DFS expert DraftKings launches new Aussie Rules games with huge prize pool across 31-week season
Ahead of the launch of the new season DFS expert DraftKings has launched the industry’s most comprehensive Australian Football Rules (AFL) Daily Fantasy Sports product to appeal to an untapped global audience of hundreds of millions of fans in one of the world’s most exciting and toughest sports.
Daily fantasy sports players will be able to get involved in a multitude of new and exciting games with huge cash prize pools across a 31-week long season that includes four weeks of finals. It will be the biggest first prize in DFS history in Australia with $85,000 available on the opening night and $200,000 across the opening round.
The introduction of Aussie Rules (AFL) DFS broadens DraftKings’ already leading portfolio of daily fantasy content to more than 15 global sports and enables an even wider international fan base to get involved.
As the world’s fourth most attended sport and with more than 111.4 million people tuning in to AFL broadcasts in 2020 alone there is a huge internal fanbase as well as major cross-sell opportunities for DraftKings with AFL to attract dedicated fans as well as traditional NFL, NBA and golf customers among others. I have attached an information sheet about the sport for more information.
Jeffrey Haas, SVP International Strategy DraftKings said: “The Australian Football League boasts huge appeal both in Australia and internationally with the fourth-highest domestic audience attendance globally. This compelling sport caters to Australian players domestically along with their vast expatriate population around the world as fans in Canada, the US and the UK can all watch via the AFL’s international broadcast partners.
“With DraftKings’ rich daily fantasy heritage, we are thrilled to add these AFL contests to our industry-leading variety of DFS categories as an ‘Approved AFL Fantasy Sports and Betting Provider.’ Fans all over can discover and incorporate AFL action into their second-screen gaming experience as the 31-week-long season plus four weeks of finals gets underway where some of the toughest athletes on the planet square up for intense end-to-end action.”

PrizePicks Becomes Official Daily Fantasy Partner of NBA
The National Basketball Association (NBA) and PrizePicks, a leading sports entertainment operator in North America, announced a multi-year partnership, making PrizePicks an official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner of the NBA. The partnership will expand fan engagement through innovative experiences and content.
Through the league partnership, PrizePicks will integrate NBA intellectual property across its daily fantasy and free-to-play products and marketing initiatives. This includes the use of NBA League, collective NBA Team, and NBA Event marks across approved digital platforms, including the PrizePicks app and website. The partnership was facilitated by KLUTCH Sports Group’s Brand Consulting and Sports and Brand Insights divisions.
“This partnership with the NBA marks an important milestone for PrizePicks as we continue to grow alongside one of the most iconic leagues in sports. Basketball has always been at the heart of our brand, and this collaboration reflects our deep roots in the game. Our focus has always been on delivering fun and responsible experiences, and working with the NBA allows us to bring that commitment to fans through innovative integrations that enhance how they engage with the game,” said Mike Ybarra, CEO of PrizePicks.
“PrizePicks has established itself as a leader in daily fantasy sports through innovation and a strong focus on the fan. We’re excited to collaborate with PrizePicks to enhance the NBA fan experience by combining the league’s unmatched moments with PrizePicks’ interactive innovation, creating new and engaging ways for fans to connect with the game,” said Eric Rimsky, Head of Domestic Fantasy at NBA.
The agreement also enables PrizePicks to execute promotional campaigns and participate in co-marketing efforts across NBA digital and media platforms. Additionally, the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) will grant PrizePicks the ability to use images of multiple NBA players across its marketing, content, and promotional initiatives.
As PrizePicks continues to expand its national footprint, the company remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance, integrity, and Responsible Gaming. In 2025, PrizePicks earned iCAP accreditation from the National Council on Problem Gambling, becoming the first and only fantasy sports operator to receive this certification.

Atlas World Sports Launches its New DFS Product, AtlasDFS
Atlas World Sports, the sports betting platform that aggregates odds and data from more than 20 sportsbooks into a single app, has launched AtlasDFS, its new daily fantasy sports product.
Atlas World Sports has built its reputation as the Expedia of sports betting — a single app where users can compare odds, bonus offers, and bet types across regulated sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, BetMGM, and Hard Rock Bet. AtlasDFS adds a full daily fantasy experience to that ecosystem, giving users one place to research, compare, and compete.
AtlasDFS is live now with the NBA and will expand to the PGA Tour and NHL in Q2, MLB in July, and the NFL this fall. The site uses a Pick’em format in which users select More or Less on stat projections for two to six players per entry. The platform grew out of a strategic acquisition in October 2024 and has since been rebuilt and integrated into the broader Atlas ecosystem alongside live scores, stats, expert analysis, and predictive AI.
“Our goal is to build a next-generation fantasy sports experience that blends everything fans love about daily fantasy with the real-time power of sports betting insights,” said Kevin Koeppel, Director of Product at Atlas World Sports.
Koeppel, who previously founded the DFS product No House Advantage, which later transitioned to Betr, was brought on to head Atlas World Sports’ expanding fantasy division.
“Adding AtlasDFS completes the picture for our users. Whether you’re shopping for the best line, tracking live stats, or building a daily fantasy lineup, you can do all of it with Atlas. That’s what we’ve been working toward,” said Robert Kraft, CEO and Co-Founder of Atlas World Sports.
AtlasDFS is accessible through the Atlas World Sports app and at AtlasDFS.com.
