuel as new Official Betting Operator in multi-year deal

Formula 1® has today 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 United States 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."
