February 25 2022 - 07:00AM
OOOOO Entertainment Commerce Limited is pleased to announce that
its subsidiary Fanz.com has issued a news release announcing that
it has signed a contract with 20SHOTS for the launch of Fanz
Fantasy5 in March 2022. The full text of the news release follows:
Fanz has signed a partnership contract with UK
company 20SHOTS and will launch a free to play fantasy football
game called Fanz Fantasy5 in March 2022 for the Premier League on
Fanz.com, where players can win NFTs and signed merch.
Fanz.com is a gateway for NFTs, gaming, commerce
and governance for world football, founded by Sam Jones and Teddy
Sagi.
Fanz Fantasy5 will be a free to play game on the
browser, where a user selects 5 players from 5 matches across the
Premier League. Based on the real-life performance of the players
in each round of games in the league, a scoreboard will show the
winning scores after each round of games. Top scores will receive
NFTs or signed merch from elite players.
The partnership comes as Fantasy5's growth
continues, surpassing 100,000 active users to become the fastest
growing free-to-play football jackpot game in the industry.
Fantasy5's growth this season has also been
driven by 74% week on week retention rates, with active users
logging in 3 times a week and spending in excess of 3 minutes on
site per session when playing.
As part of the partnership, Fanz will be
utilising Fantasy5 as an acquisition, engagement and retention tool
to help unite and grow the Fanz community.
Sam Jones, founder of OOOOO and Fanz said, "Mass
adoption of Web 3.0 including NFTs has not happened yet. We believe
a simple fantasy football game based on Premier League games is a
great way for people to have fun and have a chance to win an NFT or
signed merch. Winning an NFT will force people to open a crypto
wallet and begin to learn about this new world. We chose this game
as it is simple and data driven. We will be adding more football
themed games to the Fanz ecosystem soon."
Jacob Kalms CEO and Co-Founder of 20SHOTS said,
"Our retention statistics show that free-to-play product represents
the next player recruitment and retention battleground and by being
able to offer Fantasy5 directly to their customers, Fanz' offering
to a valuable football audience is increased."
"This major partnership represents the next
stage of our strategic growth which will continue to see Fantasy5
offered to football fans globally to help better acquire, engage,
retain and monetise our partners community,” continued Mr.
Kalms.
