Justin Park – RotoQL

Founded by the number one ranked Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) player Saahil Sud (COO) and Justin Park (CEO), RotoQL has created a portfolio of sports data tools and technologies aimed at better informing and engaging viewers with in-play sports content.

“We see it as an over $6 billion annual opportunity in the U.S. regulated sports betting market by 2023 with only a subset of states participating,” said Justin Park, CEO and Founder of RotoQL.

“The industry will need to reduce the friction for bettors who are currently wagering through offshore services, and especially address new bettors who are not wagering at all because they view it as too complicated.”

Updating the market, RotoQL will use its secured capital to grow its resources and build up its commercial channels for the US DFS markets.

Further to its announcement RotoQL has launched its new tailored BetQL product for the pending US licensed sports betting market.

“BetQL will focus on providing data designed to aid players in “bet discovery” — guiding them to the value on the betting board. The product will be launched against the possibility of a positive ruling in favour of New Jersey to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, or PASPA” details RotoQL in its corporate statement.
