STATHERO LAUNCHES FIRST EVER DIGITAL FANTASY SPORTSBOOK

US-based Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) operator StatHero has announced the launch of Rivals, the first ever Digital Fantasy Sportsbook.

The new, first-of-its-kind DFS game format allows users to play 1-on-1 against the House (StatHero), without requiring users to play within a larger group. 

The structure of the game mimics a true sportsbook, with no edits, time stamps, and dynamic odds. Players just set their buy-in and create the best line-up under the salary cap to beat StatHero’s line-up. 

Currently Rivals is offering live games for the NBA, PGA, NHL, and NFL playoffs, and is available in the 32 US states in which StatHero operates – offering a skill-based sportsbook experience in states where sports betting is not yet lega, like California, Texas, and Florida. 

Discussing the new product StatHero CEO, Jason Jaramillo, said:

“For years, DFS players have yearned for an opportunity to control their own fate. A game focused on the individual, rather than beating thousands. A 1-on-1 game versus the House creates an experience that operates just like a sportsbook, giving users in states where betting isn’t legal the experience that they’ve been clamoring for.

“We at StatHero are excited to provide our users with the most innovative DFS platform on the market that provides greater value, more opportunities to win, and an enhanced experience that will reshape the future of DFS.”
