The Major League Baseball deal with DraftKings is the latest major sponsorship for the DFS operator. Moving forward, the company will be the league’s official gaming partner. Despite initial opposition, MLB has been actively involved with gaming companies, including a partnership with MGM Resorts International signed at the end of 2018.

DraftKings remains the largest fantasy betting companies in the United States, with properties in New Jersey and Mississippi, and another offer coming up in West Virginia.

As a result of the partnership, DraftKings will be allowed to use league data and leverage the brand’s power by using the MLB’s logos. Commenting on the situation, Head of Business at DraftKings, Ezra Kucharz, had the following to say:

“DraftKings is proud to be designated as a Major League Baseball Authorized Gaming Operator. This deal speaks to the commitment we have to our customers and sports leagues alike while providing the safest and most entertaining American-made sportsbook. As a result of this agreement, our customers will experience enhanced live wagering offerings for all MLB games.
