FanDuel Signs Multi-year Agreement with Grupo Globo

FanDuel, part of Flutter Entertainment, and Grupo Globo have signed a new multi-year agreement that will see FanDuel provide daily fantasy sports (DFS) services to Grupo Globo’s Cartola FC brand.
FanDuel will power an extension of Cartola FC’s current product suite that will include the launch of a paid daily fantasy sports platform in Brazil, Cartola Express.
Grupo Globo is the largest media conglomerate in Brazil. The network is made up of a number of companies that create, produce and distribute high-quality content across multiple platforms. Its news, sports, and entertainment programs reach 99.6% of the Brazilian population and its linear channels speak directly to more than 100 million people in Brazil every day.
Cartola Express will join Grupo Globo’s Cartola portfolio. Cartola FC was first launched in 2005 and is a prominent player in the Brazilian fantasy sports market, with more than 17 million app downloads, 10 million active fantasy teams, and 435,000 Cartola PRO customer subscriptions. The brand is integrated across all of Grupo Globo’s broadcast and digital sports media ecosystem, including daily Serie A programming, weekly expert commentary shows such as ‘The LineUp’, Globo’s online sports outlet GE, and social media and digital influencer networks.
Cartola FC is free to play and gives players the opportunity to build fantasy teams for Brasileiro Série A. A Cartola PRO subscription currently gives players greater profile customization and further access to news, tips, and competitions as well as the opportunity to compete for gift cards per round. The new agreement will see FanDuel help to expand Cartola FC’s offering with the launch of a Cartola Express paid DFS product for Brazilian customers, which will sit alongside the already established Cartola FC and Cartola PRO products.
“In Cartola FC, Grupo Globo has built a pioneer in the Brazilian fantasy sports market, offering millions of players access to a first-class entertainment platform which is integrated across a vast sports media portfolio. This exciting initiative allows us to contribute to that success by adding FanDuel’s proven product capabilities and cutting-edge services. We’re looking forward to being a part of this initiative, offering players a new service and the next generation of fantasy sports in Brazil,” Amy Howe, CEO of FanDuel, said.
Newton Filho, CEO of DFS Entretenimento, which operates Cartola Express, commented: “Daily fantasy sports is a fast-growing form of entertainment in Brazil and Cartola Express has the potential to take this to the next level. We’re proud to count on the expertise of FanDuel, which has been a leader in this field in the United States for more than 10 years, and we’re confident that our players will enjoy the benefits of their experience.”

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.
