Fubo Sportsbook has reached an agreement with NASCAR to become an authorized gaming operator for the league. The gaming deal is Fubo’s first in auto racing and will see Fubo’s mobile sports betting app promoted at NASCAR race tracks.
Fubo, which began as a sports streaming service before forming its gaming subsidiary earlier this year, plans to launch its Fubo Sportsbook app in Q4 of 2021. The company has also recently signed gaming sponsorships with the New York Jets and Cleveland Cavaliers .
“Whether it’s the casual viewer or die-hard race fan, Fubo Sportsbook’s innovative approach to sports wagering brings a more exciting experience for our audience as they’re able to interact with the sport in new ways,” Joseph Solosky, managing director of sports betting at NASCAR, said in a statement.
FuboTV began its pivot to become a betting operator in January when it bought sports betting startup Vigtory. Fubo plans to launch an interactive experience that merges its betting app with its live sports streaming platform.
