Industry-First DFS Marketplace launch expands WagerWire’s Award-Winning Fantasy Offering

WagerWire

Wire Industries, Inc., an award-winning technology and media company that owns and operates the revolutionary sports betting marketplace WagerWire, announced today the groundbreaking expansion of its FantasyWire subdivision. FantasyWire recently garnered recognition by winning awards from the Fantasy Sports and Gaming Association ( FSGA ) for “Best Product Experience” and “Best Innovation”. The award for Product Experience was attributed to the FantasyWire Pickem trading marketplace which launched in partnership with RealTime Fantasy Sports in 2024 and broke new ground as the first-ever secondary marketplace for users to buy and sell DFS (daily fantasy sports) Pickem entries. Their Best Innovation win acknowledged FantasyWire’s robust pricing engine which powers the dynamic marketplace by allowing players to evaluate a live suggested sales price and deal score on any lineup they wish to sell or buy. The overwhelming success of the Pickem entries marketplace laid the foundation to expand the offering to an even wider fantasy sports audience. And now, this latest release introduces DFS Pools to the secondary marketplace for the first time ever, further solidifying WagerWire’s position as a leader in the daily fantasy and sports betting industries. The DFS Pool marketplace will operate similarly to the Pickem marketplace. After a player builds a lineup and joins a particular pool, they will be able to sell a portion, or the entirety of the entry within the marketplace directly embedded into the RealTime Sports platform. “Our users fell in love with the Pickem marketplace and took to it right away. The results were astounding, so creating a new user experience to increase the action and engagement for our users was a no-brainer,” said Tim Jensen, COO of RT Sports. “There is no other fantasy platform on the planet that allows you to turn your unique entries, both Pickem and pool based, into an asset by leveraging the real time value of that entry. RealTime Sports has been leading the way in terms of fantasy sports innovation since 1995, and our ultra-successful partnership with WagerWire solidifies that we're still the market leader in game-play, winnings, and innovation.” The FantasyWire experience is powered by the same award-winning pricing engine from Pickem, but now enhanced to accommodate the complexities of a DFS Pool. The platform’s dynamic suggested pricing and deal scores empower users with unparalleled insights, ensuring players can maximize returns on their assets. The models are built on thousands of real-time simulations – which are constantly run both before the games and during the games as scores are changing – to calculate where entries will finish against their competitors within a specific pool. Based on these simulations, WagerWire’s data science team models the calculated probability, as well as a live and real-time dollar value for an entry, to help buyers and sellers' price and set the market accordingly. Wire Media serves as the growth engine behind FantasyWire’s expanding product suite by inverting the traditional media model. Instead of relying on paid ads or celebrity endorsements, Wire Media tells the story of the fantasy entries and the people playing them, elevating users into influencers to organically drive engagement. The expansion of the partnership and product has begun to make noise in the fantasy sports and gaming industry. With the news of this latest launch in partnership with RealTime Sports as well as the two 2025 FSGA awards, the industry acknowledged Wire Industries even further by electing cofounder and CEO Zach Doctor to the FSGA Board of Directors. “One of the main missions behind the creation and founding of WagerWire is to provide liquidity and value to every form of gaming asset, from betting tickets, to Pickems, to contests. And DFS pools were the next asset class to be utilized,” said Zach Doctor, CEO of WagerWire. “Our industry recognition is proof that our products and offerings are truly cutting edge, reshaping the fantasy user experience and changing the expectations around the fantasy market forever.” To use RealTime Fantasy Sports DFS Pools, please visit: https://rtsports.com/dfs.

By providing a clear, consolidated view of their betting bankroll, EDGE Boost empowers users to make more informed financial decisions. The EDGE Boost bank account is FDIC-insured up to $250,000*, providing financial security, while all user data is safeguarded on a private, encrypted platform. EDGE Boost users are already using the card for transactions across all major digital gaming platforms, without any fees or integration required for operators. "EDGE Boost is revolutionizing responsible gaming, giving players the power to take full control of their betting finances like never before. Our innovative card and platform provide the tools needed to engage with gaming safely and sustainably. Operators can only see part of the picture when it comes to a bettor’s financial habits — EDGE Boost changes that by acting as an independent, all-encompassing solution to bridge this critical gap," said Seni Thomas, Founder and CEO of EDGE Boost. "With our team’s deep expertise across the betting industry and beyond, we're excited to deliver a responsible gaming solution that is already making an impact with bettors everywhere." Key features of EDGE Boost include the following: Personalized Spending Limit Suggestions – EDGE Boost will assess users’ cash flow and recommend tailored betting limits for each user to put into place for themselves. Financial Transparency – A separate bank account allows for a clear overview of betting expenses, helping bettors stay in control of their gaming budgets. Cashback Incentives – EDGE Boost rewards users with cash back for qualified spend with gaming merchants. Frictionless, Instant Betting – Compatible with almost any gaming platform, allowing bettors to deploy funds instantly. No Minimum Balances or Maintenance Costs – EDGE Boost has no usage costs and only generates revenue when customers use the card. FDIC-Insured, Secure Platform – Accounts are FDIC-insured up to $250,000*, the first betting-only bank account to provide this level of security. EDGE Boost is redefining the role of monetary management in gaming. The card and platform are available now for users nationwide. For more information, please visit www.edgeboost.bet. About EDGE Boost EDGE Boost is the responsible financial platform for smart bettors. It’s the first betting-only debt card account that is FDIC insured up to $250,000.

Dokotoo Announces Launch of Waffle-Style Apparel Collection on Amazon US

Grand Newswire

Dokotoo, a leading women’s clothing brand and consistent top-performer in Amazon’s fashion category, has officially announced the launch of its new waffle-style apparel collection. The innovative line features garments with a distinctly textured, fluffy knit designed to offer both comfort and visual dimension — marking a notable expansion in tactile-driven fashion on one of the world’s largest retail platforms. The Waffle-Style Collection represents Dokotoo’s continued investment in material innovation and consumer-centered design. Developed by the in-house creative team, the concept originated from an informal brainstorming session. “Our inspiration came from an everyday moment — a shared meal and conversation,” said Kim, Creative Development Director at Dokotoo. “We examined the texture of waffles and asked ourselves, ‘What if we could create clothing that feels this comforting?’ That was the starting point for an entirely new product direction.” The resulting designs offer more than aesthetic appeal. According to the company, the waffle-textured knit mimics the softness of micro-air cushions, delivering a garment experience that is both breathable and cocooning. The fabric’s three-dimensional geometry — described internally as a “soft chessboard of light and shadow” — reflects current trends in sensory fashion, where texture plays a central role in how clothing affects the wearer’s mood and daily comfort. This launch coincides with Dokotoo’s broader innovation roadmap, which includes upcoming product categories like Slimfi Smocking, Magic Collar, and the Gold Empire Line — each focused on enhancing fit, structure, and fashion utility for everyday consumers. The waffle series is the first of these to be released in 2025. Available now on Amazon US, the collection includes tops and tunics in a range of colors and sizes, tailored for seasonal versatility. With streamlined logistics and standardized service from purchase through post-sale, Dokotoo reinforces its brand mission: to make clothing shopping simple and create garments that feel like a second skin.
