RotoHog is the consumer facing Fantasy Sports website for Fastpoint Games, a digital platform developer that designs, implements and markets fantasy services for media and advertising partners. The company builds, delivers and manages co-branded fantasy sports games for major media companies, sports companies and professional sports leagues.

Their signature stock exchange game is a budget-based, high-roster-turnover style fantasy sports game that combines traditional fantasy scoring with a stock market-style trading floor for baseball, basketball, American football, and Association Football (soccer). The company also delivers traditional commissioner and pick-em style fantasy sports games.

RotoHog has also branched out to entertainment games with the Rose Ceremony game for the Reality TV show The Bachelor and the Us Weekly Celebrity Fantasy League.

RotoHog is also the provider of nba.com's NBA Stock Exchange and commissioner games and Brazilian media company Grupo RBS's first ever Fantasy Soccer game. In 2009, RotoHog began to provide games for Fox Sports en Español and the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball tour.

In June 2009, RotoHog closed a multi-year deal with Sporting News to power the sports media company's suite of fantasy sports games. Sporting News VP Jeff Gerttula commented, "In order to take our games to the next level, we wanted to align with somebody intensely focused on the space, was committed to a strong [business-to-business] solution, and wasn’t satisfied with developing the same old off-the-shelf products,"

In March 2010, RotoHog began powering the MySpace Bracket Challenge for the 2010 NCAA college basketball tournament. At the same time, the company announced that it would be launching its first commissioner-style baseball game on its own site.
