Scout Gaming Group has signed an agreement with UK firm Starpick for delivery of its Daily Fantasy Sport platform.
StarPick owns 100 per cent of the Indian company Starpick Fantasy which, during the spring, will launch Daily Fantasy Sport in India with special focus on cricket.
Under the terms of the agreement, StarPick gains access to Scout Gaming’s complete DFS platform, enabling it to offer DFS to end users. The launch is scheduled for the end of March 2018, with cricket as the first offering. Additional sports are planned to be introduced later in the year.
”To date, we have focused our sales activities in Europe but the potential for DFS in India is largely why the agreement with StarPick is exciting,” said Andreas Ternström, CEO at Scout Gaming.
“Cricket is the dominating sport in India which makes it possible to reach a large number of potential DFS players. Also, European football has many followers in India which, over time, will contribute to increase the network liquidity, for example the Indian Premier League. As a result of the cooperation with StarPick we will be able to offer cricket to all of our customers going forward.”
Trigam Muhkerjee, co-founder and COO at StarPick, said: "We are proud to launch StarPick Daily Fantasy Sport in India. Scout Gaming’s sophisticated DFS platform in combination with our domain expertise, in particular cricket, makes us convinced that we will offer a player experience that will be well received in India."
