Comcast to launch live betting odds from FanDuel on X1 devices
The Odds Zone on Xfinity X1 devices will now feature live odds from another of the biggest sports betting houses on the market.
Do you own an Xfinity X1 device? If so, you’re likely already aware of how many things you can do with it. Not only can you use the X1 for physical DVR storage, but you can even stream on-demand apps using the handy little box. One of the best ancillary features of the X1 device is the Xfinity Odds Zone, which shows sports bettors real-time odds on the wagers they’re most likely to want to place on a game. On Thursday, Xfinity announced it was adding an important partner to Odds Zone: FanDuel, one of the largest sports betting operators in the game.
Key Details:
- Viewers will soon find FanDuel odds in the Xfinity Sports Zone, if they don’t see them already.
- Odds for the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, and more leagues will be available.
- Odds Zone can be found for all X1 customers, though not all can actually bet on sports games.
X1 device owners should be on the lookout for FanDuel odds in the Odds Zone. If they don’t see them there already, they’ll soon be available. Odds Zone is a great way for prospective bettors to see all the latest live odds, game lines, and prop bets for major sporting events without having to look away from the TV.
“X1 is the best seat in the house for live sports, and now with FanDuel as part of Odds Zone, we’re making it even better for fans by integrating odds from another top sportsbook directly into their viewing experience,” Comcast VP Vito Forlenza said. “Our entertainment platform makes it easy for customers to find their favorite sports by bringing everything together in one place - whether airing nationally or locally, on broadcast or streaming. And when combined with features like Odds Zone, Enhanced 4K and Multiview, we’re giving our customers the ultimate sports viewing experience.”
Other betting houses like Draft Kings already had live odds available on Odds Zone, but now viewers will be able to see which offers them the best odds on the wager they want to make. Viewers can bet on the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, WNBA, college football and basketball, golf, and more using lines sourced from the Odds Zone.
“We are thrilled to partner with Comcast to enhance how our customers can watch and wager on their favorite teams and athletes,” said Karol Corcoran, SVP and GM of FanDuel Sportsbook. “Integrating FanDuel odds into the Xfinity Odds Zone offers sports fans another way to interact with our robust sports betting offering, and we look forward to collaborating with Comcast to continue elevating the game day viewing experience.”
As sports shift into the streaming space, the integration of live betting odds is becoming increasingly popular. The new ESPN streaming service Flagship will integrate odds and betting capabilities be powered by ESPN Bet, among a laundry list of other features.
If you’re looking for Odds Zone on your X1 device, all you have to do is say things like “Odds Zone,” “View odds,” or “FanDuel odds” into your voice remote. You’ll be able to pull up all the biggest games you can bet on at a glance, and maybe walk away with a few extra dollars as a result.
