Alphastreak Land Based Daily Fantasy Sports Kiosk

Alphastreak

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Alphastreak is proud to introduce the first true Daily Fantasy Sports kiosk for global land-based usage.  The kiosk allows customers to play Fantasy contests against other kiosk participants as well as online participants on the Alphastreak Player Network.

The kiosk may be placed in a variety of minor-controlled establishments such as European-style sports shops, North American sports bars and within Casinos, Sportsbooks and Horse Racing OTB locations.

The kiosk offers the same great variety of contest types that the Alphastreak Player Network offers online:

• Salary Cap
• Fantasy point spread
• Fantasy Lotto
• Easy Pick

New contest types will be added soon including in-game Fantasy and Bad Beat Fantasy!

The touchscreen kiosk is simple to use. Participants simply insert cash and use the touchscreen to select League, Contest Type, Entry fee amount and individual contest. The customer can enter a lineup within seconds and the kiosk prints a barcoded receipt of the contest details and player selections. After contest completion, customers may scan their completed entries at the kiosk or at the cashier unit (at the bar or cash cage) to see how much they won and to play again or take the winnings in cash.

A comprehensive back-end provides the location with all of the tools and reports they need to manage the kiosk, while the Alphastreak team manages the contest offering and software maintenance.

Alphastreak believes the time is NOW for the Fantasy Sports industry to break out of the one-contest, North American online website mold and to further expand in global markets with a variety of platforms and contest types.  The Alphastreak DFS kiosk is a prime example of this philosophy taking Fantasy Sports to the next level!

WHAT MAKES THIS PRODUCT WORTHY OF WINNING
The DFS kiosk is a giant step forward into the land-based fantasy sports market. For several years, land-based establishments like Casinos and sports bars have been looking for an exciting way to capitalize on the popularity of fantasy sports but have not had access to a suitable product. Patrons of sports bars are used to playing VLT kiosks, Keno kiosks, and even lottery corporation sports products depending on the jurisdiction. Casino-goers play a variety of skill-based and luck-based games and Europeans are well accustomed to utilizing kiosk platforms on their daily or weekly trips to the neighbourhood sports shop.

The Daily Fantasy Sports kiosk fills a giant need for all of these venues while solving the problem of player liquidity by tying into the Alphastreak Player Network. The new Fantasy Lotto and EasyPick contests provide a low learning curve for newbies while reducing the time a customer takes to fill a lineup.

It seems like sports-centric locations have for years been toying with clunky tabletop units

FanDuel Friends Mode

FanDuel

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Launched just in time for the 2016-2017 NFL season, FanDuel launched Friends Mode – a new season-long fantasy product. On Friends Mode, users can join at any time throughout the season, enter contests on a week-to-week basis (if they want) and can be rewarded every week, instead of once at the end of the season.

All FanDuel users have a Friends tab in the FanDuel lobby on desktop and mobile. Within this mode, users can create and join leagues with their friends and family. Features include:

• Easy Commissioner Tools: On Friends Mode, it is easier than ever to be commissioner. Commissioners start a league by giving it a name and picture, creating one contest upfront by setting the parameters (entry fee and contests size) and inviting friends and family to join with an invite link. Once the league is created, a weekly contest is auto-created for that private group. The commissioner also has the option to edit contest size, entry amount and payout structure any given week.
• Flexibility: Users can join a league at any time throughout the season and enter contests on a week-to-week basis, choosing the weeks they want to participate.
• Weekly Prizes: Every week is an opportunity to win. On Friends Mode, winners are rewarded each week, instead of once at the end of the season.
• League Leaderboard: Like season-long fantasy, each league will feature a leaderboard to track standings all season, showing the top five scores throughout the season.

WHAT MAKES THIS PRODUCT WORTHY OF WINNING
Friends Mode is the first product of its kind, bringing the best of season-long fantasy to the daily format, giving users the ability to play against friends and family every week of the NFL season, choosing the weeks they want to play. The product has beat FanDuel’s expectations.
