Fanatics Sportsbook’s First Team Deal in Women’s Sports
Washington, D.C. (September 12, 2024) – The most rewarding sportsbook is coming to Washington, D.C. on September 12 with an assist from the Washington Spirit, the premier professional women’s soccer team based in Washington, D.C. Fanatics Betting and Gaming has entered into a partnership agreement to become the team’s Official Sports Betting Partner and secure market access for its online sports betting platform.
This is Fanatics Sportsbook‘s first team sponsorship deal with a professional women’s sports organization. The Washington Spirit is an inaugural member of the NWSL and home to some of the best players in the world who have won championships for both club and country. Currently in second place in the NWSL, the Spirit features numerous gold medalists, global award nominees, league champions and rising stars.
“As we continue to build out our sports betting business, we are excited to partner with the Washington Spirit,” said Ari Borod, Chief Business Officer, Fanatics Betting and Gaming. “We will look to grow the Fanatics Sportsbook alongside the growing popularity of women’s soccer and women’s sports generally across the country.”
“We’re excited to announce our groundbreaking partnership with Fanatics,” said Washington Spirit CEO Kim Stone. “This is another indication of the momentum surrounding the Spirit and women’s sports. This collaboration gives us the chance to enter the sports betting space with a trusted brand, all while staying true to our commitment to integrity, empowering women, and creating better experiences for our fans.”
This partnership will include in-stadium activations, including pre-match trivia and a halftime penalty kick, giving Spirt fans a chance to win FanCash, along with stadium signage and digital marketing assets.
Sports fans living in and visiting Washington, D.C. can now download the app on iOS and Android to begin their Fanatics Sportsbook experience. Fanatics Sportsbook is now 10x more rewarding than the leading sportsbooks* and has introduced some exciting product upgrades, including:
- Building a better sportsbook: The design, speed and quality of the navigation experience rival the sports betting apps in the market today that were not built specifically for iOS and Android. For customers in Maryland and Virginia, a connected wallet will no longer interrupt service while in the District.
- Responsible Gaming – Fanatics Sportsbook offers customers responsible gaming tools and has partnered with Birches Health Platform to provide online treatment for customers looking to manage their play.
- FanCash: Customers can now earn up to 10% FanCash back on their bets, win or lose. The bigger the odds, the bigger the FanCash rewards to spend on jerseys, hats, Bonus Bets, and more.**
