The duo have initially rolled out a core fantasy sports offering for the World Cup, to enrich customer experience and promote fan engagement during football’s global celebration.

FSI’s igaming offering at Africabet.com will gradually unfold with a variety of fantasy sports products in the 2018-19 football season and the ability for the addition of “Fantasy NBA” in October.
