CONTENT MONETIZATION THROUGH DAILY FANTASY AFFILIATE PROGRAM

Key positions and trends:

“ Unique and cool content will engage and lead affiliates in the right

direction.” – Chris Mazzone, VP of Marketing, MondoGoal

“ Affiliates are growing. The opportunity is huge for affiliate growth. The desire

will be driven by the user (for content).” – Cameron Boal, VP of Marketing, Affiliates, FanDuel

Facts and takeaways:

Building solid content for users and converting season long players to daily players is key.

Synergy between affiliates and operators is key. Sites need unique content to connect.

Affiliate marketing is still relatively small for DFS. This is a huge opportunity. There are some big sites but they still have a very targeted audience. There is much more of the market that is untapped.
