With the legalization of sports betting across the U.S., NASCAR was in need of an official betting solution and data product to provide its fans with a unique experience. We created a first-of-its-kind official betting product that allows sportsbooks to accept bets on every lap of every race. Thanks to our data-powered solution, fans across the regulated states of America can engage with live racing action like never before.
On June 5, 2019, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed a bill to make sports betting legal in Illinois. In July of that year, DraftKings Sportsbook became the first “Official Betting Operator” and the “Official Daily Fantasy Game” of the PGA TOUR. DraftKings will be able to use official NBA betting data from the league’s other partners, including Genius Sports and Sportradar.
The legalization of sports betting in Virginia was part of a larger movement towards increasing gambling options in the state. In November 2018, citizens voted to legalize five land-based casinos. Currently, sports betting in Virginia is only available online, but that is expected to change in September 2021. The state expects to have five apps in the early stage. Once all of these sportsbooks are operational, it will be an exciting time for the state.
