As part of the agreement, NBCUniversal now owns an equity stake in PointsBet and has made the company the exclusive sports betting partner of NBC Sports.
PointsBet will now see a slight reduction in the ad spending requirement it currently operates under. The company had $90 million per year under the original deal, and according to Axios that figure will come down to $58 million.
The goal is to help PointsBet focus on advertising in the 14 states it’s licensed in to operate a sportsbook.
