Fan Arena Fantasy Platform
Fantasy SportsFirst PartyAvailability: StandaloneFan Arena licenses and operates its own hosted fantasy platform for leagues, media companies, and betting brands. The current product supports daily and season-long duration, draft, budget, and auction allocation, total-points or head-to-head scoring, and configurable transfers, substitutions, waivers, and boosters.
Delivery is a managed, branded web product rather than source-code ownership. Fan Arena hosts the service, configures the game and design, integrates sports data and identity, and can add payment connections and end-user support. The client owns the game name, branding, and marketing while paying to use Fan Arena's code.
Sports data is a separate procurement boundary. Fan Arena usually integrates the client's API, may source a feed for larger sports, or can use manual administration for niche competitions. Payment processing is optional and depends on a PSP that accepts the proposed fantasy model.
Fan Arena says the client owns and can export user and fantasy data, but the public FAQ does not establish controller, processor, retention, subprocessor, or international-transfer roles. Those roles still need a DPA and data-flow schedule.
Integration: The order should name SneakersGames NV, the game format and rules, client domain and branding, web or WebView route, SSO and account identifiers, sports-data provider and correction process, prize and payment flow, merchant of record, player terms, licenses, controller and processor roles, hosting region, support hours and severity targets, reporting, code and configuration ownership, complete data-export schema, transition help, and deletion evidence. A client should not infer gambling approval from a successful free-to-play or media deployment.
