i3 plans for rebrand of recently acquired Livepools
i3 Interactive Inc. – is pleased to share exciting news, further executing on its strategy in building the premier online gaming destination for Indian consumers. It will be rebranding its recently acquired fantasy gaming company, Livepools, to BLITZPOOLS.
Livepools has already amassed a loyal customer base of over 1.5MM players and i3 recognizes the strong connection to the product the team at Livepools spent years building. As a result, i3 has already increased investment in product development to bring new and exciting features to our players.
With i3’s acquisition and successful entry into the Indian gaming market in August of 2020 with BLITZPOKER, the natural next step is extending the BLITZ brand across the fantasy sports product it acquired in Livepools.
i3 and the BLITZ brand in India will continue to prioritize the customer and in turn will offer industry leading bonuses for all existing players as they move through the migration from Livepools to BLITZPOOLS. All new players are welcome and BLITZPOOLS will offer best in class bonuses, world class product innovation and customer support.
This rebrand is scheduled to take place March 1. i3 plans to announce more information on this launch in the coming days.
With this rebrand and continued push in the skill based online gaming category in India, i3 is on pace to deliver on its ambition to have 10MM customers playing its products before the end of 2022.

The EFL, in partnership with Genius Sports, has officially launched “Fantasy EFL,” the League’s first-ever 72-club fantasy football game to involve all Member Clubs across the three Sky Bet EFL divisions.
First teased at the 2023/24 Sky Bet EFL Play-Off Finals, Fantasy EFL will be an innovative platform to unify fans of EFL Clubs, fantasy football players, plus the wider football community to play and engage with almost 2000 EFL first-team players, more than 1600 Sky Bet EFL fixtures and all 72 Clubs during the twists and turns of a season.
Available on web, and as a brand-new app for iOS and Android users, Fantasy EFL is free to play and allows participants to become Managers every gameweek of the Sky Bet EFL.
EFL Chief Executive Trevor Birch said: “We’re very excited to bring the EFL’s first fantasy football game to life as a central product that engages not only with supporters of all 72 EFL Clubs, but also the wider football audience. We’ve interrogated research into what fans would want out of an EFL fantasy football game and been strategic on providing a product that isn’t just a copy of what is already in the market.
“Fantasy EFL is a premium product that enhances the EFL brand and opens further opportunities with our broadcasters and commercial partners. Alongside Genius Sports, Fantasy EFL appeals to both the avid and casual fan and will expand the rising interest in the Sky Bet EFL, our Clubs and their players beyond fans who attend matches and those who watch along at home.”
Genius Sports Chief Partnerships Officer, Steven Burton, said: “Fantasy EFL is unique, interactive, and fun and Genius Sports is delighted to deliver this exciting new game for the EFL and its Member Clubs.
“This new game will test fans’ knowledge of both teams and individual players while providing them with a platform to compete with their friends and family every week.”
