The leading pan-European entertainment and tech company, Superbet Group, announced it joined forces with the leading gamification innovator, Low6. Details regarding the recent tie-up emerged Thursday and see the duo join forces for a new free-to-play fantasy game that focuses on the Premier League and Champions League.
The new game, titled Ultimate Squad, is presented as a spin-off of the popular UltimateFan franchise. Players of Ultimate Squad will be given “pack drops” that include soccer players as well as teams’ cards. With those cards, the users need to create a lineup for different contests.
Elevating the experience for the users, real-life performances will contribute toward the points players can earn and the progress will be tracked via a global leaderboard. On the other hand, players that want to engage in friendly play with colleagues, friends or family, can also compete in special Invitational Private Leagues.
Jamie Mitchell, Low6’s CEO, explained that the company anticipates huge success for the new game, given the strong performance of UltimateFan. He predicted that Ultimate Squad would resonate well with Superbet customers and boost player engagement and retention. Finally, Mitchell said: “Superbet is an operator who has successfully scaled across Central and Eastern Europe, and we look forward to working with them long-term for their player acquisition and retention strategy.”
“Given the success of UltimateFan, we’re confident that our leading fantasy sports product will acquire new Superbet users on mass and increase engagement amongst players.“
