Patrick Schwarzenegger Takes Fanatics Casino for a Spin in New 'Explained By' Campaign Ad

Patrick Schwarzenegger's star has been on the rise since his appearance in season 3 of "The White Lotus." Now, he's using his newfound attention to encourage Fanatics Casino customers to spin, spin, spin for a chance to WIN. The new ad for Fanatics Betting and Gaming comes on the heels of Livvy Dunne's highly successful campaign with the company, "Explained," in which she tells customers all about Fanatics' exciting deals and benefits for the ongoing football season. In their new ad, Schwarzenegger takes a swing and hits it out of the park, all while informing potential players of how they can win their share of over $100,000 worth of rewards.

According to a press release sent to The Blast, Schwarzenegger is the latest celebrity teaming up with Fanatics Betting and Gaming by heading their new "Explained" campaign, developed in partnership with Anomaly and OBB Media.

As previously reported by The Blast, the new spot is a continuation of the "Explained" campaign that featured Dunne. However, instead of taking place on a football field, this ad finds the "White Lotus" star sitting on a flotation device, spinning incessantly in a body of water.

Schwarzenegger is inviting players into a world where they can escape with Fanatics Casino by engaging in a simple action spin.

With FanCash Spins, Fanatics Casino's daily free-to-play game with over $100,000 worth of rewards up for grabs each day, players can win everything from FanCash to coveted team merchandise.

In a statement, Schwarzenegger opened up about his new partnership with Fanatics, saying, "I've done some weird stuff on set before, but spinning in circles for hours is near the top of the list."

He continued, "Luckily, that's the spirit behind FanCash Spins on Fanatics Casino. It's simple and rewarding. If I'm laughing this hard while getting dizzy on camera, imagine how good it feels when you're playing for real rewards."

Selena Kalvaria, CMO, Fanatics Betting and Gaming, also shed light on the new interactive experience, explaining that Fanatics aims to "become the preferred choice for slot players by setting a new standard for player experience, innovation, and rewards."

Kalvaria added, "In a category known for flashing lights, noise, and bouncing coins, Patrick Schwarzenegger's effortless charm and confidence brings our brand to life with a memorable explanation of playing FanCash Spins on Fanatics Casino."

As previously mentioned, LSU alum and gymnastics superstar Dunne also partnered with Fanatics Betting and Gaming earlier this year to promote the company's new football initiatives. In her ads, Dunne highlighted the company's epic Fair Play policy and its Gameday Guarantee, which offers new customers up to $100 in FanCash should their first wager lose on gameday.

"As a disruptor brand, Fanatics Sportsbook is rewriting the category playbook," said Kalvaria. "By leveraging the power of Fanatics and working with a cultural force like Livvy, we're telling our story in a way that expands our reach with existing betting audiences, and speaks to new ones, too. With Livvy, we have a national champion showing up in unexpected ways to explain what makes Fanatics Sportsbook different, and more rewarding, for sports fans."

And Fanatics Betting and Gaming's partnerships with high-profile celebs aren't the only thing to be excited about, as the sporting giant recently announced its new collaboration with the WWE, allowing fans to play WWE-themed casino games.

"We are excited to expand our relationship with WWE to now include an exclusive portfolio of WWE-themed online casino games," said Ari Borod, Chief Business Officer at Fanatics Betting and Gaming.

Some of the WWE casino games include WWE Blackjack, Raw Multiplier Melee, SmackDown Big Money Entrance!, WWE Bonus Rumble Gold Blitz, and WWE Clash of the Wilds.

Launched in 2021, FBG is the online and retail sports betting and online casino of Fanatics, one of the world's largest digital sports platforms.

Fanatics Sportsbook is available to 95% of the addressable online sports bettor market in the United States, while the company's casino is currently available online in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

And the fun doesn't end there. Fanatics Betting and Gaming also operates over 20 retail sports betting locations, including the only sportsbook inside an NFL stadium at Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD.
