This first-of-its-kind feature for the NHL will be available to all viewers with a Circa Sports account. Fans with such an account will be able to place wagers during linear, streaming broadcasts.

“We are always looking for innovative ways to enhance our broadcasts and we are excited to offer this new feature,” said Golden Knights President and CEO Kerry Bubolz.

“This interactive element will elevate our broadcasts and it’s something we know many of our fans will enjoy. We appreciate the work of these partners to help make it a reality.”

During the first intermission of each Scripps Sports broadcast on both television and streaming on KnightTime+, viewers will be presented with real-time game odds and a QR code or button linking to the Circa Sports app.

Bets must be placed prior to the start of the second period. KnightTime+ viewers may opt out of the feature. All fans wishing to participate must preregister in person at Circa Sports in Las Vegas.

“It’s a great milestone to introduce the first integrated broadcast in-game sports betting experience in the NHL, in partnership with Circa Sports,” said Scripps Sports Vice President of Revenue and Sponsorships Tony Lamerato.

“This is a testament to the commitment to innovation shared by our partners at VGK, Play Anywhere and Circa Sports. We are eager to lead the future of fan engagement in the sports industry.”
