Exciting Season Ahead for Jai-Alai Fans

The World Jai-Alai League (WJAL) is gearing up for an exhilarating Winter 2025 season, and fans across Florida can look forward to an immersive experience, thanks to the partnership with Hard Rock Bet. As Florida's only legal sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet is set to elevate the viewing experience for jai-alai enthusiasts, providing them with a seamless opportunity to place wagers while enjoying live match coverage.

A New Era of Jai-Alai

Jai-alai, recognized as the fastest ball sport in the world, will take center stage as the WJAL kicks off its 2025 Battle Court Winter season. Scheduled to start on January 20, matches will take place at the iconic Magic City Fronton in Miami. The league promises not just thrilling gameplay but also a wealth of betting options for fans, allowing them to engage more deeply with each match.

Scott Savin, Chief Operating Officer of WJAL, expressed his enthusiasm about the upcoming season: "The start of a new season is always exhilarating, and the addition of wagering on Hard Rock Bet only adds to the sentiment that Winter 2025 will be our best season yet." This statement underlines the growing excitement surrounding the sport and its integration with modern betting platforms.

Enhanced Viewing Experience

Through Hard Rock Bet's mobile app, fans will have access to an extensive range of betting options and can watch each match live within the app’s streaming hub, creating a dynamic wagering-viewing experience. Nick Menas, Managing Director of Corporate Strategy at Hard Rock Bet, shared, "We're excited to roll with the World Jai-Alai League and the 'world's fastest ball sport' on Hard Rock Bet. Jai Alai is part of the fabric of Florida sports culture."

The mobile app, noted for its user-friendly interface, boasts fast deposits and withdrawals, along with various daily promotions and a free Loyalty Rewards program for players. Furthermore, those wishing to indulge in in-person betting can visit Hard Rock Sportsbook locations at Seminole Tribe’s casinos in Florida.

Star Power in the League

This season is not merely about the sport; it's also about the personalities involved. The league is witnessing a remarkable enhancement in prestige as retired NFL star Ray Lewis and three-time NBA champion Udonis Haslem join as team owners, along with Grammy-winning artist, Pitbull, serving as an equity investor. Their involvement underscores the potential for jai-alai to attract a broader audience and elevate its status in Florida's sports scene.

Broadcast and Viewing Options

Fans can tune in live to the Battle Court gamedays, which will be held on Mondays and Tuesdays at 5:00 PM ET, and Fridays at 7:00 PM ET. Besides streaming on Hard Rock Bet, eager viewers can also catch the action on the WJAL’s YouTube channel, Jai-Alai Network, along with platforms like ESPN3, FUBO TV, and Jai-Alai TV.

Currently, only Florida residents can place wagers on the matches through Hard Rock Bet, offering them a unique chance to immerse themselves in the action both as fans and participants.

A Commitment to Community

Since its launch in 2021, the World Jai-Alai League has been actively committed to making a difference in South Florida. Through various community initiatives and partnerships, WJAL has contributed over $200,000 to local charities, supporting organizations like the Humane Society of Greater Miami and more. This effort highlights not only the league's dedication to the sport but also its significant role in positively impacting the community.

As the Winter 2025 season approaches, the collaboration between Hard Rock Bet and the World Jai-Alai League marks a new chapter for the sport, promising thrilling games, community engagement, and an enriched fan experience. Be ready to place your bets and witness the action unfold live!
