Fanatics Betting & Gaming is the sports betting and online casino arm of Fanatics, Inc., the licensed sports merchandise and trading card giant founded by Michael Rubin. Fanatics entered sports betting in 2023 by acquiring the U.S. assets of PointsBet for approximately $150M, instantly gaining multi-state licenses and an operational sportsbook platform.
