VANCOUVER, Jan. 30, 2018 /CNW/ - Global Daily Fantasy
Sports Inc. ("Global" or the "Company") (TSX-V: DFS) is
pleased to announce that Sisal Entertainment S.p.a. (Sisal) has
joined Global's Italian facing Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Network.
Sisal has been in business more than 70 years and has more than 14
million customers in Italy. Sisal
operates in the payment and services market, gaming and betting
market with a full spectrum of products in retail and online
channels. Sisal has a network of more than 45,000 points of sale.
Sisal is one of the top 5 operators in the Italian online sports
betting market.
Global's Italian facing DFS network allows the opportunity for
multiple Italian gaming operators to join the network and pool
their user databases together to create much larger prize pool
offerings and increase contest fill-rate. With Sisal joining, our
Italian DFS network now has access to an additional registered user
database totaling over 44 million players and will increase as more
operators join the network. This user base provides the company
with an opportunity to introduce DFS through its B2B partners to an
existing betting audience.
In 2017, Italy generated €1.34B
in online gambling revenues, a 31% increase from 2016 with online
sports betting representing approximately €555M, or 41% of the
total, an increase of 59% from 2016.*
Darcy Krogh, CEO for Global Daily Fantasy Sports commented,
"Combined our two great partners represent 14% of the Italian
online sports betting market which is one of the largest gaming
markets in Europe and is growing.
We are excited for the opportunity to build our network with the
addition of new operators and creating the largest DFS network in
this regulated market."
