Since launching in June 2026, GetPicks has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and attracted more than 35,000 registered users.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The funding will support GetPicks&#8217; U.S. expansion and further product development. This includes its social features, which let users follow other players, copy lineups, and earn rewards when others tail their picks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>At a glance<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"caps\">$3 million seed round backed by gaming industry angels and operators.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Withdrawals processed in under five seconds.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes awarded since launch.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>More than 35,000 registered users, with the platform available in 21 U.S. states.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>One-tap tailing, copy rewards, referrals, and in-app incentives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Backed by experienced gaming operators<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The investor group includes founders of publicly traded gaming companies, executives from major U.S. lottery and sweepstakes platforms, and operators behind multi-billion-dollar gaming exits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Together, they bring decades of experience across U.S. gaming, lottery, sweepstakes, and gaming infrastructure, giving GetPicks an experienced group of backers as it expands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The founders are serial entrepreneurs whose previous work spans consumer apps, financial products, performance marketing and affiliate distribution. GetPicks brings that experience into daily fantasy sports, with a focus on making the product easier to use and reducing friction from withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Winnings in seconds, not business days<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Daily fantasy has grown into a mainstream U.S. pastime, but much of it still runs on legacy financial infrastructure. Deposits go through card processors, withdrawals go through banks, and players absorb the delays and friction that come with both. Payouts can take days to arrive and often longer over weekends and holidays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">GetPicks uses advanced payment systems to process withdrawals in under five seconds, around the clock<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Bringing social play into the app<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">GetPicks brings sharing, discovery, and rewards together in one social experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Users can:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<li>\n<p>Follow other players and see their lineups.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Tail a full lineup in one tap, making it easier to play alongside someone they follow.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Bring friends through referrals and access in-app incentives.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Earn rewards when other users copy their lineups.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/upload\/2026\/10\/3daf97313055d93148e41dab8a685a6f.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>GetPicks lets players pick stats, compete in clubs and copy winning lineups in one tap. <\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Players can publish their lineups and build a following, while others can discover their picks, follow their activity and copy a full lineup in one tap. Players earn rewards when their lineup is copied, which gives them an incentive to keep sharing and attracting followers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">This creates a flywheel. Shared lineups help users discover players to follow, copying turns that interest into participation, and rewards encourage creators to publish their next lineup. The experience of making picks becomes connected to the experience of sharing them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">These features also let users see who is winning and whose lineups are performing well. For creators, from newcomers to more established names, that visible track record offers a way to build credibility, attract followers and grow a community around their picks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>Early traction and U.S. expansion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since launch, GetPicks has attracted more than 35,000 registered users and awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes across 21 U.S. states. With the new funding, GetPicks plans to expand its creator and community programs, develop its social features and grow across eligible U.S. markets as the NBA season gets underway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong>About GetPicks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">GetPicks is a social daily fantasy sports platform built around instant withdrawals, with winnings processed in under five seconds.
