TotelFootball and Betfred’s fantasy football game, which allows customers to make pool bets, is now live.
The game mimics most aspects of traditional fantasy football games, but with key twists. Competitions only span the course of a weekend and as a pool betting product, customers are able to set variable stakes.
Customers can enter teams from a variety of top leagues including the English Premier League, the Champions League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga. The success of each customer’s team depends on the real-life performance of their selected players. The better the players perform, the more points each team earns with the top 10 per cent of teams after the weekend’s fixtures sharing the prize pool.
There is also the option of six-a-side competitions on live televised fixtures, where the turnaround is quicker, played out over one or more live games.
Eddie Bennett, head of Totepool.com, commented: “We are excited to expand our range of pool betting products into football. Given the popularity of fantasy football we view TotelFootball’s fantasy football solution as a logical fit for our ever expanding 'Fantasy Pools' proposition.”
