JetBlue and GeoGuessr Partner to Enhance the Customer Experience for Travelers
JetBlue recently partnered with the geography-based gaming platform GeoGuessr to offer a unique experience for both travel enthusiasts and gamers. Launched on February 8, the new JetBlue-branded game, called “Guess-tination,” invites players to explore ten renowned JetBlue destinations while discovering the airline’s affordable fares. To kick off the launch, JetBlue collaborated with Trevor Rainbolt for a special livestream event on the launch date. Rainbolt hosted a tournament featuring top GeoGuessr players on his Twitch and YouTube channels. During the event, eight skilled gamers competed to identify global locations and JetBlue destinations based on street-view images. The winning player was awarded a JetBlue Vacations package.
JetBlue Head of Marketing and Customer Support Jayne O’Brien said, “JetBlue’s Guess-tination will inspire gamers and travelers to explore the world in exciting ways that can transform into real-life experiences. With fun and simple gameplay, we’re sparking imaginations to help our customers discover their next adventure throughout JetBlue’s network.”
Players can access a teaser version of “Guess-tination” that features five JetBlue destinations. The full version of the game will allow users to discover more destinations within JetBlue’s network, including the Caribbean, Latin America, Canada, and Europe, all while inspiring players to create real-world travel plans while exploring virtual destinations.

FanDuel’s My Spend Dashboard Sees Increasing Adoption by Customers
Online gaming platform FanDuel recently shared that nearly half of its users, or around 3.5 million players, have actively engaged with its new responsible gaming tool, My Spend. The personalized dashboard allows players to monitor and manage their spending habits and time on the platform. The My Spend dashboard provides players with detailed information on their deposits, net winnings, and betting activity over specific periods. The tool also encourages players to use other responsible gaming options available on FanDuel, including setting deposit and wager limits. To further drive engagement with My Spend, FanDuel launched an omnichannel ad campaign during the NFL playoffs. Results from consumer testing indicated that 75% of customers found the tools useful for tracking and managing their gaming habits.
FanDuel Senior Commercial Director of Responsible Gaming Jill Watkins said, “We want our customers to know what they are spending and to ensure they are within their comfort zone. Since the launch of My Spend, we’ve seen a meaningful rise in engagement with tools that give our customers the ability to create a personalized plan to manage their play. We’re encouraged by the progress and remain steadfast in our commitment to making responsible play a natural part of the FanDuel experience for all customers.”
In addition to My Spend, FanDuel introduced a new feature called Deposit Alerts, allowing users to set daily, weekly, or monthly budgets, with notifications to be sent when they reach their spending threshold. This feature is now accessible in the Responsible Gaming section of the FanDuel app. FanDuel plans to roll out additional innovations in 2025 to identify and address at-risk behavior before it becomes a problem, further highlighting its commitment to creating a safe, regulated gaming environment.

In the days leading up to Super Bowl Sunday, Cracker Barrel Cheese reinvented game-day snacking by deploying 50 AI-powered delivery robots across New Orleans. From February 5th to 9th, the high-tech robots traveled over 500 miles, bringing Cracker Barrel Cheese Sticks to fans in tailgates, parks, and popular hotspots.
