AP agrees to make BetMGM its official odds provider
FanDuel’s partnership with AP as the official odds provider, originally agreed upon in 2021, has come to an end.
The Associated Press (AP) has announced an agreement that will make BetMGM the official provider of sports betting odds across the site’s global sports report. BetMGM is currently available in over 20 US states and territories around the country.
Through the newly formed partnership, BetMGM’s odds will appear in AP’s daily sports odds fixtures, game previews and other sports stories where odds are mentioned. Editorial control of all content will remain with AP as per the agreement as well.
“It is a special opportunity for BetMGM to align with AP, a leading global news source that billions around the world rely on for the most up-to-date coverage,” BetMGM CRO Matt Prevost said.
“Being a trusted resource within that forum is an important connection to expand our reach, and we look forward to providing content that enhances the organization’s coverage.”
This isn’t the first sector of media BetMGM has reached an agreement with, as the operator secured a deal in early 2024 with social media platform, X, to bring sports betting statistics and odds to the site. The collaboration is meant to showcase betting odds on the site while providing a direct link to BetMGM, allowing users to place wagers.
“People want trustworthy sports betting information, and we are pleased to work with BetMGM to provide a dependable and credible reference point for our customers and audiences,” AP Director of Global Text and Commercial Products Barry Bedlan said.
FanDuel was announced as AP’s official provider of sports betting odds in 2021, but it has now been confirmed by AP that partnership has ended. Before that, AP had been using odds from sports betting site, Pregame, for six years.
