As the sports betting market continues its rapid expansion across the United States, we’re seeing more and more sportsbooks partner up with the biggest teams in the country. The latest high-profile partnership has been announced today, as FanDuel has become the official betting partner of the New York Yankees.
What’s Involved in FanDuel’s NY Yankees Deal
As the official sports betting partner of the New York Yankees, FanDuel will be able to host VIP hospitality accommodation at Yankee Stadium and will have advertising displayed behind home plate during televised games. The two brands will work to integrate their brands to make the betting experience more fan-focused.
“We hope that FanDuel’s Yankee Stadium presence and customer engagement will continue to strengthen its brand as a sports betting operator within the tri-state area” – says Michael Tusiani, Senior Vice President of Partnerships for the New York Yankees.
NY is a Winning Market for FanDuel
It makes sense that FanDuel would want to expand its presence in New York, as it has quickly become one of the most profitable betting markets in the United States. In March 2022, over $1.6 billion was wagered in New York with FanDuel controlling 41% of the entire state’s handle.
Partnering with the New York Yankees is a sure-fire way to increase those numbers. On average, each Yankees game attracts 24,000 in-person attendees and nearly 300,000 television viewers. It’s also one of the most recognizable sports brands in the world, which is sure to boost FanDuel’s profile even outside of the baseball community. p
