Yahoo<\/strong> has acquired the sports betting app Wagr<\/strong>. The acquisition will allow Yahoo, the second largest fantasy sports platform after ESPN, to include betting between friends and acquaintances in its services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yahoo already offers real money daily fantasy games on its platform, as well as traditional sports betting in partnership with MGM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With over 20 years of fantasy sports experience, Yahoo has a wealth of data about users’ individual interests and who they play with online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yahoo CEO Jim Lanzone<\/strong> said: \u00abWe\u2019ve always been trying to figure out our way into the gaming space, and it just seems like a total logical extension of what people are already doing with Yahoo Sports, to add peer-to-peer betting.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wagr differs from regular bookmakers in that it does not compete with players. Instead, customers make predictions and other users bet against those predictions; Wagr’s revenue model is based on charging 5% commission on these bets. The model proved successful and attracted investors such as Seven Seven Six, Greycroft, Pear VC, Kraft Group, Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and BITKRAFT Ventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
