Coffee and sports betting make a novel — but perhaps mutually beneficial — partnership. Caffeine might very well help the brain process those micro bets quicker and keep the app thumb spry.
FanDuel is testing the theory in a brand-awareness pitch heading into the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Kicking off on July 20, the tournament will run until August 20 and FanDuel is looking to rally support for the United States Women’s National Team (USWNT).
The premise: all those fans attempting to stay up for, and root for USWNT as they pursue a third straight title, will need a little boost. So, here comes FanFuel Extra Kick Coffee. Fans can root for their team overnight, bet on Women’s World Cup odds, and jumpstart their day with the caffeine boost.
