The National Football League (NFL) has entered April without any official sportsbook partners for the first time since 2021, as its agreements with FanDuel, DraftKings, and Caesars expired on March 31 without renewal. This development comes as the league faces increased scrutiny over in-game betting practices, particularly microbetting.
Negotiations with FanDuel and DraftKings stalled due to a pricing dispute over official streaming data provided by Genius Sports, the NFL's exclusive real-time data partner. Caesars was not expected to renew its deal regardless of the data pricing issue. Meanwhile, the Public Health Advocacy Institute has filed a lawsuit against the NFL, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Genius Sports, alleging that their microbetting platforms are engineered to be addictive, drawing parallels to tobacco industry litigation.
The NFL remains open to exploring new partnership structures, potentially with a single operator, as it navigates the growing legal challenges and the evolving sports betting landscape.
