FanDuel and the social sports app Real have announced an integration that will put FanDuel odds and betting markets into Real’s live-game experience, including for users in Pennsylvania. Eligible users who select a market will be directed to the applicable FanDuel product, but must still satisfy the operator’s account, location and eligibility requirements before they can wager.
The companies announced the exclusive partnership on Sept. 10. Real has named FanDuel its first official and exclusive sportsbook and prediction-market partner, according to the announcement distributed by PRNewswire.
FanDuel odds, contextual markets and related graphics are to appear in Real game feeds, individual play views, player-performance pages and team box scores. The companies said markets will be surfaced around key moments as games develop, combining FanDuel’s established odds display with Real’s native interface and live statistics, commentary and fan discussion.
The initial integration was announced for the start of the 2026 NFL season. Although Real covers 18 leagues, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, WNBA, college sports and global soccer, the companies have not set out a timetable for further sports or features.
For Pennsylvania, the relevant destination is FanDuel Sportsbook, PlayPennsylvania reported. The agreement also covers FanDuel Predicts, the operator’s separate prediction-market platform, but does not indicate that FanDuel will offer sports event contracts in Pennsylvania. FanDuel had previously said its sports contracts through FanDuel Predicts would be available only in states without legal online sports betting; Pennsylvania already has regulated online wagering.
The release did not specify which markets will be shown in individual states. Real said it will direct members only to FanDuel products available where they are located, while any non-sports contracts offered through FanDuel Predicts remain separate from bets placed through the Pennsylvania-regulated sportsbook.
The odds features will be optional. Members can turn them off in Real’s settings and continue using scores, statistics and conversations without seeing FanDuel markets. FanDuel said its existing customer tools for setting limits and managing activity will remain available.
Louis Antonelli, Real’s co-founder, said members had already been using the app to track and discuss bets in real time and had requested live odds. Real says it has more than 1.5 million monthly active users, including 1.1 million daily users; more than 70% of monthly users return on major game days, and concurrent use has exceeded 250,000 during close games.
Christian Genetski, FanDuel’s president, said the partnership was intended to make the operator “a natural part of how fans follow and engage with sports.” The companies have committed to expand the integration.
