ATG, the Swedish Horse Racing Totaliser Board, has become the latest operator to join the Scout Gaming Network and from today will be offering its customers the chance to take part in a wide range of fantasy sports tournaments with prize pools.

This includes a SEK2.5m Guaranteed Champions League Knockout Tournament where the overall winner will receive a minimum prize of SEK500,000. The launch also includes a number of English Premier League contests with combined prizes of more than SEK1m in the first week alone.

Under the deal, ATG will also join Scout Gaming’s growing network of tournaments and will gradually add more daily and season-long fantasy contests across more sports and leagues to ultimately provide a comprehensive fantasy sports offering to its customers.

Scout Gaming has emerged as the leading B2B provider of daily fantasy, sportsbook and fantasy sports betting products with its growing network of operator partners able to leverage its scale and scope to offer players tournaments and contests with the biggest prize pots in the world.

“By launching fantasy sports to its players, ATG is able to deliver tremendous added value while also standing out from its rivals. Fantasy is proven to take player entertainment and enjoyment to the next level, resulting in greater engagement and ultimately higher lifetime values.”

“We have grown fast since our launch of sports betting just three years ago. Fantasy sports enhances our total offer, and we are excited to add it”, said Christian Erlandsson, Head of Sports Betting at ATG.

PrizePicks, the leading sports entertainment operator in North America, announced that it has launched its innovative peer-to-peer fantasy sports contest in New York. Players across the state can now compete in engaging leaderboard style fantasy sports games.

“Returning to New York is a testament to the state’s commitment to embracing innovative gaming products,” said Nick Zabriskie, SVP of Government Affairs, PrizePicks. “Players deserve a competitive landscape, allowing them to engage with their favorite contests in a regulated environment. We’re excited to bring our games back to sports fans who have eagerly been awaiting our return and to extend our footprint in the Empire State.”

In October, PrizePicks was awarded an interactive fantasy sports license by the New York State Gaming Commission. New York is the 16th state to formally ratify PrizePicks’s fantasy contests as games of skill under its interactive fantasy sports rules.

As PrizePicks continues to expand to new markets, investment into Responsible Gaming remains a key focus. In 2025, PrizePicks was awarded iCAP accreditation by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) for its Responsible Gaming practices and efforts, becoming the first and only fantasy sports operator to earn the certification.

The Arizona Department of Gaming today highlighted a major milestone: the upcoming Super Bowl will be the fifth played under Arizona’s legal, state-regulated sports wagering framework. Since regulated event wagering launched in 2021, Arizona’s oversight—guided by state law and Tribal-State Compacts—has aimed to protect consumers, preserve integrity, and generate public revenue.

Key November 2025 figures: strong wagering growth

In its latest monthly report, the Department said Arizona bettors wagered approximately $965 million on sports and events in November 2025 — about a 7.5% increase versus November 2024. The state collected roughly $5.5 million in privilege fees for the month.* Fiscal year-to-date privilege fees total $26.3 million (about $25.7M from event wagering and $637,399 from fantasy sports).

Arizona also recorded its highest monthly event wagering in October 2025 with $967,141,269, and the second-highest in November 2025 with $965,233,844.*

Regulated framework and consumer protections

Arizona’s regulated model requires licensed operators to follow statutory rules, Tribal-State Compacts, and ongoing regulatory oversight. The Department conducts audits, compliance reviews, and integrity controls designed to prevent fraud and illegal activity. Licensed event wagering operators remit privilege fees, calculated as a percentage of gaming revenue — with 90% of those fees directed to Arizona’s General Fund to support state programs and priorities.

There are currently fourteen licensed event wagering operators approved to offer wagering in Arizona, each subject to ongoing Department review and potential audit adjustments.

Responsible play and support resources

The Department emphasizes the importance of using state-licensed event wagering and fantasy sports apps or retail locations. For guidance and safety tips, players are encouraged to visit Check Your Bet at gaming.az.gov/checkyourbet.

For individuals and families affected by problem gambling, the Department’s Division of Problem Gambling offers confidential, subsidized treatment and resources statewide at problemgambling.az.com.
