Dafabet primed for DFS launch via Scout Gaming deal
Operator signs licensing agreement with Scout Gaming to offer DFS and pool betting in Asia
Dafabet is set to launch a daily fantasy sports (DFS) product in the first half of 2019 after signing a licensing deal with Scout Gaming.
As part of the agreement, the Asian operator will integrate Scout Gaming’s DFS and pool betting platform and is expected to join the supplier’s global liquidity network.
Dafabet marketing director Nikos Diakoumopoulos said: “We have a history of successful growth across multiple product verticals and look forward to be able to introduce Scout Gaming’s Fantasy Sports platform to our player base.
“Fantasy Sports holds great potential and complements our existing portfolio perfectly,” he added.
Scout revenues will depend on how many of Dafabet’s customers play the supplier’s portfolio of games, while joining the larger network of customers is expected to generate more significant prize pools.
Scout Gaming CEO Andreas Ternström said: “We are proud that Dafabet selected us as their fantasy sports partner.
“Dafabet is considered to be one of the largest private operators in Asia and is highly respected within the industry on a global basis. It is clearly very satisfying to sign up another tier 1 operator.”
Scout Gaming also supplies DFS products to Betsson and ComeOn and Paf.
Asian-facing Dafabet was founded in 2004 and operates with a licence from the Philippines.
