Partnership integrates FanDuel odds and contextual markets into Real's live experience and creates a new way for FanDuel to connect with the next generation of sports fans
With over 1.5 million monthly active users, Real App has grown by making the live sports experience more immediate, interactive and social. Members use the app to track games and player performances in real time, react to key moments and debate what happens next with other fans.
"Our members are already using Real to track and discuss their bets in real time, and they've been requesting live odds," said Louis Antonelli, co-founder of Real. "Partnering with a trusted brand like FanDuel gives us a new layer of real-time sports data that we can surface in ways that are additive to the Real experience for members interested in betting."
FanDuel odds, markets and related visualizations will appear across Real game feeds, play level views, player performance screens, team box scores and other real time surfaces. Contextual markets will be surfaced around key game moments, with links that take eligible users directly to the applicable FanDuel experience. The design will pair familiar FanDuel odds presentation with Real's native interface, providing additional context without disrupting the experience that has made Real a natural gathering place for digitally first sports fans. The initial integration will begin for the start of the 2026 NFL season with a commitment to further integrations in the future.
"Some of the best parts of being a sports fan happen around the game - talking about what just happened, debating what comes next and sharing those moments with other fans," said Christian Genetski, President of FanDuel. "Real has built a great community around that experience. We're excited to work with them and find new ways to make FanDuel a natural part of how fans follow and engage with sports."
FanDuel and Real encourage fans to enjoy sports responsibly and are both committed to ensuring entertainment remains the primary focus of the experience. FanDuel odds and related features will be optional, and members will be able to disable them through their Real app settings. FanDuel is deeply committed to promoting responsible gaming and has developed comprehensive tools to help its customers set appropriate limits and engage safely with its platform.
