Splash Sports
Los Angeles, California, US
Splash Sports is a US-facing daily fantasy sports operator and technology company headquartered in Los Angeles. The company offers a mobile-first platform where users can enter salary-cap DFS lineups, pick’em-style player-prop contests, and private peer-to-peer games across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA and other leagues. Launched in 2021, Splash Sports has positioned itself as a social, app-led alternative to larger DFS platforms, with a particular focus on custom contests and private leagues. The business operates in the regulated US daily fantasy sports market, making its contests available in most states where DFS is legal, and has been active in the wider iGaming ecosystem through sportsbook and prediction-market coverage. Its platform is built around retaining players through free-to-play campaigns and guaranteed-prize-pool contests, while the company has also been part of the broader consolidation trend in the US fantasy sports space. Splash Sports competes in a crowded landscape that includes PrizePicks, Underdog Fantasy, DraftKings and FanDuel, though its exact ownership structure and market share are not consistently reported in public sources. In 2026, the company was mentioned in iGaming Business’s prediction-markets coverage, reflecting the growing convergence between fantasy pick’em contests, sportsbook products and prediction markets in the US market.
New York Yankees
Yankee Stadium, 1 East 161st Street, Bronx, New York 10451, USA
The New York Yankees are a professional Major League Baseball franchise based in the Bronx, New York City, and one of the most valuable sports teams in the world. Founded in 1901 in Baltimore, Maryland, as a charter American League club, the franchise relocated to New York in 1903 and officially adopted the Yankees name in 1913. Owned by the Steinbrenner family through Yankee Global Enterprises since 1973, the team has won 27 World Series championships — more than any other MLB franchise. Its business operations span Yankee Stadium (its 46,537-seat home ballpark since 2009), the YES Network regional sports network, global merchandise licensing, and the mlb.com/yankees digital platform. The Yankees appear in iGaming-industry databases because of their gambling-sector partnerships: per Global Gaming Insider, the team added a partnership with prediction-market platform Polymarket as part of Polymarket's US sports expansion, and the franchise operates within MLB's broader sports-betting sponsorship ecosystem. The organization also holds esports and gaming interests, including an investment in esports organization Gen.G and representation in MLB The Show competitive gaming — ties that explain the database's 'Esports Team' label, though the core business remains professional baseball. Forbes ranked the Yankees MLB's most valuable team, worth approximately $7.55 billion in 2024.
