Fantasy Sports
Product Overview
What are Fantasy Sports?
Fantasy Sports games allow you to be the owner and manager of your own sporting team. Participants must build their own team from a ‘transfer’ list of players that compete against teams chosen by other fantasy team owners. Each player is then given a score based on their performance in a real sporting event. The scores are then added together to achieve the fantasy team’s score.
What does this offer operators?
As a gaming product, it offers operators a whole new opportunity in attracting an entirely new segment of the market, i.e. players who want to test their sporting knowledge against other players. In addition, the generally relaxed regulations regarding fantasy sports allows operators entry into possibly untapped market such as the USA.
What does this achieve?
This can help achieve much better results through greater customer acquisition and retention, and can be a great tool in cross selling additional products. E.g. players who have a fantasy team may also be more attracted to betting on a real sporting event starring some of their fantasy players. It can be the ideal product for achieving higher gross wagers without cannibalizing existing business, allowing easy conversion and cross-selling of different products to players who may usually concentrate on only one market vertical.
