Plucky, the leading platform for monetising free-to-play games and skill-based wagering, has partnered with News UK brand The Sun to power its Dream Team ‘Score Predictor’ and ‘Last Man Standing’ games with its proprietary Paid Leagues technology.

Already live for the English Premier League run-in, Dream Team players across both games will now be able to compete for cash prizes in public leagues, while Score Predictor players will also be able to battle it out in private groups.

Plucky, acting as the licensed pool betting partner for the Dream Team platform, is proven in its ability to boost engagement and reactivation, while also delivering brand new revenue streams for free-to-play fantasy and predictor games.

Within Score Predictor, Dream Team ‘chairman’ will be able to set up Paid Leagues amongst social groups, with stakes of between £5 and £50, as ‘winner takes all’ or with staggered prizes across the top three players, with winnings credited immediately on game conclusion.

Various public leagues with elevated prize pools, dependent on the number of players signed-up, will also be made available via the Dream Team website and app for players to access across both games, should they choose to opt-in.

Sebastian Lewis, CEO & co-founder at Plucky, said: “The Sun is one of the most recognisable brands in the UK, and we’re delighted to partner with News UK to give its legions of Dream Team players access to more winning opportunities, while also giving them the chance to compete for more than just bragging rights in private pools amongst friends and colleagues.

“Equipping Dream Team’s Score Predictor and Last Man Standing games with private Paid League functionality brings an additional layer of tension to each gameweek for its players, and we’re optimistic for a successful partnership for this season and beyond after encouraging take-up at launch.”

Tim Reynolds, Director of Betting & Gaming at The Sun, added: “We endeavour to give Dream Team players the best gaming experiences, and this integration with Plucky empowers those players to responsibly play in more ways with more skin in the game.

“Whether its score prediction or going all-in on one team each week, adding Paid Leagues to our Dream Team proposition will give those who want it new opportunities to take on other players within their social circles for cash prizes, alongside the chance to win from our usual high-stakes prizes in the overall leagues.”

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
