- The companies expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2026, with Allwyn funding the purchase through a mix of cash and debt.
- PrizePicks will remain a standalone brand under its existing leadership, with CEO Mike Ybarra continuing and co-founder Adam Wexler staying on the board.
- The fantasy sports operator reported adjusted EBITDA of $339 million in the year to June 2025 and more than 60% year-on-year revenue growth, serving millions of monthly users across roughly 45 states.
- Allwyn, backed by KKCG and operator of major lotteries including the UK National Lottery, frames the deal as a U.S. growth move as lines blur between fantasy sports, sports betting and prediction markets.
