B2B casino provider Evolution and FanDuel Casino have extended their U.S. market partnership in a deal that will see the Swedish company continue as the sole provider of FanDuel’s core live dealer casino games for another three years.
FanDuel players will continue to have access to Evolution and subsidiary Ezugi’s full portfolio of live casino games, as well as with top-performing slots from Evolution’s other studios including NetEnt, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming and Nolimit City.
This is the second extension of the original partnership, which began in 2020.
“We are thrilled to extend our successful partnership with FanDuel, providing players with the very best in online casino entertainment,” said Evolution North America CEO Jacob Claesson. “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.”
Asaf Noifeld, managing director of FanDuel Casino, said the brand continues to offer the largest selection of exclusive live casino tables in the U.S. market. On Flutter’s Q3 earnings call this week, executives said that FanDuel Casino closed the quarter with a gaming revenue market share of 25%.
“Expanding our partnership with Evolution for live casino and RNG games enables us to consistently provide a top-tier experience to our customers,” added Noifeld. “We look forward to our continued growth in the live casino sector.”
Evolution keeps evolving
As well as the FanDuel deal, Evolution also has partnerships in the U.S. with several other leading iGaming operators, including the likes of BetMGM, Rush Street Interactive and Caesars.
The company has taken some big steps in the U.S. market in 2024, such as striking a deal to acquire Las Vegas-based Galaxy Gaming with a view to consolidating its position across the country, as well as introducing slots from its Nolimit City studio in a simultaneous launch across its six states.
Meanwhile, in other Evolution news, a court ruling hints that the company’s lawsuit against Light & Wonder will move forward. Evolution filed the suit in June, claiming that Light & Wonder is violating the IP of the company’s Lightning Roulette product.
