Verse Fantasy Taps SportsDataIO as Strategic Partner To Help Merge DFS with Season Long Fantasy

11 October 2023

Verse Fantasy, a trailblazing innovator in the fantasy sports realm, is excited to unveil a strategic alliance with SportsDataIO, a prominent provider of sports data solutions, aimed at powering Verse's range of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) and Season Long fantasy contests. Verse Fantasy uniquely caters to the vast and untapped market of social groups hungry for competitive gaming experiences.

Although officially established in 2020, the roots of Verse Fantasy can be traced back to Dan Zimmerman's experiences and inspiration during his time in England. Dan, along with the Verse Fantasy team, envisions a world where every week in fantasy sports holds significance by bridging the gap between DFS and traditional season-long fantasy sports.

The essence of Verse Fantasy's innovation lies in simplifying gaming with friends and league members to be as effortless as creating a group chat. By synchronizing their fantasy leagues with the Verse platform, users gain the power to customize and govern their own paid gaming experiences, thereby transforming each week into a championship opportunity.

Verse Fantasy's innovative contest creator tools empower users to craft tailor-made DFS pools, incorporating hundreds of statistical combinations, proposition types, and filters, all underpinned by SportsDataIO's top-notch data.

The choice of SportsDataIO as Verse Fantasy's data partner stems from the company's industry leadership in the fantasy sports domain and its robust sports betting offerings, which hold the promise of inspiring future incarnations of Verse Fantasy. Verse Fantasy CEO Dan Zimmermann expressed, "The Verse team is proud to partner with SportsDataIO to bring the thrill of daily fantasy to season-long leagues across the country. We look forward to growing alongside the best data partner in the space."

In recent developments, Verse Fantasy, the company's flagship product, initiated real-money gaming in 24 states on September 6th. As part of their preparations for this milestone, Verse extended and expanded its collaboration with SportsDataIO.

Charles Collings, Director of Business Development at SportsDataIO, shared his perspective, saying, "As Verse Fantasy entered the market with a unique DFS and fantasy game offering, they sought an experienced data partner that could scale with their business and deliver rich, reliable, and swift sports feeds. SportsDataIO was uniquely positioned to meet those needs and support the growth of their business."
