NFL Has No Official Sportsbook After Deals Expire

Talks hinge on the price of NFL data from Genius Sports.

Overview

  • The league’s five-year agreements with DraftKings, FanDuel, and Caesars ended without renewals, leaving no official sportsbook.
  • DraftKings and FanDuel remain in negotiations, and Caesars is not seeking a new deal.
  • Negotiations bogged down over higher fees for official in-game data that Genius Sports exclusively supplies.
  • Because DraftKings and FanDuel dominate U.S. betting, they hold more leverage in these talks.
  • The NFL says it is open to different partnership models, including a single exclusive partner or multiple partners.
