Malta/Macau – 12th May 2017 – Following the trend of the international expansion of Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) outside of its birthplace, the USA, many believe that this is the next sensation in online gaming. Since Asian markets are poised to pick up DFS in the near future, DFS is expected to be one of the main topics at this year’s Global Gaming Expo Asia (G2E Asia) in Macau (May 16 – 18).

DFS games enable players to create fantasy teams made up of professional athletes, join or create leagues/contests, and earn points based on the actual statistical performance of the professional athletes in real-world competitions. Players pay an entry fee in order to participate, which funds monetary prizes and creates revenue for DFS providers.

The number of DFS players is expected to grow exponentially over the next few years, with around 50 percent of them forecast to come from the millennials’ market by 2020. How will the gaming and sports sector adapt its offerings and how are regulations in Asia evolving to take this product into account? This is one of the questions that will be discussed by Valery Bollier, CEO at Oulala, in a panel entitled ”Growth of fantasy sports and its impact on other industries”. The session, which will be part of the iGaming Summit, is scheduled to take place on Thursday, May 18th at 9:10am (UTC+8) at the Venetian Macau.

”G2E Asia is a key event, especially for European companies because it is the door to Asia, a growing market offering numerous stimulating perspectives for the future,” said Bollier prior to the conference. ”In Oulala’s case, it is even more important. We are the first company to successfully adapt Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS), an American concept, to meet the international demand.”
