HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — September 10, 2026 — Hard Rock Digital today announced that Hard Rock Bet has signed on as a founding partner of Sport & State, the new media platform from nationally syndicated radio host and best-selling author Clay Travis.
The partnership will integrate Hard Rock Bet across Sport & State from launch, spanning its growing slate of programming, digital content and live experiences. Hard Rock Bet will serve as a presenting sponsor and official odds provider of shows across the Sport & State network — including two betting-specific programs, the Bet The Board podcast with Todd Fuhram and Payne Insider, and On Tilt show with Kelly Stewart, Joe Raineri, and Ariel Epstein — and collaborate on co-branded content across the platform’s web and social channels.
“Clay is one of the most authentic voices in media today, with a point of view that moves seamlessly across sports, pop culture and politics,” said Marlon Goldstein, Executive Managing Director & CEO of Hard Rock Digital. “That kind of range makes this partnership a natural fit for Hard Rock Bet — our brand has always lived at the intersection of sports, entertainment and lifestyle, and Clay brings that same energy to everything he does.”
“When you launch something new, you want partners who understand what you’re building and want to be part of it from the beginning. Hard Rock Bet understood the vision for Sport & State right away — they know sports, they know entertainment and, most importantly, they know how to connect with fans. I’m excited to have them with us as a founding partner,” said Travis.
Beyond Sport & State’s owned platforms, the partnership will extend to “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,” heard on more than 550 radio stations nationwide, as well as live events, talent integrations and fan experiences at Hard Rock properties. That connected, in-person experience starts Sunday, September 13, when Travis will be on hand at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood for an NFL kickoff event alongside Jimmy Johnson and other sports legends.
