Sports betting and fantasy sports operator DraftKings has extended its data partnership with Stats Perform. 

The partnership provides DraftKings with access to Stats Perform’s sports data feeds for use in its daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests and DK Live, the company’s play-by-play fantasy app. 

Through the extended deal, DraftKings will incorporate Stats Perform data from a number of professional sports leagues, including the NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, FIBA, CFL, college football, men’s college basketball, and most global top-tier soccer leagues.

Regarding the partnership Chief Revenue Officer at Stats Perform, Steve Xeller, said:

“We are proud to continue our partnership with DraftKings to create a fun and exciting DFS experience for sports fans worldwide. Using Stats Perform data, DraftKings has sparked innovation and dramatic growth within the fields of predictive sports analytics and digital entertainment. 

“As interest in DFS continues to grow, we look forward to our continued work with DraftKings to power a new wave of AI-powered sports statistics that drive new insights and opportunities for the DFS experience.”

While Chief Business Officer of DraftKings, Ezra Kucharz, added:

“DraftKings has become a premier destination for skin-in-the-game sports fans. Our growing list of DFS games are extremely popular and require fast and accurate data for fans who are following along to games in real-time. 

“Through our longstanding partnership with Stats Perform, we have developed an important layer of trust between our customers and the sports data they interact with. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Stats Perform as we expand our offerings in the U.S and abroad.”

Staying with DraftKings, last week the operator launched a standalone mobile casino app in the US state of New Jersey.
