DraftKings partners with Sling TV to launch sports betting information channel

In collaboration with DraftKings, live TV streaming service SLING TV launched a new exclusive sports betting information channel. SLING TV subscribers and Free users can now view real-time game scores and betting odds on the DraftKings Basketball channel.

On the heels of app integration, SLING TV becomes the first live tv streaming service to integrate DraftKings information channel on its platform.

Michael Schwimmer, President, SLING TV said in a press release: "This new channel is just the beginning of how we plan to bring the DraftKings sports betting experience to SLING TV customers. We will continue expanding and enhancing our offerings to be the ultimate entertainment experience for sports fans."

"DraftKings continually looks at new ways to reach customers through innovative collaborations with recognizable brands such as SLING TV. We are thrilled to expand this relationship, which will offer SLING TV customers an entirely new viewership experience through this first-of-its-kind streaming service,” said Paul Liberman, President of Product and Technology and co-founder at DraftKings.

SLING TV will also launch DraftKings Baseball and DraftKings Hockey channels in the coming weeks. The expansion of the DraftKings sports betting information channels on SLING TV comes after the two companies announced a strategic agreement across DISH's portfolio of brands to bring DraftKings' sportsbook and daily fantasy experiences directly to its customers nationwide.
