SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BetAmerica.com, the trusted online website for horse racing and greyhound betting has launched FanEx Sports, a new hub for real money daily fantasy sports contests. In doing so, BetAmerica becomes the first legal, multi-vertical, real money gaming site in the U.S. Unlike existing daily fantasy sports websites, FanEx Sports contests are designed to be fun, easy-to-play and allow players to compete with likeminded fans in both free and paid daily fantasy games.

At launch, BetAmerica will offer NFL and MLB contests, and will add NBA and additional sports in the coming months. To play, fans simply create an account with BetAmerica, place a deposit, choose from any of the open contests and begin creating their own teams. Unique to BetAmerica is EasyScore™, a simplified scoring system which allows players to easily tally point totals, for example, one passing yard equals one point in quarterback only contests. With BetAmerica, players pay to enter fantasy sports contests for a guaranteed cash prize to the winner.
"We understand online players have high expectations about the quality of their gaming experiences. But that doesn't mean daily fantasy sports contests should be too complicated for players," said John Ford, Chief Executive Officer for BAM Software, which powers BetAmerica.com. "We've created daily fantasy contests that are both fun and easy, and cater to a wider audience than other daily fantasy sites. There is a lot of discussion about the expanded legalization of online gaming in the U.S., yet BetAmerica today already offers legal betting on racing and the chance to win real money on professional sports games."
BetAmerica has paid out over $100 million to customers since its inception in 2007. The company verifies the identity of all players on its website, ensuring the maximum security for all users. All deposits are safe and held in segregated accounts.
