Scout Gaming, a provider of B2B fantasy sports and sports betting solutions, has announced the signing of a partnership with the Florida-based Skylands Events.
The agreement will see Scout provide its “sports betting-like” platform that allows players to wager without the use of real money.
Andreas Ternström, chief executive officer at Scout Gaming, said: “We are thrilled to have partnered with Skylands and to be offering our products to the Jackals and the Miners. Social sports betting and daily fantasy presents a huge opportunity for minor leagues to monetize at scale.
“Our products have been designed to deliver a fun and thrilling player experience that also takes engagement with the sport and the team to the next level. The Jackals and the Miners will be able to leverage this to unlock new and exciting revenue opportunities.”
Skylands Events will primarily utilize Scout’s platform in the Frontier Baseball League. The sports group hopes the agreement will allow fans to experience the entertainment of sports betting in a low-risk environment.
Al Dorso at Skylands Events and University Sports & Entertainment added: “We understand the huge potential sports betting offers minor league teams when it comes to accessing new revenue streams and this deal with Scout Gaming will allow the Jackals and the Miners to do just that.
“Scout Gaming’s Social Sportsbook is an incredible product and offers a truly engaging wagering experience without the need for customers to bet with real money. I am positive that fans of the Jackals and Miners will find it adds another level of excitement to watching the game.”
As reported by Gaming America Scout Gaming has recently signed a similar deal with the Las-Vegas based company eFanGage to provide its free-to-play fantasy sports platform.
This news comes after Scout Gaming agreed to debut in the US via a partnership with the Master Cup Series. Per the five-year agreement, the Master Cup Series will utilize Scout Gaming’s newly developed US focused Social Sportsbook platform.
“We are thrilled to be officially entering the US market for the first time and to also unveil another addition to the Scout product line that will be launching with the Masters Cup Series,” Ternström said.
“We’ve noticed a gap in the market that we can fill and we’re hoping to unveil similar partnerships in the months and quarters to come.”
