USA Today to Launch Daily Fantasy Sports Gaming Site
With daily fantasy sports surging to new levels of popularity and visibility, another large publisher is throwing its hat into the ring.
On Tuesday, USA Today plans to introduce Fantasy Score, a fantasy sports gaming site focused on daily tournament-style games, and to rebrand its longtime fantasy news wire KFFL as USA Today Fantasy Sports.
Players will initially be able to compete in daily fantasy football games, according to Mark Pesavento, vice president of innovation at the USA Today Sports Media Group. In the coming months, fantasy games involving the NBA, the NHL and MLB will become available as well, he said.
