FanDuel Becomes Exclusive Sportsbook Partner for Real App's 1.5M Users

New York – September 15, 2026 -- FanDuel has been named the first Official and Exclusive Sportsbook and Prediction Market Partner of Real App, integrating live odds and contextual betting markets directly into the social sports platform's real-time feeds starting with the 2026 NFL season.

Real App brings 1.5 million monthly active users to the FanDuel integration

Real App, built around live play-by-play tracking and fan conversation, counts over 1.5 million monthly active users and 1.1 million daily active users across 18 leagues including the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB and WNBA. Users on the platform have logged 4.8 billion minutes in the past 12 months, with concurrent users surpassing 250,000 during close games and more than 70% of monthly active users returning on major game days.

FanDuel odds will appear across game feeds, box scores and player performance screens

The partnership embeds FanDuel odds, markets and visualizations into Real's game feeds, play-level views, player performance screens and team box scores. Contextual markets tied to key game moments will link eligible users directly to the FanDuel platform, with the odds presentation designed to match Real's native interface without disrupting the fan experience.

"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. FanDuel President Christian Genetski said the deal aims to make FanDuel "a natural part of how fans follow and engage with sports."

Both companies frame the deal as optional, with disable settings for members

FanDuel and Real App positioned the integration as optional, allowing members to disable the odds and market features through Real's app settings. The companies cited responsible gaming tools as a core component of the rollout, emphasizing that entertainment remains the primary focus of the experience.

FanDuel expands reach into digitally-first fan base ahead of NFL season kickoff

The initial integration launches with the start of the 2026 NFL season, with both companies committing to further integrations across Real's platform in the future. FanDuel operates as a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment (NYSE: FLUT), the world's largest sports betting and gaming operator.
