Scout Gaming signs agreement with Digitain
Scout Gaming has entered into an agreement with platform provider Digitain. The agreement stipulates the distribution of Scout Gaming‘s game products. Digitain is a privately held company providing Omni-channel iGaming software solutions to the online, mobile and land-based verticals. Digitain has over 1,000 employees, 55+ partners worldwide, and more than 400 land-based bet shops worldwide.
“Digitain is among one of the larger platform providers and will make a great potential contribution to our network. This clearly states that Scout Gaming is the first-hand choice when it comes to Fantasy related products, comments Scout Gaming’s CEO, Andreas Ternström.
“We are continuously looking to improve our product offering and have found that Scout Gaming has a proven capability of providing Fantasy Sports games with a global network and therefore is experienced partner to launch and expand Digitain’s Fantasy Sports offering. Scout Gaming’s Fantasy Sports solution will be provided along with our in-house developed and managed sportsbook solution”, comments Digitain’s CCO, Suren Khachatryan.
Scout Gaming’s products are expected to be integrated no later than the third quarter this year. Due to the uncertain timetable of the up-taking of our products with Digitain’s operators, Scout Gaming is unable to guide on what impact the deal will have on its 2019 revenues. Scout Gaming’s revenue is on a long-term basis dependent on the end user’s activity on Scout Gamings products.
