Fanatics Sportsbook Partnering With Internet Shooting Star To Offer Fans Up To $100,000

Sports betting and basketball enthusiasts have a new reason to get excited, thanks to Fanatics Sportsbook's latest offering.

Further showcasing its dedication to creating an unparalleled user experience, the sports platform and merchandise giant is offering users a chance to win a share of $100,000 in a new interactive experience taking place this week only.

In an exclusive statement, Fanatics Sportsbook announced the launch of a new interactive experience this week, allowing users to test their prediction skills against basketball influencer and renowned shooting coach Chris "Lethal Shooter" Matthews.

The sportsbook is offering customers the opportunity to make free predictions on how many three-point shots Lethal Shooter can make out of 20 attempts.

If bettors guess correctly, they will collect their share of $100,000 in FanCash, which can be used throughout the Fanatics ecosystem, including on merchandise, collectibles, bonus bets, and more.

"FanCash has become a huge part of the Fanatics Sportsbook experience and a major reason for picking Fanatics over the competition," the company told The Blast.

The competition runs until Wednesday, June 4, at 12:00 PM EST, with winners being revealed on June 5.

Unsurprisingly, Fanatics' new promotion has generated excitement across the sports world, including from the NBA, which shared details about the contest on its official social channels.

"The challenge is on!" the league captioned its post on X, formerly Twitter.

Some of Lethal Shooter's biggest fans and followers also weighed in on the fun, with one saying, "If you're standing in one spot, I'll say you're making 11 out of 20."

Another user said the social media influencer would go "16 [out of] 20," while another commenter said he'd drain them all.

Lethal Shooter's upcoming collaboration with Fanatics Sportsbook comes days after the athlete posted about his light-hearted feud with the NBA's Allen Iverson.

In a recent social media comment, the basketball legend questioned whether Lethal Shooter could make his three-point shots when it mattered most.

"Well now, Fanatics Sportsbook is putting AI's claim to the test and setting up Lethal Shooter to either rise to the moment or falter under pressure," the company's press release said.

Fanatics' new promo aligns with its reputation among avid bettors for providing an unmatched user experience to its loyal customers.

In May 2025, the company made headlines with its "Fair Play Policy" during the NBA playoffs, which protected bettors' sports picks if a player was injured during the first half of a contest.

"If a player unexpectedly exits a game early, Fanatics Sportsbook pays out the Under as a winner and refunds any Over single player prop bets," Fanatics said about their policy. "If the player is part of a customer's parlay, Fanatics Sportsbook will click the Under as a winner and void the parlay leg for any Overs and keep the parlay active with recalculated odds."

This policy came into effect during the Golden State Warriors' matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, when their star player, Stephen Curry, was removed from the game due to a left hamstring strain.

Consequently, the company returned over $500,000 in wagers and even cashed one bettor's parlay, netting them a win of a lifetime.

Although Curry's injury came at the most unfortunate time for him and his team, it also helped a specific Fanatics bettor turn a $5,000 wager into $224,773.

According to a previous report, the customer had created a four-leg parlay featuring specific props, such as a soccer match between Milan and Barcelona and the Golden State Warriors' moneyline.

After Curry's injury sparked the company's policy, the bet's revised odds were +9240, making the customer's $200,000 win the largest ever saved by the company's innovative rule.

And the exhilarating wins for bettors didn't end there. The sportsbook made dreams come true after refunding more than $250,000 in bets after the Boston Celtics lost Kristaps Porzingis to injury during their game against the New York Knicks.

The Fair Play Policy voided the seven-footer's props, allowing another bettor to win a five-leg parlay with +2375 odds, turning a $1,000 wager into more than $24,000 in winnings.
