Potawatomi Casino Hotel

PENN Entertainment, Inc.
How a family racetrack in Grantville, Pennsylvania grew into a 43-property casino operator - and why it just walked away from ESPN to bet on its own brand.
FTN (For The Numbers)
FTN - short for For The Numbers - is a Las Vegas-based sports data and media company that turns advanced NFL, MLB and NBA numbers into fantasy and betting tools. Launched in 2020 (when the only live sport was Korean baseball), it now runs a network of subscription sites for season-long fantasy, daily fantasy, and sports betting, publishes articles, podcasts and livestreams, and is the new home of Aaron Schatz's DVOA metric after Football Outsiders closed. It serves both consumers who want an edge in their leagues and B2B clients who license its proprietary data.
Birches Health
Birches Health is a digital behavioral health company treating gambling addiction and other process addictions - sports betting, video gaming, internet, sex and pornography - entirely online and covered by insurance. Founded in 2023 and based in New York City, it pairs licensed counselors who specialize in gambling disorder with peer mentors, group therapy and financial-wellness coaching, available in all 50 states. The company works with 100+ insurance plans and more than 18 state governments to reach patients who have historically had nowhere specialized to turn.
DubClub
DubClub is a Chicago-based platform where sports bettors find, follow, and subscribe to vetted handicappers ("cappers") for premium picks and analysis delivered by text, email, and Discord. It gives creators the tools to monetize their betting content - payments, subscriber messaging, and community - while giving amateur bettors one trustworthy place to access expert plays. Backed by a $7.5M Series A led by Renegade Partners, DubClub's tagline is "Win More Together."
Sleeper
Sleeper is a social-first fantasy sports and gaming platform that lets friends draft, trade, chat, and compete across the NFL, NBA, soccer, esports and more, all inside one mobile app. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Sleeper grew to millions of active users with zero ad spend by treating fantasy sports as a place to hang out with friends rather than a transactional web tool. It has since expanded into daily fantasy 'Picks' and prediction markets.
