Boom Entertainment Acquires NBC Sports Predictor to Accelerate Its Daily Fantasy Sports Growth

New York, NY, September 01, 2023 — The fastest growing new daily fantasy sports product will now be added to one of the most popular free-to-play sports prediction apps in the country, Boom Entertainment announced today.

The NY-based sports and gaming company has finalized an agreement with Comcast to acquire NBC Sports Predictor, a gaming app that has welcomed nearly two million Americans who have submitted tens of millions of predictions over the past four years. Boom Entertainment had been NBC Sports’ development and operating partner of the product since its launch.

“NBC Sports Predictor has been a significant part of Boom’s story since its launch,” said Stephen A. Murphy, co-founder and CEO of Boom Entertainment. “This was the first product we built that attracted millions of sports fans, and we are honored to become stewards of the product and introduce new ways to play for sports fans.”

”Over the last several years, NBC Sports Predictor had been a key asset for NBC Sports as it utilized the product to increase audience engagement. NBC Sports and Boom Entertainment will continue to look for ways to collaborate in future gaming initiatives.”

The product, which will be re-branded Predictor, will continue to offer its popular free contests across multiple sports. Several new game formats will also debut this fall.

“We are launching our first of several interactive game shows on the platform, starting with Coin Flip Live – a free game where viewers can win money just by guessing heads or tails,” said Murphy. “And we’re integrating our award-winning real-money fantasy sports platform, Boom Fantasy, into the product so that fans can play for higher stakes in applicable states.”

“NBC Sports Predictor was named ‘Best New Game’ by the eGaming Review North America Awards in 2020. Boom Entertainment has been honored with several EGR awards, including Best Fantasy Sports Operator, Best Freeplay Gaming Supplier, and Employer of the Year.”

Author A.D. Wolf’s New Book, Daddy’s Home, Offers a Small Glimpse of the Working-Dad Life

Author A.D. Wolf’s New Book, Daddy’s Home, Offers a Small Glimpse of the Working-Dad Life

New York, NY, August 31, 2023 — A.D. Wolf, who was born in a military hospital in San Antonio, Texas, in December of 1991, has completed his new book, “Daddy’s Home”: a meaningful and engaging illustrated story about fatherhood.

Growing up in Texas with his mother and two brothers, Author A.D. Wolf was an outdoorsman, always playing outside in the nearby woods whenever he could.

In 2008, his mother moved them to Arkansas, where he got his GED and continued writing until he met his wife, Katherine, when he was twenty-two. They were soon married in 2016, and after three years, they had their first daughter together.

Wolf shares, “It warms your heart to hear them running across the house as you walk through the door after a long day at work to your kid screaming with glee, ‘Daddy’s home!’ From chasing a speedy toddler around the house as you try to wrangle her into a bath, to the insistent wiggling as then you try to fight her to go to sleep next to you at bedtime, this small glimpse of the working-dad life will warm your heart and have you cherish the little crazy moments that children bring to you as they grow from the little babies that you’ve held in your arms since birth to the young adult that takes on life like a boss and flirts with boys and beyond.”
