StarPick disrupts Fantasy Gaming in India with the innovative, easy to play and first of its kind ‘Fantasy Matchup’Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Skill and knowledge based format
Select between 4-10 head-to-head duels to increase winnings

 

StarPick, India’s leading fantasy sports platform introduced the innovative and easy to play Fantasy Matchup, the first of its kind head-to-head duel between 2 players in India. With this, StarPick also becomes Scout Gaming Group’s first operator globally to introduce this new, innovative and proprietary game.

StarPick’s Fantasy Matchup format is extremely exciting, very easy to understand and play where just the users’ skills helps them win instead of competing against thousands of others. There are pre-set duels between players of a team for the particular day. In order to participate in the Fantasy Matchup, a user needs to select a minimum of 4 duels and up to a maximum of 10 duels.

Trigam Mukherjee, Co-founder and CEO of StarPick India said, “At StarPick, it is our constant endeavour to disrupt and redefine fantasy gaming in India as well as keeping the users engaged using superior technology and innovation. Fantasy Matchup is one such radical and innovative game we have introduced on our platform. Globally this concept is very new and it is now available to our users in India through StarPick. In fact, we are Scout Gaming Group’s first client to launch Fantasy Matchup. We believe our users will love this new format and test their skills and knowledge to get rewarded financially. My message to the users is ‘keep skilling it’.”

“StarPick is leading the innovation in the Indian Fantasy Sports market and we are of course delighted that they are the first operator to launch the Scout Gaming Group match-up game, based on our in-house-proprietary expected fantasy points. We are also planning to launch new innovative fantasy related games during the coming year,” comments Scout Gaming Group’s CEO, Andreas Ternstrom.

In StarPick’s Fantasy Matchup, the fantasy points accumulated in the duel will be based on the player’s actual performance in the real game. The player with the higher score at the end of the game wins the duel. In order to win the Fantasy Matchup, all the duels selected by the user should be correct.

Some other innovative and easy to play formats introduced by StarPick that are highly appreciated by users are:

  • Flexi Five – Pick any 5 players.
  • Cricket Heroes – Quick and easy format where a user has to pick 3 players (one Batsman, one Bowler and one All-Rounder).
  • H2H – Create your own challenge and go head to head with a friend or any user on StarPick.
  • Season Game – A multiple gameweek tournament can also be a “season game”, where the tournament endures over a whole season.

Datawrkz, a Nazara subsidiary, acquires majority stake in UK growth marketing agency, Space & Time

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Transaction set to fast-track Datawrkz’s ambitious growth plans

Datawrkz, a subsidiary of Nazara Technologies Limited (BSE: 543280) (NSE: NAZARA) has acquired a 100% stake in Space & Time, an independent growth marketing agency with offices across the UK for approximately GBP 4.8 million (~INR 52.3 crores) in cash and stock.

This acquisition is a key move in advancing Datawrkz’s growth ambitions across Europe and North America, positioning it as a scaled player in the global digital advertising market.

The collaboration brings together Space & Time’s expertise in growth marketing, media, and technology with Datawrkz’s strengths in programmatic advertising technology and optimization. This partnership will enable both companies to deliver more impactful digital advertising solutions and drive further expansion, especially in the European and UK markets. Additionally, Space & Time will gain access to Datawrkz’s cutting-edge technology and products, enhancing their ability to deliver effective campaigns and capitalize on growth opportunities in Europe and North America.

Datawrkz was founded in 2013 on the premise that digital advertising can be done better in every way. 

Senthil Govindan, CEO and founder of Datawrkz, will join the Space & Time board. He noted, “We are embarking on an inorganic strategy to complement our strong independent growth, and Space & Time is an ideal partner. The cultural alignment and shared focus on delivering value for clients make this acquisition a perfect fit. We anticipate this collaboration will significantly boost growth for both companies, with Space & Time driving our expansion in Europe.”

Launched in 2000, Space & Time has achieved strong revenue growth over the last three years and is one of a select few Google Premier Partners in the UK. Earlier this year, Space & Time chief executive officer, Chris Jones, was named in the ‘CEO and Leaders’ category of the BIMA 100, a listing of the top 100 movers and shakers in the UK’s digital and technology industry.

Chris Jones adds: “The company was founded with very clear principles focussed around client success. I’m incredibly proud to say these are more intrinsic and fundamental to our values than ever. The challenge was to find an investor that shares this passion for client-centricity and that’s exactly what we’ve found in Datawrkz. As two fast-growing and specialist businesses, the potential between us made this the perfect match and the investment in key areas such as data and technology that this deal brings will help future-proof our clients’ business as we continue to grow.

The deal represents an exciting new chapter in the Space & Time story as we partner with Datawrkz to bring new opportunities to clients. We’re excited for all that lies ahead.”

Affiliates react to Autumn budget announcement

Richard Moffat, CEO, OLBG “We were initially worried about the rise in remote gaming duty rumours, as operators would likely have swallowed these costs by rolling out worse products, worse pricing and fewer offers for gambling consumers. When this happens, punters consider switching to the black market, where friction is lower because player protection is non-existent and taxes are not always being paid.

“The new Labour government has avoided this scenario by keeping tax rates consistent, which will come as a relief to many businesses in the sector that were preparing for the worst, and is ultimately great news for the consumer. The British horse racing industry will also breathe a sigh of relief as any increase in taxes may well have hit their income at a time when many stakeholders are in need of revenue growth.

“Trust in the former Conservative government was damaged by the election betting scandal, and Labour still have their work cut out, according to our latest survey with YouGov.

“Respondents didn’t differentiate vastly between the parties, with more than one-quarter (27%) suggesting that Labour will do no better at regulating gambling than the Conservatives. Only time will tell, but the budget has shown that gambling is some way down Labour’s new list of priorities.”

Jamie Walters, CEO and co-founder, QiH Group “The speculation proved to be just that, as an anticipated rise in remote gaming duty never materialised. While the industry clearly avoided a worst-case scenario, that does not necessarily mean this was a good budget for business.

“The rise in employer National Insurance contributions will be difficult for many small to medium-size businesses, but is at least in keeping with Labour’s pledge to protect the general working public from tax hikes.”

Neil Roarty, head analyst, ClickOut Media “Two weeks ago, when speculative proposals on taxation of the industry were announced, they had a huge deleterious impact on the market, with a total of £3.5bn in stock value lost by the industry’s biggest giants.

“These proposals never arrived, and may not even have been considered by Labour, which has pushed a gaming duty review back to next year. Gambling stocks have already bounced back as something of a correction, with Entain up 8% for example.

“This will come as a welcome surprise for the industry, and also for consumers, who would have been forced to shoulder the cost on behalf of bookmakers. The tobacco and vaping industry was in the ‘vice’ sector crosshairs instead on this occasion.”
