Fanatics has officially unveiled a major update to its Fanatics Markets platform with the introduction of “Combos.”
This new functionality allows users to bundle multiple outcomes into a single prediction contract, reflecting a growing industry trend toward the convergence of traditional sports betting and alternative financial-style wagering.
The Mechanics of Hybrid Wagering
The “Combos” feature enables participants to group diverse selections, including match winners, player props, spreads, and totals, across different sports or within a single marquee event. At launch, the feature supports a wide array of competitions, such as:
- North American Leagues: NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL.
- Global Sports: Soccer, Tennis, Boxing, and MMA.
The platform’s underlying infrastructure is powered by Crypto.com, which provides the federally regulated framework necessary for prediction market operations. This partnership highlights how established iGaming brands are increasingly leveraging specialized third-party tech to offer products that sit adjacent to traditional sportsbook offerings.
Compliance and Responsible Participation
Fanatics Markets is currently operational across 24 US states and four territories. To maintain high standards of player protection, the platform has integrated a robust suite of risk management tools, including session controls, deposit limits, timeouts, and self-exclusion features.
This rollout is seen as a key step in Fanatics‘ efforts to engage a more diverse demographic of users who are interested in the “trading” aspect of sports outcomes. By blending the engagement of a parlay with the transparency of a regulated prediction market, Fanatics is positioning itself as a leader in the next generation of hybrid digital entertainment.
