Oulala’s CEO and Managing Director earn nomination for GamblingCompliance Global Regulatory award

London – 21st February 2018 – Valery Bollier and Benjamin Carlotti, co-founders of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) operator and B2B provider Oulala, have been nominated for the ”Compliance Outstanding Achievement Award” for initiating the process of adequate regulation of the DFS sector in Malta.

The year 2017 was a milestone for the development of fantasy sports in Europe as the long-awaited licensing framework that regulates skill-based games, fantasy sports included, came into force. This was the culmination of a process that actually began five years ago.

”We feel honoured to be among the candidates for a prestigious award which recognises our efforts to have the proper regulation of DFS,” commented Carlotti, the firm’s Managing Director. ”When our game was launched in 2013, there was no skill-game regulation in place in European countries. By default, the game was considered a sports betting activity. It was therefore essential that we aimed for a legal frame from the gaming authorities that was tailored to our specific function. We discussed our sector’s needs with European legislators and, as expected, Malta was the first country to welcome our suggestions.”
