ZenSports Launches Daily Fantasy Sports Contests

Fantasy Sports

ZenSports has been 100% focused on being a mobile peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace where anyone can create and accept sports bets with anyone else in the world without the need for a centralized bookmaker.

Now the company is adding Daily Fantasy Sports Contests (DFS) to its suite of product solutions.

ZenSports’ peer-to-peer sports betting marketplace is currently only available outside the United States. However, its new Daily Fantasy Sports Contests product will be available in 41 states throughout the United States. Daily Fantasy Sports has a carve-out exemption at the federal level from the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, and ZenSports will offer its new DFS product in states that have either legalized DFS contests or not explicitly made it illegal.

International residents will also have access to the DFS product. The peer-to-peer sports betting product will continue to be excluded from U.S. residents. ZenSports uses multiple geo-restricting technologies to ensure that only international residents get access to the P2P sports betting features, and that only residents in the aforementioned 41 states have access to its DFS contest features.

According to ZenSports Co-Founder & CEO, Mark Thomas, “When building our new DFS features, we took great pains to ensure that the user experience and design within our app weren’t compromised for international customers that have access to both products. While at the same time, using the technologies available to us to ensure that only international residents get access to our P2P sports betting features, and only U.S. residents in the 41 states get access to the DFS features. We feel good that we’ve balanced both very well.”

ZenSports differentiates itself from other DFS platforms in 2 ways: through the use of its SPORTS utility token for betting/rewards, and its simple fee structure.
