North America's premier online gaming company, FanDuel, announced the release of a new peer-to-peer fantasy sports product just in time for the NFL season.
The new product, FanDuel Picks, will be reaching players in more than a dozen states.
FanDuel Picks promises engaging experiences
FanDuel confirmed that its new peer-to-peer fantasy sports product enables fans to easily engage with their favorite athletes, while granting them a chance to win up to 1,000x their entry fee.
This can be achieved by building a lineup and picking whether an athlete will beat their projected stats during games.
FanDuel Picks players can select between three and six players and "select "more" or "less" on the players' projected stat lines and set their contest entry amount," as explained in a statement released by FanDuel.
Every correct selection helps the players earn points. Then, customers with the highest scores can win a share of a prize pool.
Only recently, Boyd Gaming finalized the sale of its stake in FanDuel to Flutter Entertainment.
The company received $1.8bn from Flutter in exchange for its 5% stake in FanDuel.
FanDuel is excited to bring fans a social way to engage with their favorite sports and athletes
According to FanDuel, FanDuel Picks is available to customers in 17 states.
The list includes Texas, South and North Dakota, Georgia, Alabama, Alaska, Missouri, New Mexico, New Hampshire and several other states.
The leading betting and gaming company confirmed that every new FanDuel Picks customer who plays $5 will receive $60 in bonus funds.
Rob Cullen, FanDuel Picks' General Manager, shared his excitement and said: "Just in time for NFL season, we are excited to bring fans a social way to engage with the sports and athletes they love with the launch of FanDuel Picks."
"The 'more' or 'less' selection model offers a streamlined fantasy sports experience, and we look forward to offering our customers another way to interact with games this season," the executive said in conclusion.
In July, FanDuel hired two executives, strengthening its public policy expertise.
At the time, the company confirmed the appointment of Jonathan Nabavi and Shailagh Murray, who joined as Vice President of Federal Affairs and Senior Vice President of Public Affairs, respectively.
