Plucky, a leading platform for monetizing free-to-play games and modernizing pool betting, has formed a partnership with Superbru, a global fantasy and predictor game platform. This collaboration introduces a new feature that allows Superbru players to participate in public and private cash leagues, enhancing their gaming experience.
The partnership kicks off with the Six Nations, which begins on January 31st. Players will initially have the option to join public cash leagues, with plans to expand the functionality to private leagues in the future.
Superbru’s Six Nations game involves predicting the correct score for each of the 15 games across five matchdays. Points are awarded for accurate results, being within a specified margin of the final score, selecting all correct results, and making the most precise picks compared to others in the league.
With its easy-to-understand gameplay and strong social interaction features, the Six Nations provides an ideal platform for launching Plucky’s cash leagues on Superbru. Players will now have the opportunity to win real cash prizes in addition to the usual bragging rights, with seamless registration and deposit management available through the Plucky app.
The feature will first be available to Superbru players in the UK and Ireland, with plans to introduce cash leagues to other tournaments such as the NRL and AFL after the Six Nations. Additionally, Plucky aims to expand its cash league offering into regulated jurisdictions where it seeks licensing as an operator.
Sebastian Lewis, CEO & co-founder at Plucky, said: “For UK and Ireland rugby fans, there’s no doubt that the Six Nations is the pinnacle of the annual rugby calendar, with group chats lighting up with predictions from experts and armchair supporters alike. We’re now offering these communities on Superbru the chance to put their money where their mouth is and take on their mates or the general public for real cash prizes.
“Superbru has become a major success story, with two and a half million players returning time and again to make their picks on various sports and tournaments, and we can’t wait to see how its users react to our cash league offering for the Six Nations and many more tournaments beyond.”
James Hutchison, Commercial Director at Superbru, added: “Superbru players are some of the most committed around, and with Plucky’s cash league integration, we’re delighted to give them a chance to raise the stakes and enjoy the additional tension that makes their Six Nations’ experiences even more exciting. We know that some players run informal cash leagues on Superbru already, and this facility gives them the opportunity to do it in a trusted, safe and regulated manner.
“One of the key factors in our organic growth has been the simplicity of our game proposition. Plucky shares our vision for a gaming environment that puts the picks first, while giving our players the opportunity to take manual sweepstakes into the digital age. There is a quick registration process that allows them to get on with their predictions, mitigates the painful errand of chasing the losers in the pool for your winnings or the risk of the league captain not paying out prizes.”
