For those fantasy football fans out there, the fantasy has become a reality. The world's best sports betting platform and the legends at Scout Gaming have at last joined forces.

After only a couple of days of launching, the game has already attracted 20,000+ managers to sign up. SGG and bet365 are equally pleased with this early uptake and expect many more thousands to join.

A Match Made in Heaven

Fantasy football plays a key role for match days around the world, and now players can enjoy unique features in this new game. bet365 and Scout Gaming have enhanced the overall player experience and hope to increase the fun factor by increasing engagement.

A spokesperson for bet365 commented:

“The partnership with SGG has provided bet365 with an excellent, multi-country fantasy product, and we’re delighted to deliver a season-long fantasy football game to our customers. We’re excited to see how the season develops and which managers can land the monthly and outright cash prizes.”

Whilst the Chief Commercial Officer, Araz Heydariyehzadeh, at Scout Gaming Group said:

“We’re incredibly proud to have collaborated with bet365 on a game of this magnitude and quality. The support from numerous teams at bet365 has been outstanding throughout and continues to grow.”

Your Chance To Win a Share of £500K

The game is completely free to play and is live now. There’s still enough time to get those selections in via the bet365 site in your country. And you can even make and amend your choices right up until the first match of the Premier League.

The prize pool is an eye-watering £500,000 for those leading managers still sitting pretty at the end of the season. There’s a massive share for the outright winner, who looks set to score £50K. Whilst the rest of the prize pool will be shared between the top 10,000 ranking users.
