Key Points
New Complex Bets series include In Motion, Worst Take and Sharp Tank, each bringing together culture, sports betting and trading
The platform will also run an ‘always-on’ slate of social programming, such as Office Predictions, Team Previews and Fanatics Pick'em

Complex Bets – a sports betting and trading content platform launched in partnership between Complex and Fanatics Sports & Casino – has expanded its slate of original programming to include three new series. 

According to the release, Compex Bets’ expanded programming helps the platform “connect sports, culture, fandom, betting and prediction markets through personality-driven storytelling, expert analysis and interactive fan engagement.”

New series include In Motion, where host Ashley Nicole Moss conducts a sit-down conversation with athletes, artists and cultural figures to discuss sports, style, music and the “business of being famous in 2026.”

Complex Bets will also debut Worst Take – a sports-and-culture debate series hosted by radio personality Keith McPherson – and longform sports talk series Sharp Tank. 

The newly released series help broaden the collaboration between Complex and Fanatics Sports & Casino, which previously debuted shows such as Complex On The Scene with Juju Adams.

The platform will also run an “always-on” slate of social programming, such as Office Predictions, Team Previews, Fanatics Pick'em, Good Juju Bad Juju, The Method and Bet The Buzz.

On September 2, Fanatics Betting and Gaming launched Fanatics Sports & Casino, an application which consolidates sports betting, casino games and prediction market trading under one login.

The launch follows DraftKings’ unveiling of its own “Super App” in March – DraftKings Sports & Casino – designed to bring together sportsbook, predictions, casino and lottery under one account and wallet. 

Fanatics and DraftKings – as well as FanDuel – were all selected by the NFL to sign new multi-year partnership agreements on August 27, granting the ability to utilize NFL data such as real-time play-by-play statistics via Genius Sports. 

The latest agreement also outlines that all three operators must adhere to the NFL's “core game integrity policies” and will work in partnership across responsible gambling, intelligence and advocacy initiatives.

Fanatics Sportsbook was fined $20,000 by the Colorado Division of Gaming on September 1 for sending promotional offers to a VIP user who had previously joined the state’s self-exclusion list
