The newly acquired business will expand Vivid Seats’ operations into the online gaming sector, allowing the platform to utilize its technology capabilities and attract customers by offering them the opportunity to participate in daily fantasy gaming.
“Vivid Seats and Betcha share a mutual commitment to helping fans experience the thrill of live events combined with a new and innovative, yet simple way to play.

The Chicago-based online ticket selling platform provides a wide selection of events and tickets in North America, driven by its belief that everyone should “Experience It Live.” Vivid Seats also offers an industry-leading rewards program that allows fans to earn points on every purchase they make.
