Our Story
The Action Network is the market leader and most trusted source for sports fans, enhancing their betting and entertainment experience through original news, premium insights, betting tools, data and odds.
The company was founded in October 2017, after The Chernin Group (TCG) acquired three well-known businesses in the sports betting and daily fantasy world and combined them into one entity under the Action umbrella. Those three companies -- SportsAction, a bet-tracking and scores app; Sports Insights, a high-end betting terminal for pros; and FantasyLabs, a daily fantasy modeling platform-- offered both free services and subscription-based tools to their loyal users and have served as the base on which Action has been built.
Our Mission
As a sports betting product and media company, The Action Network brings a unique lens to the world of sports, mixing premium content, proprietary tools and in-depth analytics to make sports fans with something at stake smarter about betting.
Action officially launched its website in January 2018, five months before the Supreme Court lifted the federal ban on sports betting. Taking advantage of the rapidly evolving sports media landscape and audience demand for credible sports betting products and information, the company has hired several prominent industry executives and personalities, forged exclusive partnerships with professional leagues, and added to its already-advanced tech platform.
