This launch comes on the heels of PrizePicks’ ambitious expansion plans for its Atlanta headquarters, which include creating an additional 1,000 jobs in the region.

In line with its growth strategy, the company also announced key appointments earlier this year, such as Renee White as Chief People Officer and Phil Sherwood as Senior Director of Responsible Gaming.

Adam Boothe, Senior Director of Esports at PrizePicks, emphasized the educational aspect of The Esports Lab. “The Esports Lab provides educational resources and in-depth research digestible for newcomers. With the addition of live streaming capabilities and real-time scoring, it is an unparalleled offering that will play a crucial role in expanding esports to the masses,” Boothe explained.
