WagerWire

Headquarters: Los Angeles, California, USA

WagerWire, operated by Wire Industries Inc., operates the world’s first secondary marketplace for online sports bets, enabling users to buy, sell, and trade active bets, fantasy lineups, pick-’em entries, and tournament brackets in real time. Headquartered in Los Angeles, California, the company has raised $3 million in seed funding and expanded into prediction markets and daily fantasy sports pool trading. WagerWire does not accept wagers itself; instead, it functions as a technology platform that aggregates betting activity from multiple sportsbooks via API and provides analytics tools. Its portfolio tracker allows users to monitor bets from accounts at FanDuel, BetMGM, Betr, UnderDog, Caesars, and others. The company also offers a B2B API for gaming operators to embed marketplace features. Founded by Zach Doctor, Guy Dotan, and Travis Geiger, WagerWire has garnered press for its Starties awards show and a partnership with Birches Health for responsible gaming. It received regulatory approval in principle from Gibraltar in June 2026 for a prediction market product.

Detailed Review

History and Founding

WagerWire was founded in 2021 or 2022 by Zach Doctor, Guy Dotan, and Travis Geiger. The company emerged from the insight that sports bettors needed a way to exit positions early, treating bets as tradable assets. After raising a $3 million seed round in July 2022, WagerWire launched its secondary marketplace and has since expanded into daily fantasy sports pool trading and prediction markets.

Business Model

WagerWire generates revenue through transaction fees on marketplace sales, premium subscription tiers for advanced analytics and trading features, and B2B licensing of its API to sportsbooks and gaming platforms. The company does not accept, hold, or settle wagers, positioning itself as a technology and data provider rather than a gaming operator. This structure allows it to operate in regulated jurisdictions with a lighter compliance burden.

Core Products and Platforms

The flagship product is the WagerWire Marketplace, where users can buy and sell active sports bets and fantasy entries. The WagerWire iOS app provides full marketplace functionality plus portfolio tracking and odds comparison. The Bet Value Calculator and Graph help users determine fair market prices. In March 2025, WagerWire launched a DFS Pools Marketplace for trading daily fantasy sports entries. A prediction market product is in development, having received an approval in principle from Gibraltar’s regulator in June 2026. The company also offers a B2B API suite for operators to integrate bet-trading features.

Market Position and Competitors

WagerWire occupies a unique niche as the first secondary market for sports bets, differentiating itself from traditional sportsbooks and fantasy operators. It competes indirectly with platforms that offer early cash-out features, but WagerWire’s peer-to-peer trading model provides deeper liquidity and price discovery. The company has been nominated for SBC Americas Affiliate of the Year awards and has built partnerships with dozens of sportsbooks and gaming operators.

Regulatory and Licensing

WagerWire’s regulatory posture focuses on marketplace and data services, not real-money wagering. It operates under terms of service that govern its technology layer. The company received an approval in principle from the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner in June 2026 for its prediction market product, signaling an expansion into licensed territory. It also integrates responsible gaming resources through a partnership with Birches Health.

Recent Developments and News

In 2025 and 2026, WagerWire expanded into prediction markets and DFS pool trading. It co-created the Starties awards show with NEXT.io and received industry recognition. The company continues to grow its API integrations with major sportsbooks and is exploring new verticals. A partnership with Birches Health underscores its commitment to responsible gaming.
