As a result of acquiring PointsBet’s U.S. assets, Fanatics Sportsbook claims it can leverage critical components of PointsBet’s technological infrastructure to enhance its sports betting engine. According to a press release, the sportsbook will use PointsBet’s cutting-edge risk and trading platform in conjunction with Banach Technology’s quantitative-driven trading models. Also, it allows real time sports betting.
In Korea sports news, fans can bet on NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, NCAA sports, golf, motorsports, tennis, mixed martial arts, and boxing at the Fanatics Sportsbook.
Users may also earn “FanCash” from Fanatics, which they can use to place bonus bets on the sportsbook and spend on team gear at Fanatics.com. Same-game parlays will reward customers with 5% FanCash, parlays will earn 3%, and straight bets will earn 1%.
As a competitive edge over its rivals, Fanatics has highlighted the seamless integration of its apparel and sports betting businesses. According to online gambling South Korea experts, FanCash could be a valuable client acquisition and retention strategy for the sports betting operator. Despite this, state authorities have discouraged fans from purchasing Fanatics items to participate in Fanatics Sportsbook bonuses and bet promotions.
Fanatics Sportsbook has 12 pending licenses across the United States, including Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia, according to information presented at a recent New York State Gaming Commission hearing.
Transferring PointsBet’s online sports betting license from New York to Fanatics is a high priority. When Fanatics bought PointsBet’s U.S. operations, one of the most valuable assets was the company’s New York online sports betting license. Late in June, Fanatics outbid DraftKings’ last offer to acquire PointsBet’s U.S. assets of $195 million with a higher bid of $225 million.
