Fanball, a leading platform in daily fantasy sports, has unveiled an exciting new offering: Fanball Winners by Erin Andrews. This innovative fantasy football game specifically targets the U.S. mass market, particularly women and casual sports enthusiasts, aiming to broaden participation in fantasy sports.
Available on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, the game provides an accessible fantasy football experience. Players start by registering and then selecting one quarterback, one running back, and one wide receiver from a choice of three options in each category, based on that week’s NFL matchups.
The goal is straightforward: pick the players who will earn the most fantasy points. Those who successfully forecast the top scorers in each position can win a share of a guaranteed prize pool. With low entry fees and the possibility to enter multiple lineups, players have numerous opportunities to win throughout the NFL season.

Erin Andrews, the game’s ambassador and renowned FOX A-Team sportscaster, commented, “We’ve clearly entered a game-changing era for sports, with female game attendance, viewership, and ratings results shattering all-time records. Playing fantasy football has historically been dominated by diehard sports fans, and Fanball Winners has introduced a game concept that caters to the next generation of sports fans.”
The fantasy sports industry is set for significant growth, projected to soar from $31 billion in 2023 to $87 billion by 2031, as reported by SkyQuest Technology. Notably, women now represent 38% of fantasy sports participants, making them the fastest-growing demographic. A recent survey revealed that 70% of Americans identify as sports fans, indicating a vast potential audience for new fantasy options.
Randy Eccker, founder and CEO of RSports, Fanball’s parent company, stated, “Creating ways for casual sports fans to enjoy fun fantasy gameplay presents a compelling growth opportunity for Fanball. Through easy and fun-to-play fantasy games like Fanball Winners by Erin Andrews, we are looking to fill that void and provide anyone who has interest in real cash fantasy games a simple way of getting in on the fun.”
Fanball Winners, under the operation of SportsHub Games Network, has been strategically launched just as the NFL season kicks off. This timing aims to leverage the rapidly expanding fantasy sports market, targeting over 35 markets across North America, including Washington, D.C.
