Scout secures DFS platform deal with Paf

Scout Gaming Group has agreed to provide a daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform for Nordic gaming company Paf.

Paf already offers a range of slots, lotteries, casino, bingo and poker games to its customers, but will now expand this to include a new DFS service.

By launching DFS in partnership with Scout, Paf will become one of the first state-owned gambling operators in the Nordics to offer fantasy sports to players.

“As a good cause company we choose our partners carefully; in Scout Gaming Group we feel we have found a good and flexible partner to take us into the DFS area,” Paf director of games Kim Johansson said.

“We strongly believe that DFS will see significant growth in the years to come, and we are happy to be ahead of our competitors and offer this product to our betting- and sports-interested customers.”

Andreas Ternström, chief executive of Scout, added: “There's a rapidly growing interest in fantasy sports betting, and we are delighted that Paf chose Scout as their provider of a new fantasy sports platform.”
