SIS and Inspired to launch virtual sports streaming service

SIS has struck a long-term deal with Inspired Gaming to distribute the supplier’s full suite of virtual games to digital customers through SIS Stream.

Under the agreement, SIS and Inspired will begin operating the new ‘Virtuals Connect’ service, which will enable operators and platform providers around the world to access virtual games.

Virtuals Connect will be a fully managed product offering, without any initial capital outlay on infrastructure for each customer, while operators that use the new platform will also have the ability to enhance the service with their own branded video player.

Content available via the new platform will include Inspired’s full range of virtual sports products, such as the popular Rush Football 2 title.

“Innovation is at the core of everything we do, be it with retail or online solutions, and our agreement with Inspired marks another critical milestone in our development,” SIS director of strategic development, Paul Baker, said.

Steven Rogers, chief commercial officer for digital games at Inspired, added: “At Inspired we are continually looking for ways to diversify and grow our business, and the availability of Virtuals Connect across multiple digital channels, enabled by the power of SIS Stream, allows us to bring more of our market-leading content to yet more operators globally.”
