PrizePicks Co-Founder and CTO Jay Deuskar joined NEXTPredict in New York to discuss the importance of product innovation and differentiation in an increasingly competitive market. The conversation comes during a significant week for PrizePicks, following the launch of PrizePicks Packs, our new digital collectibles product. As we continue to expand our offerings, we’re focused on building a sports entertainment platform that gives players more choice and more ways to engage with the sports they love. Thank you to Ed Young and Morgan Stanley for hosting a thoughtful discussion about the industry’s evolution and the opportunities ahead.

We appreciate SBC Americas highlighting the progress PrizePicks is making in partnership with gaming regulators across the country to properly and reasonably regulate fantasy sports while ensuring an environment for further growth and innovation.
Several states have passed bills in recent months to regulate #dailyfantasysports, with key commonalities: - Explicitly defining #DFS as separate from other gambling - Requiring operators to pay licensing fees and a GGR-based tax - Allowing only peer-to-peer versions of fantasy contests Will there be more to come? "We think Illinois and Kentucky immediately become models for the rest of the country," says PrizePicks Chief Legal Officer and Head of Public Policy Jason Barclay. "The laws ended up coming out very fair and reasonable, for operators but also for regulators. We think it’s a great balance between what consumers want, what operators can do, and regulators protecting their interests." More on this year's DFS trend 👇 https://lnkd.in/gSffTMQw

The World Cup didn’t just bring fans together — it brought the world together. Billions of people, united by the same game. From the record-setting viewership to the moments that had everyone on their feet, the World Cup delivered. For PrizePicks, this was our biggest World Cup yet. With our offerings live across the country, fans showed up — they were highly engaged in the action and showed us what makes sports great — community. And so many new, passionate fans found PrizePicks along the way. Our players were united through fandom, and the PrizePicks team rose to meet that energy. What our team built around this tournament was nothing short of incredible – the creativity, the execution, the relentless focus on making sure every player felt the magic of this moment through PrizePicks. I could not be prouder of what we are creating. The World Cup may be over, but the fandom it created — and the momentum here at PrizePicks — carries on.
