Overview

At Fanatics Betting & Gaming (FBG), we are building a system to bridge the gap between fans and their passion for sports gambling.

The technology is driven by leaders from across the cloud and online gambling industries, who understand that the platform needs to remain cutting edge. Simply put, if something feels stale or dated, we are going to reinvent it using the latest tech offerings.
