Key points:
- Evolution Group and FanDuel Casino have extended their pre-existing agreement
- Evolution will continue to act as the platform’s sole live dealer games supplier
- The partnership extension arrangement adds an extra three years to the pre-existing deal
Supplier Evolution Group has announced a new three-year partnership extension with FanDuel Casino, which will see the supplier continue as the casino’s sole live dealer games provider.
As per this latest extension to the pair’s pre-existing arrangement, players on the FanDuel platform will retain access to a range of Evolution gaming content such as slots from NetEnt, Nolimit City and Red Tiger. The partnership, which was originally drawn up in 2020, has already seen Evolution’s full portfolio of live dealer games become integrated to the FanDuel Casino platform.
After making its live casino studio debut in the Czech Republic last month, Evolution also made moves in the North American market, which saw Crazy Time launch in Michigan, as well as a new partnership with Atlantic Lottery in Canada. More recently, the company posted its Q3 2024 results, revealing a revenue figure of €579m ($612m) for the period.
Evolution North America CEO Jacob Claesson, commented on this latest announcement, saying: “We are thrilled to extend our successful partnership with FanDuel, providing players with the very best in online casino entertainment. FanDuel's trust in Evolution highlights our shared commitment to growing the live casino market and creating a truly immersive experience for players across North America."
For FanDuel, this latest deal comes in the wake of an additional hybrid dealer games partnership arrangement reached in October between the operator and Inspired Entertainment. Towards the end of Q3, FanDuel also helped further introduce Greentube to the US market, launching its portfolio in Michigan and New Jersey.
Asaf Noifeld, Managing Director of FanDuel Casino, also spoke about this latest deal, saying: "FanDuel Casino is the leading casino operator in the US, offering the largest selection of exclusive live casino tables in the market. Expanding our partnership with Evolution for Live Casino and RNG games enables us to consistently provide a top-tier experience to our customers. We look forward to our continued growth in the live casino sector.”
While Evolution and FanDuel are partners for live casino, meanwhile, Playtech and MGM earlier this year formed a competing partnership. We spoke all about it on the Huddle.
