Sportsbook Signs DISH Deal to Offer Sports Betting via TV
Players in regulated sports wagering markets can soon bet on sports through their television sets. A significant sportsbook signs DISH deal that will allow it to accept wagers via TV. DraftKings announced the agreement it signed with the DISH network Wednesday.
According to software sportsbook reports, customers with Hopper receivers can access DraftKings through their TV sets. Also, they can wager on sports without interrupting the game on the screen.
The deal is a game-changer for the sports betting industry. It streamlines the in-game betting process. However, players still need to confirm the wager through their mobile devices. Thus, you still need the DraftKings app for the bet to go through.
