Barstool Sports Opening a New Office in Chicago
Media company Barstool Sports is opening its second office in Chicago.
The company has leased a warehouse at 400 N. Noble St. near Fulton Market. The office will be 40,000 square feet with a basketball court, studios for recording music and cooking content, a golf simulator and more. Barstool also has a Lakeview office and a themed bar in River North.
Debra Duffy, a spokesperson for Barstool, said some of the company’s Chicago and New York City employees will relocate to the West Loop office while others will remain in Manhattan.
Barstool started in 2003 and has grown to become a large media company with podcast and video series, blogs, events and more focused around sports, pop culture and sports gambling.
Jackpocket, the leading lottery app in the US, and Barstool Sports announced a new collaboration naming Jackpocket as the “Exclusive & Official Digital Lottery Partner of Barstool Sports”. The deal with Barstool follows Jackpocket’s parent company, DraftKings, announcing a similar agreement with the media company in February 2024.
“Barstool is an American entertainment powerhouse that Jackpocket fans know and love. This collaboration allows us to reach our players directly and bring Jackpocket’s easy, convenient lottery experience to more like-minded Americans. We’re excited to bring fans opportunities to have fun and potentially win big with the best in the business,” said Peter Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Lottery at DraftKings.
“Everyone knows we’re teamed up with DraftKings, and now we’re excited to be bringing Jackpocket into the mix. Our relationship is all about making it super easy for our fans to get in on the action, no matter where they are. What’s better than being able to play the lottery, and potentially win the jackpot, straight from your phone. Jackpocket makes it simple and fun,” said Barstool Sports founder, Dave Portnoy.
This collaboration centers around the integration of Jackpocket in Barstool’s content. Fans can participate in the lottery alongside some of Barstool’s biggest names such as Dave Portnoy, Big Cat & PFT from Pardon My Take – the leading sports podcast in America, Wallo & Gillie from Million Dollaz Worth of Game and more. Jackpocket will work closely with the Barstool team to continue to bring new content, activations and opportunities to win cash and Jackpocket credits to its fans.
Jackpocket is also the exclusive partner of the NHL, MLB, NFL, and major media companies such as Gannett, Z100, and more.
