News ReleaseSharpLink
SharpLink, a middleware technology company that connects sports enthusiasts, leagues, and publishers to the most relevant and timely sports betting content in the industry, announced today a strategic technology partnership with RealTime Fantasy Sports (RTFS). RTFS has utilized SharpLink technology to upgrade and enhance the overall user experience for RTFS customers while providing them with direct access to legal sportsbooks in their area for the 2020 NFL season. Currently, these services are only available for RTFS users in Colorado, New Jersey and West Virginia. “The natural overlap between fantasy sports users and sports bettors is nearly 90%, however fantasy sites are finding that they don’t have a strategy or solution to effectively convert and monetize their userbases for sportsbook revenues,” said Rob Phythian, CEO of SharpLink. “Our partnership with RTFS is a perfect example of how SharpLink can be the bridge between the platform and the sportsbook creating sustainable affiliate revenue all while staying engaged and providing a strong user experience for its audience.” SharpLink’s AI and machine learning-enabled sports betting conversion and engagement technology delivers and determines the best sportsbook betting offers and experience for each targeted user. SharpLink created a plug and play version of a contextualized betting experience for RTFS utilizing minimal internal RTFS resources. SharpLink deployed: JavaScript modules for clean and simple integration Backed by GraphQL API's and dynamically scaling cloud infrastructures Custom graphical modules and styling to complement the existing UI/UX “The future of fantasy sports will incorporate an element or connection to sports betting. We recognized quickly that as a leader and first mover in the market that we could help direct our engaged audience towards legal sports betting operators but needed help on how to efficiently develop that conversion,” said Mark Hanna, President of RTFS. “SharpLink’s technology integrated seamlessly into our platform providing our users unique information and access to legal sportsbooks in their area while allowing us to stay connected with our users rather than just passing them off to another site.” For more information on SharpLink’s products and services, please visit - www.sharplink.com About SharpLink Founded in 2019, SharpLink is a middleware technology company that connects sports enthusiasts, leagues, and publishers to the most relevant and timely sports betting content in the industry.

News ReleaseTabletop Tunes
Tabletop Tunes, the mobile application that is transforming the traditional tabletop gaming experience by providing players with beautifully-composed audio tracks to accompany their gaming experience, today announced its launch. Available for iOS and being developed for Android, the first-of-its kind adaptive music app is designed to enhance the board game renaissance the world has witnessed throughout the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The app was created by the well-known film and game composer Anthony Sabatino to help immerse gamers deeper into the world of whatever tabletop game they are playing. Tabletop Tunes features four categories and three subcategories to take gamers through magical forests, quaint villages, glorious kingdoms, the darkest of dungeons – and ultimately a dragon-slaying battlefield. Users looking for an even more lifelike experience can easily adjust the app’s intensity to match their mood and the vehemence of their particular game. For example, increasing the battle music intensity with the slider may bring in more horns or strings, while decreasing it will minimize the overall musical arrangement. The end result is a captivating new level of enchantment for gamers of all ages and experience levels. The app was built by musician and programmer Jacob Johnson and designed by artist and software developer Christie Xu. “With so many people still spending most of their time at home, I wanted to give both new and longtime tabletop gamers a much-deserved, long overdue soundtrack of their own,” said Tabletop Tunes founder Anthony Sabatino, a Los Angeles-based film composer, conductor and music producer. He has worked on nearly 100 gaming, film and television projects. “Much like accompanying music enhances the power of a great TV show or movie, Tabletop Tunes can turn any Saturday night board game into an exciting and more meaningful adventure.” Gamers who use the app can control which tune they prefer to personalize in each gaming experience. To use the app, gamers first choose a category: Explore, Town, Battle, or Miscellaneous. Next, it’s time to pick a subcategory, including Explore, Fantasy Forest, Cavernous Cave, or Dark Dungeon. From there, users can select a track, and ultimately pick from three Battle levels: Mild, Tense or Epic. An Intensity Slider allows gamers to adjust how bombastic they want their personalized game soundtrack to be, as the game continues and culminates with music that rings either victory or defeat. The Boss Battle track cannot be adjusted, however, as it is the most intense level and designed for fantasy dragon-slayers. Tabletop Tunes is free to download here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1554758193. Premium music packs are available for $3.99 per pack, or $9.99 for all three products. About Tabletop Tunes Tabletop Tunes is the first-of-its kind interactive mobile app specifically created to enhance the tabletop gaming experience. Created by the well-known film and game composer, conductor and music producer Anthony Sabatino, Tabletop Tunes allows gamers to choose the right soundtrack to amplify the mood and feel of whatever tabletop game or board game they are playing. With different levels of intensity to choose from, Tabletop Tunes can turn any Saturday night board game into an exciting and unforgettable adventure. The app is available on iOS and Android.
