Streaming TV service Fubo TV announced on Tuesday it had acquired Balto, a software development company that builds tools to allow users to launch sports contests.
The deal comes less than a month after Fubo TV executives said the company intended to offer a sports betting feature to complement its sports-centric streaming TV service.
“Our goal with wagering is to develop a new revenue stream for Fubo TV, and one which we believe will be an important contributor to our business,” a company spokesperson said in early November. “We expect to share more tactical details as appropriate. And, of course, we expect to continue to grow our subscribers which will positively impact any decision we make on wagering.”
On Tuesday, part of that plan was laid out when Fubo TV said it had acquired Balto, a Y Combinator-backed software development firm that makes applications and other tools for the $150 million online sports betting industry. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
