FanDuel appointed as first-ever sportsbook and prediction market partner of Real App

FanDuel has been named the first-ever official and exclusive sportsbook and prediction market partner of Real App, integrating the operator’s odds and contract markets directly into the social sports application. 

"Our members are already using Real to track and discuss their bets in real time, and they've been requesting live odds," Real App Co-Founder Louis Antonelli said. 

"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."

The social sports app provides real-time play-by-play and stats to help drive user engagement, with FanDuel odds and markets set to appear on game feeds, play level views, player performance screens, box scores and other real-time surfaces. 

The partnership will make its debut in time for the start of the 2026-2027 NFL season, while both parties maintain a “commitment to further integrations in the future.” 

FanDuel President Christian Genetski – who took over leadership in May – also spoke on the inaugural collaboration, having said, "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. 

"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 was one of three operators to receive a new multi-year partnership agreement with the NFL, alongside Fanatics Sportsbook and DraftKings. 

In a similar move to FanDuel’s collaboration with Real App, Kalshi formed a new partnership with prediction market data aggregation platform Oddpool on September 3 to help expand consumer access to its event contract markets.

Oddpool currently aggregates and analyzes data from markets offered by both Kalshi and Polymarket, providing “real-time odds, historical data and arbitrage opportunities” for traders and analysts.
