A few years ago, the NFL was leading the charge against legalized sports betting in the USA, today they are following in the footsteps of other leagues and teams that have already signed exclusive sports betting deals. Betting on the NFL is currently one of the most popular betting avenues in all sports, and with more domestic deals likely to come soon, the fan experience is sure to be elevated on and off the field.
The Denver Broncos became the first NFL team to sign a sports betting partnership when they inked a deal in June with not one but two domestic operators: FanDuel, and Betfred USA Sports. The NFL opened the idea of partnerships in May when they announced that teams could partner with sports betting operators.
FanDuel
The Broncos partnership with FanDuel offers official use of marks and logos in Colorado. The deal also provides marketing assets, including in-stadium, radio, television, and digital advertising.
Denver Broncos chief commercial officer Mac Freeman told the media that “FanDuel has built a strong reputation as a premier gaming destination for sports fans,” and that “we believe that fans will enjoy FanDuel’s trusted sports betting platform.
FanDuel Group CMO Mike Raffensperger responded to the deal by stating, “with the Broncos, were going to take the fan experience in Colorado to the next level.”
Betfred USA Sports
The deal the Broncos signed with Betfred USA will feature a sports betting lounge outside of Empower Field and will also include signage and marketing opportunities inside the stadium. Fans over the age of 21 will also be able to access live odds through the Betfred digital app.
Offshore Betting Opportunities
Despite the numerous domestic betting opportunities available next year in Denver and across the league, offshore betting will still reign supreme for most 18+ sports bettors. It’s hard to beat online services that offer numerous betting lines and can legally be accessed in 48 of the 50 US states.
18+ sportsbooks offer numerous ways to bet on the NFL, including futures, game lines, props, parlays, and more. While depositing and withdrawing an online sportsbook may not be as instantaneous as domestic options, the ways to fund and withdraw an online sports betting account far surpass what you will find at a domestic venture.
US sportsbook deposit options at many reputable sites include Bitcoin and sometimes other crypto methods, Visa/MasterCard, Cashier’s checks, and more. You will also likely find deposit bonus offers to add a little incentive to sign up.
2020 NFL Odds
Even with the coronavirus still looming its ugly head over USA sports, the following future odds can be found online at Bovada’s Sportsbook. Domestic lines are usually similar to offshore sportsbooks but seasoned bettors will tell you they find better value online.
