PrizePicks Thursday announced it has been awarded daily fantasy sports operator licenses in Delaware and Missouri. The company will launch Arena, its peer-to-peer fantasy sports contest, in both states.
“We are proud that Arena has been approved in every state where it has been submitted,” said PrizePicks CEO Mike Ybarra in a statement. “We’ve seen strong player adoption to date and we look forward to replicating our success in these new markets with a fun gaming experience. We’d like to extend our gratitude to the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement, the Delaware Lottery, and the Missouri Gaming Commission for their thoughtful collaboration.”
Arena offers a leaderboard-style peer-to-peer gaming experience, allowing players to compete for prizes against each other. Participants are grouped based on the number of entries, selected entry fee, and experience level.
Since launching in January, players on Arena have built over 20 million peer-to-peer lineups. Arena will be available in 15 states with the Delaware and Missouri launches.
