It is founded by a successful management team with years of sector experience, dedicated to putting the passion and loyalty of the ‘fan’ at the centre of the experience, to support their chosen club. We are therefore delighted that Finnplay is continuing to power the brand’s turnkey sports betting technology stack.”

Their solution allows our business to offer an array of gaming products that today’s football and sports fans demand. As part of our continued network expansion strategy, we will continue to develop specific betting propositions for different fanbases, and likewise, the fans can be assured of total transparency, with profits dispersed to supporter-driven causes.”
