Social media self-promoter launches daily fantasy sports venture

With a social media fan base of around 30 million, the high-living, self-promoting Dan Bilzerian clearly has the mix right when it comes to creating an interesting image, and he is now leveraging this in a new venture into the daily fantasy sports sector.

Bilzerian’s extravagant lifestyle and over-the-top antics with models, private jet travel and wild parties is part of the theme on the new site, branded blitzfantasy.com, which is a white label operation from B2B supplier iTEAM.

The easy to use Blitz Fantasy app makes it simple to create an account, draft a team, enter a contest and follow along for real time scoring, and Bilzerian will make regular appearances and be active on the website.

“I’ll be on Blitz Fantasy picking my line-ups and connecting with fans,” said Bilzerian in a press release this week. “My passion is creating lucrative opportunities around the world and online. While doing so on Blitz Fantasy, I’ll also be contributing to some of the causes that I care about most.”

Player incentives will include exotic journeys with the internet playboy, and alongside regular contests, Blitz Fantasy will run philanthropic contests such as a Veterans’ Day event to benefit military service charitable organisations.

Gabe Hunterton, CEO of iTEAM Network, says that the Blitz Fantasy app is available for both iOS and Android devices.
