For The Love of Sports

Our Story

The idea for The Fan's Place was born out of a desire to find a way for everyone to win from their love of sports. The brothers, Rory and Connor, had been playing fantasy sports for years and realized that the casual fan needed something different.

They designed a Beta gameplay that was tested in the fall of 2020, and even though it went well, it still didn't feel right. They knew that building a B2B business was a better fit for their skillset and the big players in fantasy sports weren't in that market. Having spent many hours watching sports in bars, and never having participated in a single loyalty program, they knew that there was a market for a more engaging customer loyalty experience.

They took the consumer approved gameplay and pivoted The Fan's Place into a platform that helps businesses win and keep customers through gamification and loyalty tracks. 

Our Vision

A platform that ‘removes the house’ where businesses and consumers both profit off their love of sports.

Our Mission

The Fan’s Place is focused on building new and innovative ways for businesses to engage their customers using fantasy sports-style contests.

Our Values

Be Kind

Be Curious

The Older, Better-Looking Brother
Rory Billing
Co-Founder

Rory has a long history of bad ideas for new endeavors. Knowing that Connor is much better at picking winners, he decided to team up with him to create The Fan’s Place. Also a long-suffering, die-hard Cincinnati sports fan, he ran his first fantasy baseball league at 12 and looks forward to ensuring that other sports fans get as much joy out of the game as he does.
