Betting licence granted for Fanaments in the UK

The multi sports fantasy provider in Europe, offers users numerous footballing competitions  as well as MMA, PGA golf and NBA basketball.

UK..- Fanaments, the Icelandic based fantasy sports firm,  has informed that it has been granted a UK betting licence.

Since its launch in August 2015, the firm has  paid out over €300,000 (US324,675) and, as reported,  enjoyed a monthly growth of at least 100 percent.  Fanaments was founded by the trio of CEO Bragi Ægisson, CPO Arnor Davidsson and CTO Gudmundur Sveinsson and they moved to secure a Maltese betting licence.

Users of the daily fantasy sports platform are able to choose a different team each game day. Moreover,  they can access live statistics, plus engage with other players.

Bragi Ægisson, CEO of the company explained: “It is very exciting that we are the only multi-sport fantasy service on the continent. It was clear to us that there was an over reliance on football and so our objective is to satisfy the craving for additional sports. Our launch co-insides very nicely with prominent sporting fixtures this week. London will be treated to NBA’s Magic v Raptors game as well as the mammoth Premier League tie between Liverpool and Manchester United on Sunday.”

Ægisson also considered: “Fanaments are expecting a strong reception, to what is a high-profile week within the sporting calendar, as we aim to inject further excitement into a variety of sports events.”
