FanDuel has renewed its strategic partnership with Evolution to continue offering the supplier’s portfolio of live casino content and slots across the US for three more years.
As a result of the extension, FanDuel will continue to offer slots from Evolutions roster of in-house studios NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, and Nolimit City, marking the second deal renewal between the two firms.
Jacob Claesson, Chief Executive Officer of Evolution North America, said: “We are thrilled to extend our successful partnership with FanDuel, providing players with the very best in online casino entertainment.
“FanDuel’s trust in Evolution highlights our shared commitment to growing the live casino market and creating a truly immersive experience for players across North America.”
In addition to slot releases provided by Evolution, FanDuel will also continue to offer live casino products through the deal extension, leveraging Ezugi’s catalogue of content, another one of Evolution’s subsidiaries.
The partnership officially began back in 2020 when Evolution first offered FanDuel its collection of live casino products.
Asaf Noifeld, Managing Director of FanDuel Casino, added: “FanDuel Casino is the leading casino operator in the US, offering the largest selection of exclusive live casino tables in the market.
“Expanding our partnership with Evolution for live casino and RNG games enables us to consistently provide a top-tier experience to our customers. We look forward to our continued growth in the live casino sector.”
Evolution will be pleased to continue offering its various slot catalogues across the US with FanDuel as the supplier’s igaming content performs consistently well in the nation – as reported in our coverage of Eilers-Fantini performance reports.
Evolution led the Eilers-Fantini supplier charts for consecutive months in October, securing the largest portion of GGR share with 18% (September: 17.9%).
PokerStars has added another team from the National Hockey League (NHL) to its list of partners, as the Philadelphia Flyers are collaborating with the Flutter Entertainment online poker brand.
As an official sponsor of the NHL team, PokerStars branding will be visible during the Flyers’ home games at the Wells Fargo Center and in TV spots during broadcasts.
The poker brand’s players will also gain a chance to win tickets to games and signed team memorabilia via special poker tournaments and monthly sweepstakes on PokerStars Casino.
“We are thrilled to partner with such a beloved hockey team,” commented Rob Battista, Senior Director of Commercial at PokerStars North America.
“Hockey fans are some of the most passionate in the world, and we can’t wait to collaborate with the team to bring exciting tournaments and rewards to our communities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.”
The Flyers aren’t the only NHL team that PokerStars has partnered with, as the online poker brand also has partnerships with the Detroit Red Wings in the US state of Michigan and Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment in the Canadian province of Ontario, the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL) and the Toronto Raptors (NBA).
Todd Glickman, Chief Revenue Officer of Comcast Spectacor, added: “We’re excited to welcome PokerStars to the Flyers family.
“Their dedication to innovation and giving epic rewards and experiences to their players aligns perfectly with our goals on engaging our fantastic community of fans.”
Earlier this month, PokerStars’ parent company Flutter released its Q3 financial results, reporting an uptick in revenue and adjusted EBITDA. In the US, revenue increased by 51% compared to the same period the previous year to $1.3bn (2023: $828m).
