Genius Sports Limited announced an expanded agreement with FanDuel Group to deliver its transformative BetVision streaming solution.
FanDuel, America’s leading sports betting operator, will unveil BetVision as part of its premium NFL offering through Genius Sports.

In the future, this partnership will give FanDuel the opportunity to integrate BetVision’s other key features including integrated betting odds, in-game betting alerts alongside data-driven augmentations and the ability to place live bets within the video player. Since launching in September, BetVision has been shown to increase in-game wagers, customer engagement and drive retention while providing sportsbook customers with unique personalization options.
“As an Official Sports Betting Partner of the National Football League, we’re continuing to look for ways to elevate the betting experience on our platform for fans during every game. Partnering with Genius will allow us to pair our industry-leading product with access to BetVision to build a seamless live betting experience for fans,” Mike Raffensperger, Chief Commercial Officer at FanDuel, said.
