Key people
Products
- Fantasy sports: fans select a squad of real players and score points based on those players' real-life performances over a season, tournament or single round. Supported formats include classic (budget), draft, auction and daily fantasy, for any sport with match and player data, such as football, cycling, basketball, Formula 1, tennis, darts and esports.
- Predictor: fans predict the outcome of matches per matchday, for example the result (1×2), the total number of goals or the correct score, and earn points for correct predictions.
- Bracket Challenge: fans predict which teams or players advance through each round of a tournament.
- Survivor: fans pick one team to win in each round; a wrong pick eliminates them, and the last player remaining wins.
- Immaculate Grid: fans identify athletes who match the criteria at the intersection of rows and columns in a sports trivia grid.
- Gaming Hub: a single platform that combines several Fan Arena games under one login.

Known limitations
- Fan Arena is B2B only: fans cannot create their own game or league platform on Fan Arena directly.

- Fantasy games need match and player data. For niche sports without a data feed, manual data entry in the admin tool may be required.
