The Sun Dream Team Integrates Plucky’s Paid League Tech

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.”
