FanDuel+, the over-the-top streaming service, will be available on platforms like Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire.<\/p>\n
But FanDuel TV won\u2019t just offer sports betting and sports talk. The company intends to air thousands of hours of live sports content on the network and streaming service. A deal with Sportradar will allow FanDuel TV and FanDuel+ to carry pro basketball from Australia, China, France, and Germany.<\/p>\n
\nFanDuel TV is the first network designed from the ground up to be watched by viewers with their phone in hand,\u201d<\/strong> said Mike Raffensperger, Chief Commercial Officer, FanDuel. \u201cWe intend for FanDuel TV to sit at the intersection of live sports and interactive content and believe Kay is the best example of an on-air talent who can bring fans closer to the narratives of the games they care about most. Our goal is to provide fans compelling programming to watch and wager on in tandem with our mobile app.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nKevin Hennessy, FanDuel\u2019s director of publicity, told Casino.org<\/i> Thursday the company has no plans for the time being to pursue contracts with major sports leagues in North America.<\/p>\nHorse Racing Still a Focus<\/h2>\n
While FanDuel will take over TVG, that does not mean it\u2019s going completely away from horse racing. The network will continue to cover racing, including meets at some of the top tracks in the county.<\/p>\n
\u201cTVG has been the undisputed leader in the horse racing space for the past 20 years, and the launch of FanDuel TV creates an exciting new platform for the next 20 years,\u201d added Raffensperger. \u201cFanDuel TV and FanDuel+ will accelerate the renaissance racing is enjoying and repackage the sport for a new generation of mobile-enabled fans, while also bringing new leagues and sports to the US market.\u00a0 We plan to offer more live sports than any network in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

The launch of FanDuel TV comes at a time when the sport of horse racing is looking at ways to integrate itself with the sports betting community. Monmouth Park in New Jersey unveiled fixed-odds wagering on its races earlier this year. In addition, fixed-odds may soon become available in Colorado and Louisiana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Beyond that, Churchill Downs Inc. and NYRA<\/a>, two heavyweights in racing, are working together to get pari-mutuel wagering on horse racing and sports betting platforms.<\/p>\nFanDuel currently operates an advanced deposit wagering service built off of TVG\u2019s platform. It also sponsors races at Kentucky Downs and has sponsored a Breeders\u2019 Cup race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
