ZenSports Launches Daily Fantasy Sports Contests
New Daily Fantasy Sports contests will be available in 41 states within the United States, and also internationally.
ZenSports has been 100% focused on being a mobile peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace where anyone can create and accept sports bets with anyone else in the world without the need for a centralized bookmaker. Now the company is adding Daily Fantasy Sports Contests (DFS) to its suite of product solutions.
ZenSports’ peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace is currently only available outside the United States. However, its new Daily Fantasy Sports Contests product will be available in 41 states throughout the United States. Daily Fantasy Sports has a carve-out exemption at the federal level from the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, and ZenSports will offer its new DFS product in states that have either legalized DFS contests or not explicitly made it illegal.
International residents will also have access to the DFS product. The peer-to-peer sports betting product will continue to be excluded from U.S. residents. ZenSports uses multiple geo-restricting technologies to ensure that only international residents get access to the P2P sports betting features, and that only residents in the aforementioned 41 states have access to its DFS contest features.
According to ZenSports Co-Founder & CEO, Mark Thomas, “When building our new DFS features, we took great pains to ensure that the user experience and design within our app weren’t compromised for international customers that have access to both products. While at the same time, using the technologies available to us to ensure that only international residents get access to our P2P sports betting features, and only U.S. residents in the 41 states get access to the DFS features. We feel good that we’ve balanced both very well.”
ZenSports differentiates itself from other DFS platforms in 2 ways: through the use of its SPORTS utility token for betting/rewards, and its simple fee structure.
SPORTS utility token
The biggest differentiator between ZenSports and other DFS products is that ZenSports has created its own cryptocurrency utility token that is turning out to be one of the first best use cases for cryptocurrencies. Since ZenSports first launched its SPORTS utility token back in July 2019, 100% of all peer-to-peer sports bets have been made through the app using its SPORTS token.
“We expect the use of our SPORTS token to also be at or near 100% for Daily Fantasy Sports contests as well,” says Thomas. “The ease of use, savings, cash-back, bonuses, and other loyalty/rewards benefits that our SPORTS token offers is unparalleled compared to any other product. Plus, our token is portable and can be sent into and out of ZenSports with ease. No other product offers all of these benefits in a payment mechanism and loyalty/rewards program.”
Simple, Rewarding Fee Structure
ZenSports keeps its fee structure simple and low-cost so that customers can always understand what they’re paying and never pay too much. Makers that create DFS contests using Bitcoin or U.S. Dollars will only pay 2% to enter their own contests, and other Takers will only pay 4% to enter such contests. Makers that create DFS contests using SPORTS tokens pay 0% to enter their own contests, and other Takers will only pay 2% to enter such contests using SPORTS tokens.
Other DFS companies and products charge fees on upwards of 15%, which significantly reduces customers’ winnings in those other platforms.
ZenSports is available for download in both the App Store and Play Store, and is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

Betr Kicks Off NFL Season with Revamped Betr Picks, Industry-highest 10,000x Payouts, Free $10 Play, and the Launch of Betr Arcade

Betr, a leading gaming and media business, announced a major revamp of its daily fantasy sports pick ’em product, Betr Picks, along with the official launch of Betr Arcade, just in time for the 2025 NFL season. Betr Picks is currently live in 33 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C., reaching approximately two-thirds of the U.S. population, while Arcade has initially launched in 29 states, giving millions of users access to real-money peer-to-peer skill games.
Betr Picks’ overhaul introduces a new, simplified and modern user interface, expanded sports offerings including WNBA and top global soccer leagues, significantly more projections across both new and existing sports, and its industry-first 10,000X payout multiplier. In addition, the innovative “Mystery Multiplier” feature now allows two-pick lineups, which typically return 3X, to return payouts to users of up to 1000X.
To celebrate the launch, all new users will receive $10 to play for free, no deposit required, during the first two weeks of the NFL season. Additionally, new users will also be eligible for a 50% deposit match up to $200, and all existing users will receive a deposit match for each of the first two weeks of NFL season. With over $250 million already won on Betr, these updates are designed to bring an elevated experience to both new and existing users.
The debut of Betr Arcade marks the company’s entry into the casual peer-to-peer skill gaming space, featuring four initial games: 21, Fruit Match, Crossout 21, and 5 Across with more games rolling out in the coming weeks. Games start at just $1.25 and allow players to practice before entering real-money contests against others. The launch was highlighted by co-founder Jake Paul playing one of the games, 21, in a promotional video shared on social media.
“The Betr app has never been as strong as it is today. Betr Picks is now a top tier daily fantasy sports pick ’em product despite launching just less than two years ago, and we now have Betr Arcade live in 29 states, giving our customers a new skill gaming experience. We now have two nationwide gaming products live in our single Betr app available to users in a single wallet. The innovation won’t stop here – we will be releasing additional new products over the coming months – in addition to releasing several more games within Betr Arcade and further improvements to Betr Picks. The Betr team continues to prove that it ships product with a greater level of velocity than any other company in the industry. Most importantly I am excited for the hundreds of thousands of sports fans and gamers who have already won $250M on Betr to experience an early version of this new first-of-its-kind gaming super app,” said Joey Levy, Founder and CEO of Betr.
