The Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association (FSGA) handed out industry awards last week during its annual Winter Conference. Top honors, highlighting the best in fantasy sports and sports betting, were shared by The Fantasy Footballers and ESPN, which each took home five awards.
For the third year in a row, the Fantasy Footballers were named Small Business of the Year. ESPN swept the media hosting categories, with Field Yates named the Best Fantasy Sports Host and Doug Kezirian winning Best Sports Betting Host. Chris Fallica won Sports Betting Analyst of the Year honors, while the network’s Daily Wager program captured Sports Betting Video Show of the Year.
“In this first full year of expanding the scope of the association to include sports betting, I’m thrilled to see the quality of our nominees and winners,” said FSGA President Paul Charchian. “The innovation and talent we’re seeing is unparalleled and the future of our industry is bright.”
The 29 awards were voted on by FSGA membership, a media judging panel and fan vote.
The FSGA will induct a new Hall of Fame honoree and name the recipient of the Matthew Berry Game Changer Award at its Summer Conference, to be held June 15-16 in Dallas-Frisco, Texas. For more information, visit thefsga.org.
