The Professional Bowlers Association has entered into an affiliate agreement with DraftKings.com that has special appeal to PBA fans who enjoy playing online fantasy sports games, PBA Commissioner Tom Clark announced today.

The agreement invites PBA fans to sign up with DraftKings through a link on pba.com and through PBA’s Facebook and Twitter pages to compete for cash prizes offered by DraftKings and special prizes offered by the PBA in a wide variety of fantasy sports games.

DraftKings is a broad-based fantasy sports gaming website that offers games for fans of professional football, baseball, golf, basketball, hockey and college football and basketball. The website specializes in daily and weekly contests with cash and merchandise prizes.

“We hope this is the beginning of a great relationship with DraftKings,” Clark said. “We plan to explore potential opportunities of mutual interest, including the possibility of a fantasy bowling game at some point in the future.”
