Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Principles of Consolidation | The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and non-wholly owned subsidiaries where the Company has a controlling interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of such interim results.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include allocating the fair value of purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, accruals for contingent liabilities, convertible notes, equity instruments issued in share-based payment arrangements, and accounting for income taxes, including the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with remaining maturities at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents, including balances held in the Company’s money market account and time-based deposits. Restricted cash primarily represents cash on deposit with financial institutions in support of a letter of credit outstanding in favor of the Company’s landlord for office space. The restricted cash balance has been excluded from the cash balance and is classified as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheets. On June 27, 2022, the Company entered into a time-based deposit totaling $50.0 million which accrues interest monthly at a rate of 2.0% and matures on September 27, 2022. No interest is paid until the settlement date of September 27, 2022. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same on the consolidated statement of cash flows (in thousands):
| June 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 272,671 |  |  | $ | 374,294 |
Restricted cash | 6,138 |  |  | 5,112 |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 278,809 |  |  | $ | 379,406 |
Cash Reserved for Users The Company maintains separate bank accounts to segregate users’ funds from operational funds.
Short-term investments | Short-term investmentsThe Company classifies its time-based deposits as cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments if it had a term at inception of greater or less than 90 days in accordance with ASC 320, Investments - Debt and Equity Securities. The Company reassesses the appropriateness of the classification of its investments at the end of each reporting period.
Certain Risks and Concentrations | Certain Risks and Concentrations Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of demand deposits, time-based deposits and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions that at times exceed applicable insurance limits. The majority of the Company’s software and computer systems utilize data processing, storage capabilities and other services provided by Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services, which cannot be easily switched to another cloud service provider. As such, any disruption of the Company’s interference with Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services could adversely impact the Company’s operations and business.
Segment and Reporting Unit Information | Segment and Reporting Unit Information Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which discrete financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is determined to be the CODM. The CODM reviews financial information and makes resource allocation decisions at the consolidated group level. The Company has two operating segments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, streaming and wagering.
Licensed Content | Licensed Content During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company entered into various license agreements to obtain rights to certain live sports events. Costs incurred in acquiring certain rights to live sporting events are accounted for in accordance with ASC 920, Entertainment—Broadcasters (“ASC 920”). These program rights are expensed in a manner consistent with how it expects to monetize the licensed content, which is primarily based on subscription revenue.
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar while the functional currency of each non-U.S. subsidiary is determined based on the primary economic environment in which such subsidiary operates. The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues, costs, and expenses and historical rates for equity. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining other comprehensive income (loss).
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separately account for an embedded conversion feature as an equity component in certain circumstances. A convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for an embedded conversion feature unless separate accounting is required for an embedded conversion feature as a derivative or under the substantial premium model. The ASU simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. Further, the ASU requires enhanced disclosures about convertible instruments. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. The Company adopted the ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective method. Upon adoption at January 1, 2022, the Company made certain adjustments in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note 10) which consists of an increase of $75.3 million in Convertible notes, net of discount, a net decrease of $87.9 million in Additional paid-in capital and a net decrease of $12.7 million in Accumulated deficit. Additionally, from January 1, 2022, as related to the 2026 Convertible Notes (see Note 10) we will no longer incur non-cash interest expense for the amortization of debt discount related to the previously separated equity component. After adoption, the Company accounts for the 2026 Convertible Notes as single liability measured at amortized cost. The Company did not elect the fair value option. The Company will apply the if converted methodology in computing diluted earnings per share if and when profitability is achieved. The following table summarizes the adjustments made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 as a result of applying the modified retrospective method in adopting ASU 2020-06 (in thousands):
| As Reported December 31, 2021 |  | ASU 2020-06 Adjustments |  | As Adjusted January 1, 2022
2026 Convertible Notes | $ | 316,354 |  |  | $ | 75,264 |  |  | $ | 391,618 |
Additional paid-in capital | $ | 1,691,206 |  |  | $ | (87,946) |  |  | $ | 1,603,260 |
Accumulated deficit | $ | (1,009,293) |  |  | $ | 12,682 |  |  | $ | (996,611) |
Under the modified retrospective method, the Company does not need to restate the comparative periods in transition and will continue to present financial information and disclosures for periods before January 1, 2022 in accordance with guidance under ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options (ASC 470-20). The adoption did not impact previously reported amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and the basic and diluted net loss per share amounts. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses.” The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company adopted this ASU in January 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-02, Entertainment-Films-Other Assets-Film Costs (Subtopic 926-20) and Entertainment-Broadcasters-Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Subtopic 920-350): Improvements to Accounting for Costs of Films and License Agreements for Program Materials, to align the accounting for production costs of an episodic television series with the accounting for production costs of films by removing the content distinction for capitalization. The amendments also require that an entity reassess estimates of the use of a film for a film in a film group and account for any changes prospectively. In addition, this guidance requires an entity to test for impairment a film or license agreement within the scope of ASC 920-350 at the film group level, when the film or license agreement is predominantly monetized with other films and/or licensed agreements. The Company adopted this ASU in January 2022, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes a study to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements properly reflect the change.
