PrizePicks has launched a set of new features in its app with a focus on the new football season, and the headline feature is multi-athlete and multi-team combo picks. Under the update, PrizePicks users can now combine traditional daily fantasy sports picks with predictions on game results.
“We’ve been heads-down building new ways to make the PrizePicks platform even more engaging,” said Dylan Cooper, SVP of Product. “With our player-first mindset, innovation isn’t a once-a-year push for us – it’s constant. These product updates will continue to deliver a best-in-class sports entertainment platform for our players this football season.“
One lineup for props and results
For the first time, PrizePicks users can build a single lineup that includes game winners, point spreads and totals alongside more-or-less picks on the stat projections of several athletes, which is the traditional daily fantasy sports model.
Users can also select several game outcomes within one entry. According to the company, the format gives users a holistic experience that deeply engages them across every stat, play, and matchup of a game.
Tracking every play from inside the app
PrizePicks has also introduced real-time data, box scores, and a play-by-play feed, and the company now describes the app as a one-stop shop for fans who follow the games.
Through the upgraded interface, users receive live updates on their lineups and can monitor the progress of their picks while the action unfolds, with no need to switch to another app.
A safety net for first-half injuries
PrizePicks will amplify its Reboot policy throughout the football season.
Under PrizePicks Reboot, an athlete who gets injured in the first half and does not return will be marked as a DNP, so the rest of the lineup remains alive for a win. The policy applies to all professional football, basketball, and baseball games, as well as various college football games.
