PrizePicks runs a daily fantasy sports platform where users predict whether selected athletes will perform above or below a set benchmark across 2–5 players. Winnings depend on accuracy, with up to 10x the entry fee, and revenue comes from real-money entry fees. Unlike traditional fantasy that builds full rosters, it focuses on flexible, single-event bets across multiple sports. Its goal is to provide a simple, accessible way for fans to test sports knowledge and win money, within U.S. and Canada regulatory limits.

↑ 4%Allwyn, the international gaming group from Karel Komárek's KKCG empire, has listed on the Athens Stock Exchange following its March merger with Greek firm OPAP. The combined entity, Allwyn AG, is now the world's second-largest publicly traded lottery and gaming group, with approximately 22% of shares in free float. The listing follows KKCG's long-term strategy of building an international lottery platform since acquiring Sazka in 2011. Allwyn now operates across Greece, Austria, Croatia, Italy, the UK and the US. Recent expansions include a $1.6 billion acquisition of 62% of PrizePicks in January and obtaining the UK National Lottery licence in 2022. In 2025, Allwyn reported preliminary net revenues of €4.1 billion, a 4% year-on-year increase, with adjusted EBITDA of €1.58 billion.
Lottery giant Allwyn has abandoned its planned acquisition of a 51% stake in Novibet following objections from the Hellenic Competition Commission. The transaction, valued at €217 million, was first announced in December 2024. Allwyn and Novibet owner Logflex MT Holding Limited terminated the deal after the HCC raised concerns about restricted competition in Greece's online gaming market. Allwyn already controls over 50% of the Greek market through its stake in OPAP, which operates the Pamestoixima and Stoixman brands. Objectors argued Allwyn was seeking to acquire the only competitor capable of competing on equal terms in Greece. Despite the setback, Allwyn continues expanding elsewhere, recently completing a $1.6 billion majority acquisition of PrizePicks in the US and advancing a merger with OPAP.
PrizePicks, a North American sports entertainment operator, has announced a multi-platform partnership with Bob Does Sports, the golf and lifestyle brand led by Robby Berger and boasting over 5.5 million followers. The deal marks Berger's return after being an early PrizePicks content partner from 2021 to 2023. PrizePicks will serve as exclusive fantasy sports partner across Bob Does Sports' ecosystem, including social media, podcasts and live events. Bob Does Sports' live-streamed golf challenges will appear on the PrizePicks platform, enabling fan engagement. The partnership will support original programming from Bob HQ, a new content hub opening in Jupiter, Florida. PrizePicks, which operates in over 45 US jurisdictions, recently became the first fantasy sports operator to receive iCAP accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling.
PrizePicks, a fantasy sports specialist, is partnering with Polymarket to integrate event contracts into its app, following a $1.5 billion acquisition by Allwyn. Allwyn has secured the necessary funding for the deal, viewing PrizePicks as a key asset for US expansion. The partnership with Polymarket, a cryptocurrency-based prediction platform, marks PrizePicks' entry into the US predictions market, aiming to enhance user experience and drive innovation.
Allwyn is acquiring a 62.3% majority stake in PrizePicks for $1.6 billion, marking its entry into the US daily fantasy sports market. The acquisition is financed by a $1.64 billion term loan. PrizePicks' enterprise value is $2.5 billion, potentially rising to $4.15 billion if performance metrics are met over three years. Current CEO Mike Ybarra and his team will continue to lead PrizePicks. The deal is expected to close in Q1 next year, pending conditions.
