NEW YORK – August 12, 2024 – Fantasy lifethe leading fantasy sports and sports betting media company founded by Matthew Berry, today announced the acquisition of Guillotine Leagues, the fast-growing fantasy gaming platform that offers a new take on fantasy football. The The introduction of Guillotine Leagues provides the sports community with another top-tier fantasy offering. The highly addictive game features weekly eliminations, star players on waivers, leagues that restart every week throughout the season, and unprecedented excitement for all fans.
“I loved the game so much that I bought the company,” said Fantasy Life founder Matthew Berry. “After 25 years in the industry, I thought I’d seen it all. But I’m obsessed with the format and everyone I invite to play feels the same way. Now I want to invite the whole world to play. At Fantasy Life, we’re always trying to push the boundaries. Guillotine League’s engaging format is a perfect fit for that.”
As part of the acquisition, Paul Charchian, founder of Guillotine Leagues and member of the Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association Hall of Fame, will join Fantasy Life as director of Guillotine Leagues. Paul is the former president of the FSGA and led the association from 2008 to 2019. He developed the platform in 2020 and led the company through its historic growth.
Guillotine Leagues start with four to 18 teams. Instead of head-to-head matches, each week the lowest scoring team in the league is eliminated. Forever. The last team standing at the end of the season is crowned the winner. Each week, teams battle to avoid elimination, creating an atmosphere where every point counts. When a team is eliminated, its entire roster is made available to the rest of the league, giving other members a chance to claim those players on the waiver list. This means injuries can no longer ruin your season. Guillotine Leagues offer unparalleled flexibility and excitement, ensuring that every player stays engaged and competitive all season long.
The revamped version of Fantasy Life’s Guillotine Leagues platform is now available, having won the Best Product Experience/Operator award at the annual Fantasy Sports & Gaming Association (FSGA) Awards last year.
