Global Daily Fantasy Sports lands Microgame approval

Global Daily Fantasy Sports has received final certification to launch its services with Italian operator Microgame. In February, the two companies signed a two-year exclusive deal for Microgame to deliver Global’s daily fantasy sports product to all of its licensed operators in Italy. Following integration and testing work, Global and Microgame have now secured approval from Italian gaming regulator Agenzia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli to proceed with this arrangement. Microgame joins Global’s previously announced network partners. “Strategically this is an important relationship for us; Microgame is a top tier B2B provider in the Italian market and brings with it additional new partners to our Italian network,” Global’s chief executive Darcy Krogh said. “This will assist us greatly in growing the network. “In addition the Microgame team has vast experience marketing in a networked environment which will benefit all our network partners.” Marco Castaldo, general manager of Microgame, added: “We are really excited to make DFS available to the operators in our network. “With our market-leading liquidity, we intend to work with our customers and with our partners to deliver the tremendous potential of this game for Italian players.”
