Fanatics partners with Continent 8
The tech provider will supply the operator with solutions to support its US expansion efforts.
Fanatics Betting and Gaming has partnered with Continent 8 to leverage the company’s digital infrastructure solutions as it continues its expansion across the US.
After the Fanatics Sportsbook made its official debut as a beta launch last summer in Maryland, the app has since been made available in over a dozen states, with recent launches in Kansas, Connecticut and Illinois. New state launches have come frequently since the operator began closing its deal on acquiring PointsBet’s US operations, which was finalized in early April for $225m.
Fanatics also offers iGaming in the form of the Fanatics Casino, which operates in four states including Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Continent 8’s network spans across 100 locations in four continents, including 30 US states. This latest partnership with Continent 8 is set to help the operator maintain its growing network. It will include the storage of in-state data through AWS Outpost centers and management of the operator’s on-premises infrastructure across the US.
Alongside data storage and infrastructure management, Fanatics will use the Continent 8 Gaming Exchange, an internet server that benefits from secure, low-latency traffic via a virtual private network (VPN).
On the partnership, Continent 8 Founder and CEO Michael Tobin said, “Fanatics is a high-caliber operator that understands the importance of infrastructure in delivering the top-quality player experience it is building its reputation on.”
Fanatics Betting and Gaming VP of Technology Bob Pascucci added, “Infrastructure is the foundation upon which we build our sports betting and casino experience. In Continent 8, we have a partner with an unrivaled reputation for supporting its customers, enabling us to continue to drive growth at pace.”
