WagerWire has unveiled a transformative feature in its mobile application, enabling users to buy and sell daily fantasy Pick'em entries, a first in the fantasy sports industry. This innovation allows fantasy players to legally trade their entries via smartphones, integrating seamlessly with the RealTime Fantasy Sports (RTFS) platform. The feature's debut during the NFL playoffs saw 12% of all DFS Pick'em lineups sold on the secondary market, highlighting its immediate impact.
Zach Doctor, Co-Founder and CEO of WagerWire, described the launch as a paradigm shift for fantasy sports, offering users more ownership and control over their entries. The ability to sell lineups, even those that may lose, introduces a new dynamic to fantasy sports, enabling players to monetize their strategies in real-time.
The WagerWire app, available on iOS and Google Play, enhances the fantasy sports experience with tools like stat tracking, account syncing, and social features. User feedback, including from veteran RTFS user Braiden Payne, praises the in-game buying and selling capability and live price suggestions for significantly improving the user experience.
WagerWire's contributions to the sports gaming industry have earned it nominations for several awards, including Rising Star of the Year at SBC North America and EGR. Since its 2021 launch, the company has attracted investments from high-profile figures and partnered with major US sportsbooks, underscoring its growing influence.
With its GLI-33 certified marketplace technology, WagerWire is not only powering its app but also enabling sportsbooks to embed this innovative marketplace. This technology aggregates bets across platforms, creating a unified marketplace for users. As fantasy sports and betting evolve, WagerWire's latest feature sets a new standard for player engagement, offering flexibility and control that could redefine the industry.
