PrizePicks Announces Responsible Gaming Collaboration with Kindbridge Behavioral Health

PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, and Kindbridge Behavioral Health, a pioneering mental health service provider dedicated to supporting individuals facing challenges related to problem gaming, announced a groundbreaking collaboration that will provide access to Kindbridge’s top-tier clinical services at no initial cost to PrizePicks players and customer-facing employees. The program will support problem gaming prevention, treatment and recovery efforts.
“We are proud to partner with Kindbridge and to be the first operator to cover program costs entirely, removing a significant barrier to access. It’s essential that the fantasy sports industry invests and innovates in the area of responsible gaming. This initiative not only helps players and employees but also strengthens PrizePicks’ role in promoting social responsibility within the industry. By addressing both prevention and treatment, we are paving the way for a healthier gaming community,” Adam Wexler, Co-founder and CEO of PrizePicks, said.
PrizePicks will incur all initial costs of Kindbridge’s comprehensive support services for its customer-facing employees and player community, setting a new benchmark in the DFS industry for responsible gaming and problem gaming support. Players on PrizePicks and customer support employees will have immediate access to an in-depth clinical assessment, clinical review and care plan development session, as well as access to educational and peer support groups.
“It is inspiring to see a DFS operator actively providing essential care resources to their audience. Many individuals struggling with gaming-related health issues face significant financial barriers, even with insurance, which hinders their ability to follow a comprehensive care plan. This collaboration is a pivotal step toward eliminating these barriers, ensuring people can access the support they need, regardless of their financial situation,” Daniel Umfleet, Founder and CEO of Kindbridge Behavioral Health, said.
Phil Sherwood, Senior Director of Responsible Gaming at PrizePicks, said: “Many individuals face high out-of-pocket expenses for healthcare even with insurance, making it difficult to get the help they need. Partnering with Kindbridge allows us to help those individuals who wish to take preventative measures with a variety of world-class mental health services at no cost to them.”

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.
