Scout Gaming Group introduces Fantasy Premier League game
Fantasy sport sprovider Scout Gaming Group has introduced its new Fantasy Premier League season game, with a prize pool of €250,000.
The company claims the tournament is the world’s largest fantasy Premier League season game, in terms of the prize pool on offer, and is available for Scout Gaming’s clients around the world.
Although the game has many similarities to the official Fantasy Premier League game, the level of money prizes are a notable difference. Scout Gaming’s competition promises to pay out 1,250 prizes, including €50,000 for the overall winner. There will also be a “high-rollers” tournament, with a €2,625 buy-in.
Despite this development of a season-long game, much of Scout Gaming’s prior work has been in the daily fantasy sports sector, including its Fantasy Match-Up game.
In May, Scout reported increased losses in Q1 of 2018, despite its operating revenue more than doubling to SEK3.5m (£293,020/€329,130/$369,808).
In June, investment firm Tekkorp Capital, run by former Scientific Games Digital and NYX chief executive Matt Davey, announced a $1m strategic investment in Scout Gaming. That investment came weeks after the company agreed a deal to provide its content to SG Digital customers
