Fantasy Sports Trading Gets a Major Upgrade: WagerWire Now Enables Live Marketplace for Pick'em Entries

A New Era for Daily Fantasy Players

WagerWire, a sports gaming marketplace technology company, has rolled out a groundbreaking feature that transforms how players engage with their fantasy entries. The platform now allows users to buy and sell live fantasy Pick’em entries directly within its iOS and Google Play apps, marking a significant shift in how daily fantasy sports contests can be managed and monetized.

The integration with RealTime Fantasy Sports, which debuted in January 2024, enables players to offload or acquire Pick’em lineups at any point during gameplay—even while games are actively underway. This real-time trading capability has already demonstrated substantial market interest, with 12% of all DFS Pick’em lineups changing hands on the secondary market during the NFL playoffs alone.

Transforming Player Experience and Entry Value

For the first time, fantasy enthusiasts can treat their contest entries as tradeable assets rather than static positions. According to Braiden Payne, a veteran RealTime Fantasy Sports user, the ability to buy and sell in-game creates a fundamentally different experience: “I’m loving being able to buy and sell in-game and see the progress of my picks with live price suggestions. The RT marketplace in the WagerWire app takes an already great experience to the next level.”

WagerWire Co-Founder and CEO Zach Doctor emphasized the competitive advantage this creates: “This launch represents a way to bring more ownership and control over entries. For the first time, there’s a way to cash in on your lineups even if they go on to lose—by selling to a friend or on the open market.”

The Technology Behind the Platform

WagerWire’s parent company, Wire Industries, Inc., has developed a comprehensive ecosystem beyond simple marketplace functionality. The platform integrates stat tracking, account syncing across multiple sportsbooks, bet value analysis tools, and social features that let users monitor how professional players and influencers are positioning their entries.

The company’s proprietary GLI-33 certified marketplace technology can be embedded directly into partner sportsbook applications, serving as an aggregated hub for trades across multiple platforms.

Industry Recognition and Partnerships

WagerWire has secured numerous industry accolades, including SBC North America recognition for Rising Star of the Year and Affiliate of the Year, alongside EGR’s Rising Star award. The platform serves as a licensed media partner and affiliate to major US sportsbooks including BetMGM, BetRivers, Caesars, FanDuel, Hard Rock Bet, and SuperBook.

Since its 2021 launch with seed funding from Miami Marlins co-owner Roger Ehrenberg, Eberg Capital, and NBA All-Star Richard Jefferson, WagerWire has grown significantly. The company’s content has accumulated over 250 million views annually and received coverage from major outlets including ESPN, Bloomberg, CNBC, and The New York Post.

Accessibility and Responsible Gaming

Users can access WagerWire through both the Apple App Store and Google Play, with additional social presence maintained across Twitter, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram (@WagerWire and @WagerWireLive). The platform remains committed to responsible gaming practices, with resources available through 1-800-GAMBLER for users who may need support.
