As part of the agreement, BestOdds will pay FansUnite a 30% revenue share for 36 months subject to a minimum monthly guarantee, after the agreed upon ramp-up period ends on September 1, 2023.

I’m also excited about the door this partnership opens for FansUnite and BestOdds to continue to do business together.”
Will Armitage, Co-Founder of BestOdds, added, “We are excited to be acquiring the BetPrep assets and will work hard to scale them within our properties. We look forward to collaborating with the FansUnite team over the coming years and reaping rewards together.”
