Fantasy sports mobile apps have become one of the top apps used across 
the entire globe and have revolutionized the entire sports industry. In this 
blog, we will have a look at why most fantasy sports companies turn to 
mobile app development and what the future holds for fantasy sports mobile 
apps.
What Exactly Are Fantasy Sports Apps & How Do They Work?

WHY SHOULD 
FANTASY SPORTS 
COMPANIES SHIFT 
TOWARDS MOBILE 
APP DEVELOPMENT?

The statistics indicate that the digital audience prefers using mobile 
applications over web applications, which is attributed to the increasing 
usage of mobile phones. Around 4.57 billion people use the internet over 
their mobiles. Smartphone usage has dramatically increased over the years 
as people have drifted from using the web to mobiles due to cheap data 
rates, affordability, ease of use, and user-friendly digital infrastructure and 
interface. In 2018, close to 40% of the fantasy sports user base was on 
mobile phones. This percentage will have increased during the pandemic-
induced lockdown.
Games are easily downloaded on phones using the mobile operator’s portals 
and are instantly installed and ready to use. Thus, these are clear indicators 
of the fact that the future of fantasy sports companies lies in mobile apps 
and so the mobile-first approach makes perfect sense to further enhance the 
reach of this industry. Therefore, fantasy sports businesses must turn to 
fantasy sports app development.

WHAT DOES THE 
FUTURE HOLD FOR 
FANTASY SPORTS 
APPS?

Fantasy sports companies are already striving hard to develop an ideal 
app for their clients. Companies have started creating eye-catching 
advertisements, especially on social media and TV, to gain new users and 
build a brand reputation; there are talks on prospective use of Augmented 
Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) which help provide exciting real-life 
experiences when playing the games; fantasy sports apps may also rely 
on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver personalized user experience by 
analyzing data through deep-research such as studying a player’s intellect 
and endurance and comparing the abilities of one player with another 
which helps users in predicting the game outcome and guides them 
efficiently; Unlike gambling or betting, this is a game of skill by law and so, 
sports enthusiasts are willing to dish out money to play; the growth of 
smartphone usage also bodes well for the digital gaming space industry.

Due to these reasons, many investors are looking to invest in esports 
apps. While it is quite a challenge to develop apps that are light, user-
friendly, and perform well, the industry is booming globally, with many 
sports fans and lovers diving deeper into the statistics and looking to hone 
their skills and earn rewards through fantasy leagues. The opportunities 
are enormous. So, it is very much likely to become a huge market with 
billions to make for all stakeholders.
