Attracting non-traditional bettors to new gaming opportunities requires more than just quality product. In the fantasy sports vertical, players often prioritise involvement and interaction over the winning, and so any integrated betting offerings have to be tailored to that way of thinking. Sebastian Lewis spoke on this in detail at the recent SBC Summit, discussing how Plucky is paying out on 'losers as winners', by rewarding fantasy football players who may have inadvertently lucked out in their paid leagues with the most bookings or most points left on the bench, for example. Keeping financial rewards in play, even when things seem to be going wrong, is a major retention tool over what can be a long season. Have you got any ideas on 'losers as winners' payouts? Let us know. #getplucky #fantasyfootball #paidleagues

I love going on adventures. While the actual journey itself is exciting, one of my favorite parts of the adventure is reflecting on the experience and sharing the stories once it’s over. And if I did the adventure right, I get so caught up in the excitement I start planning the next one before I’m even home. To that end, today marks the completion of one adventure and the beginning of another as G. Byron Abrigg and I’s company, Mission Control, has been acquired by LeagueSpot. As the Mission Control adventure comes to a close, I look forward to sharing the many exciting and excruciating stories that Byron and I experienced along the way. Some of them are not unlike the typical lessons learned by many startup founders and some are unique episodes I think could only happen when surrounded by the incredible cast of teammates, supporters, and customers who traveled alongside us on the Mission Control journey. A simple post on social media will never properly convey the depth of appreciation I have for the people who supported us through the peaks and valleys of the startup experience, but nevertheless I say to each of you: Sincerely, thank you. At the same time, I am also thrilled about the possibilities for the future as Mission Control joins a new adventure at LeagueSpot alongside Andrew H Barnett. Byron and I loved playing rec league sports with our friends; to us, rec sports were an excuse to spend time together and gather with our communities. We also loved playing video games but there was no similar “recreational” structure, so, we built a company that used recreational gaming to gather and grow communities, too. Andrew & LeagueSpot share in this mission and have successfully gathered communities through gaming for years. Their competition platform and range of services are the best in the industry. By joining LeagueSpot, Mission Control will be able to better serve its customers by welcoming a wider range of competitions, a more thorough user experience, and an excellent, privacy-focused data strategy for end-users. In addition (and something I am very excited about), customers will have the chance to join LeagueSpot on their new journey to include traditional sports and activities on the same industry-leading platform. Byron and I, in part, will continue on the adventure alongside LeagueSpot as they welcome Mission Control onto their platform, expand further into the recreation industry that we found success in, and broaden their offerings into traditional sports. For anyone who is interested in learning more about LeagueSpot, stay tuned for future updates and feel free to reach out! In the meantime, Byron and I will each begin to chart the next adventures in our careers - and we’ll be sure to share more soon! S/O Arch Grants, Saint Louis University, Richard A.
