8 October 2018, Las Vegas, USA – Scout Gaming and Metric Gaming have entered into a partner agreement for a co-offering primarily targeted at the regulated US market.

The agreement provides both companies with reciprocal access to each other’s products and allows them to establish a leading global offering consisting of sports betting, fantasy sports and pool betting.

Scout Gaming and Metric Gaming have experienced an increased demand for their respective products in the US after the US Supreme Court’s ruling to suspend a federal ban on sports betting in New Jersey earlier this year, the so-called PASPA (Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992). Since fantasy sports has a long-standing heritage in the US market, it is expected to remain an important part of the gaming market going forward.

“We are experiencing interest from operators ready to launch a sportsbook offering in the United States as well as parties that have already launched,” said Scout Gaming CEO Andreas Ternström.
