SharpRank’s win at SBC comes after taking home top prize at the G2E Global Gaming Expo Pitch Competition in October. “Sports betting innovation is vital in the expansion and sustainable growth of one of the fastest growing industries in America,” said Chris Adams, CEO of SharpRank. “At SharpRank, we see our proprietary ranking technology and metrics as positive steps in creating a more trustworthy and transparent market – which unlocks the long tail casual consumer and enables financial market tie-ins. It would be difficult to trust a fund without a Morningstar rating – SharpRank is sports betting’s equivalent. We’re thrilled to be named winners of the First Pitch Competition and recognized by this juggernaut of a panel for helping to move the industry forward.”
