FanDuel has become the official betting operator of Formula 1 in the US and Canada.
It is the first time that the sport has signed up a betting operator for the region. Under the agreement, FanDuel’s platform and data will be added to Formula 1’s digital platforms, including its website and mobile app.
Fans in eligible jurisdictions will be able to bet at FanDuel on a range of outcomes, including race winners, podium finishes, and head-to-head driver matchups. Other betting options are expected to be introduced later in the current season.
Formula 1 Director of Commercial Partnerships Jonny Haworth said, “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.
