Daily Fantasy Sports contests go live across multiple U.S. states via FanDuel's Peer-to-Peer platform
Think you're a wild card, huh? Let's get to it.
FanDuel, under Flutter Entertainment's wing, has taken a swing at the daily fantasy sports scene with their newly launched peer-to-peer contest, FanDuel Picks. This bad boy has already made its mark in Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Oregon, and Wisconsin, with plans to expand to more states.
The stage is set for a fierce competition, with FanDuel Picks squaring off against established players like PrizePicks and Underdog, and the unfaltering titan, DraftKings. But the new kid on the block ain't shy, taking on DraftKings' Pick 6 P2P product head-on.
FanDuel Picks is all about selecting 3-6 player props (think Jamal Murray over/under 31.5 points) and jumping into shared-prize contests. Simple as that.
Now, let's talk rivals. DraftKings, with its giant user base and significant DFS infrastructure, dominates the market with larger contests and cross-promotions with their sportsbook. Betr, on the other hand, is all about the young guns, using viral marketing, and even celebrities like Jake Paul, to drive its popularity. Splash keeps it simple and social, while Sleeper integrates messaging features for community engagement.
FanDuel might be entering a tough market, but they're leaning on their sports betting dominance and existing user base, even if it means being a latecomer in some non-sports-betting states like Wisconsin and Alabama. It ain't easy taking the crown from the likes of PrizePicks and Underdog, but they're ready for the challenge!
FanDuel Picks, launched by Flutter Entertainment, competes directly against DraftKings' Pick 6 P2P product in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) scene. Players can select 3-6 player props on FanDuel Picks and join shared-prize contests. Despite entering a competitive market, FanDuel relies on its sports betting dominance and existing user base to make its mark, especially in states like Wisconsin and Alabama.
