The newly launched FOX Bet announced a multiyear partnership to make the platform an authorized gaming operator of Major League Baseball. Through their new agreement, FOX Bet, which is accepting bets in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, can now use MLB logos and Statcast data feed on their app in those states.
“We continue to see a great appetite for the FOX Bet app as well as FOX Sports Super 6,” said Robin Chhabra, CEO of FOX Bet. “Having a partnership with MLB enables us to use official MLB data and league marks, providing a better experience for our customers and comes just in time as the League Championship Series and the World Series kick into high gear.”
FOX Bet joins FanDuel, DraftKings and MGM Resorts as the four authorized betting operators of Major League Baseball. Developed by FOX Sports alongside The Stars Group, the betting app and platform combines the ability to make live wagers content and insight from elite FOX Sports personnel.
“Adding The Stars Group and FOX Bet to our authorized gaming operator program continues our vision for ensuring we are serving fans with opportunity and choice,” said Kenny Gersh, MLB Executive Vice President, Gaming & New Business Ventures. “Our official data feed, including real time and reliable game statistics, and league marks will enable The Stars Group to build unique and engaging gaming products around our sport.”
