To bet or not to bet? That is the legal question surrounding Daily Fantasy Sport sites in the US offering prop-style options. While many, including FanDuel and DraftKings, insist they are just sports betting in a different outfit, others insist they fall well within the realm of fantasy sports.One such proponent is Betr, who is finally taking its platform to a nationwide scale not through sportsbooks but through Betr Picks, a new DFS site available in 24 states including Texas and California.On today’s episode of iGaming Daily, Jessica Welman, along with Charlie Horner, will discuss Betr’s big announcement and whether this is the shot in the arm the company needs to go from good to betr to best.To read more on the topics discussed in today's podcast, click on the following link: - https://sbcamericas.com/2023/08/01/joey-levy-betr-picks-dfs-sportsbook/- https://sbcamericas.com/2023/07/31/betr-picks-prop-dfs-launch/Host: Jessica WelmanGuest: Charlie HornerProducer: MC Killick-CalverEditor: James RossMake sure to like and follow the iGaming Daily LinkedIn page to be kept up-to-date with the latest episodes.Join 15,000+ delegates at our biggest ever conference and exhibition this summer in beautiful Barcelona!
