DescriptionOverviewAt Fanatics Betting & Gaming (FBG), we are building a system to bridge the gap between fans and their passion for sports gambling. Little brings a fan closer to the game than to have skin in the game. Being rewarded for their fanaticism is one of the few things that multiplies the passion and engagement for the sports fan. The promotions platform is where the technology and the entirety of the Fanatics ecosystem converge, enabling meaningful rewards. 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.
