Online gaming company FanDuel has announced the launch of FanDuel Picks, a new peer-to-peer fantasy sports platform.
The product allows users to select between three and six players, choose whether each athlete will record “more” or “less” than their projected stats, and set an entry amount. Participants earn points for correct picks, with top scorers splitting the prize pool. Winnings can reach up to 1,000 times the initial entry fee.
As part of the rollout, new customers who spend $5 on FanDuel Picks will receive $60 in bonus funds.
"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," said Rob Cullen, FanDuel Picks General Manager. "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."
FanDuel Picks is available in 17 states, including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
