In parallel, FanDuel, the official sports betting partner of the NFL, has unveiled an engaging campaign for the 2024 Super Bowl, teaming up with four-time champion Rob Gronkowski.
Rivers Casino’s Playoff Championship Party:
On January 28, from 4 pm to 7 pm, Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady invites guests to join the Playoff Championship Party at Van Slyck’s bar. The first 200 NFL fans will be treated to a complimentary appetizer buffet, a beverage of their choice, and the chance to win exciting prizes. This event creates a vibrant atmosphere for football enthusiasts to come together, revel in the playoff excitement, and celebrate their shared passion.
FanDuel’s “Kick of Destiny 2” Campaign with Rob Gronkowski:
FanDuel, recognized as the official sports betting partner of the NFL, has joined forces with four-time champion Rob Gronkowski for the 2024 Super Bowl campaign titled “Kick of Destiny 2.” Scheduled for February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the campaign reintroduces Gronkowski to the Super Bowl finale, where he will attempt another field goal. Through the FanDuel Sportsbook app, fans can make predictions on whether Gronkowski will succeed, with options to choose between “Make” or “Miss.”
North Carolina Sports Betting Delay for Super Bowl:
Despite the growing anticipation for legal sports betting in North Carolina, it appears unlikely to launch in time for the Super Bowl on February 11. The North Carolina Lottery Commission, after a December meeting, released a statement indicating that the legal mobile sports betting market must commence between January 8 and mid-June. While January 8 was already ruled out as a feasible go-live date, the commission now confirms that the Super Bowl timeframe is also unattainable.
Commission chairman Ripley Rand acknowledged the challenges, stating, “We see questions about whether sports betting will be up and running in time for the Super Bowl. It’s clear, however, with all the work remaining to be done and the timetable set out in state law that unfortunately won’t be the case.”
As Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady prepares to host the NFL Playoff Championship Party and FanDuel unveils its engaging campaign with Rob Gronkowski, the excitement leading up to the 2024 Super Bowl is palpable. However, the delay in North Carolina’s sports betting launch adds a note of anticipation, as enthusiasts eagerly await the expansion of legal sports betting in the state. Stay tuned for further developments as the Super Bowl approaches, promising a blend of on-site celebrations and digital engagement for football enthusiasts nationwide.
