“Football season is an exhilarating time for fans, and we are committed to delivering an unparalleled sports betting experience all season long,” Mike Raffensperger, President of Sports at FanDuel, said in the press release. “As we continue to raise the bar with new product features that allow fans to engage with the NFL in new ways, we’re also thrilled to again partner with YouTube to offer a NFL Sunday Ticket free trial to our customers, providing an NFL betting experience only available with FanDuel.”

YouTube TV operates the NFL Sunday Ticket, which allows fans to watch out-of-ticket NFL games on Sundays. FanDuel, which recently ruled out applying a surcharge to U.S. bettors, is the only U.S. sportsbook that partners with YouTube and offers a three-week free trial of NFL Sunday Ticket to customers who bet $5.

FanDuel also has announced that it has revamped the Player Pages tab, allowing fans to view player performance trends and place prop bets. The operator has overhauled the Quick Bets tab and added new prop bets, such as players catching a pass and defensive props.

In addition to these promotions and features, FanDuel has launched a new brand campaign called “Hunches,” which stars Eric Andre. Judy Greer, Dolph Lungren and Jon Lovitz.

The announcement of FanDuel’s latest innovations comes just days after its parent company, Flutter Entertainment, reported increased revenues in the second quarter.
