PrizePicks, the largest daily fantasy sports operator in North America, hosted a ceremonial ribbon cutting ceremony for its new 33,000-square foot headquarters, located in Midtown Atlanta. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp joined the executive leadership team at PrizePicks to celebrate the occasion.

“This marks a major milestone for PrizePicks as we celebrate a new chapter of growth. I’d like to extend my thanks to Governor and First Lady Kemp for their continued support as we look to further the city’s mission of becoming a major tech hub in the US. Not only do we see massive opportunity to foster homegrown talent in the state, but also to attract the top minds in tech from around the country,” said Mike Ybarra, CEO of PrizePicks.

PrizePicks was founded in Atlanta and plans to continue to invest in the city, creating an economic impact of $25 million to the state of Georgia.

“I want to thank the entire PrizePicks team for your commitment to creating jobs and fostering innovation. Today is certainly a proud moment for both this team, but also for our state. It spotlights areas where we’re seeing our greatest success stories,” said Governor Brian Kemp.

Kansas reported record-breaking sports betting figures for November, the third month of bets on the 2024-25 NFL regular season. Sunflower State bettors wagered $291 million, a 5.5% increase from the previous record in October. Last month, the handle came to $275.9 million. The handle total also marks an 11.5% year-on-year increase from $260.9 million in November 2023.

Kansas’ six online sportsbooks contributed the most. They drew in a $279 million handle, making up almost 96.0% of the monthly total, and close to $24.7 million in revenue.

The state is also home to four retail sports betting locations, including ESPN BET at Hollywood Casino, the FanDuel Sportsbook in Kansas Star Casino, DraftKings at Boot Hill Casino & Resort, and Kansas Crossing’s Caesars Sportsbook. In November, these venues contributed $873,172 to the revenue total from a $12 million handle.

While the Kansas City Chiefs are based in neighboring Missouri, they’re also the most popular NFL team in Kansas. So far this season, the Chiefs won all but one of their 13 games.

The loss actually came in mid-November, with quarterback Josh Allen sealing the Buffalo Bills’ 30-21 win. With Kansas bettors likely backing the Chiefs during the game, this loss could have contributed to extra revenue for the state’s books to keep during the month.

The Chiefs are among the favorites to win Super Bowl LIX. The NFL is a particularly popular time of year for sports betting operators, with the American Gaming Association predicting bettors will wager around $35 billion on this season’s games. Like many states, Kansas reported a surge in betting activity from September onwards every year since it launched legal sports betting.
