PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Bally's Corporation announced a multi-year partnership with Minor League Baseball that makes Bally's the first-ever National Media Rightsholder and Exclusive Fantasy & Gaming Partner of MiLB.

This wide-ranging, multimedia partnership provides Bally's Corporation with live broadcast and exclusive free-to-play gaming content rights across its digital platforms and strategic partner channels, which, when coupled with Bally's innovative social and interactive features, will provide MiLB fans with a unique in-stadium and at-home experience. Under the terms of the partnership, Bally's receives the right to use MiLB's official marks in marketing as well as in-park signage, broadcast, and digital exposure.

Notably, the partnership extends to Bally Live™, Bally's new, over-the-top, proprietary platform that features ultra-low latency fan engagement tools. With Bally Live™, MiLB fans attending games in person and those choosing to join from outside simultaneously can watch the game and use the app's chat and watch party features. These unique and immersive tools are geared to drive greater interest in the game, both in and out of the ballpark.

The Bally Live™ app is currently available for download on iOS and Android. Fans can follow on social media by using #ballylivenow.

The channels, which include local and regional broadcast stations across the country, give Bally's Corporation customers limitless coverage of the up-and-coming future stars of Major League Baseball, covering more than 7,000 blackout-free live games in total.

Additionally, fans engaging in Bally Live™ activities, including free-to-play trivia and other predictor games, will be eligible to earn rewards through Bally Bucks™ -- Bally's rewards points program. Bally Bucks™ are redeemable for experiential rewards and merchandise through the Bally Live™ app.
