Underdog Fantasy partners with ProhiBet

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Underdog Fantasy and ProhiBet today announced their partnership that will integrate ProhiBet’s prohibited person solution into the rapidly growing and popular Underdog Fantasy platform. Through the partnership, ProhiBet will play a pivotal role in monitoring specific individuals - such as professional and college athletes, coaches, employees, and officials – and notify Underdog Fantasy in real-time when an account is created or an entry is placed on a prohibited league.

In an effort to protect the integrity of sports, ProhiBet, a joint venture between U.S. Integrity and Odds On Compliance, offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring athletes, coaches, league officials, and administration, to prevent account creations and/or DFS entries on particular sports via its encrypted, decentralized cross-monitoring and notification platform. ProhiBet’s cutting-edge technology provides a secure and transparent method for sports properties, both professional and collegiate, and sportsbook and daily fantasy sports operators, to ensure covered individuals remain compliant with the intricate web of state regulations that govern activities of prohibited persons.

“Underdog Fantasy is committed to adhering to the highest of compliance standards while creating the best place to play for our community, which entrusts us with maintaining an atmosphere of integrity and fair play,” said Jeremy Levine, Founder and Co-CEO of Underdog. “ProhiBet’s monitoring solutions will further enhance our oversight and awareness of prohibited persons as we look to lead by example in the responsible gaming space in our industry.”

“Underdog is thrilled to partner with ProhiBet and lean on their tools to help elevate our compliant operating standards. Responsible play is always at the forefront of our business. This solution allows us to operate in a more efficient manner while safeguarding our current and future customers. This is historically a gap across the industry as this tends to be done in a less automated, and therefore less comprehensive, manner. We look forward to changing that,” said Matt Garrigan, Senior Director of Operations at Underdog.

“We are excited to announce our partnership with Underdog Fantasy. Underdog's implementation of ProhiBet's cutting-edge encrypted data transfer system underscores the importance of sports integrity, extending beyond traditional sports betting into the realm of daily fantasy sports,” proclaimed Matt Heap, Managing Director of ProhiBet.
