Plucky Delivers Superbru Players With Cash League Functionality
Plucky, the leading platform for monetising free-to-play games and modernising pool betting, has partnered with Superbru, the world-leading fantasy and predictor game platform to enable its players choose to play for real cash in private and public leagues.
The partnership kicked off in time for this year’s Six Nations, starting on 31st January. Users will be able to opt-in to public cash leagues initially, before the facility is expanded to offer private cash leagues.
Superbru’s Six Nations game requires players to pick the correct score for each of the 15 games over five matchdays. Points are awarded for predicting the correct result, being within a given margin of the final score, selecting all results correctly, and landing the most accurate picks in relation to others in the league.
With an easily-understood gameplay and always-prominent social interaction within rugby communities, the Six Nations is set to be the ideal platform to launch Plucky’s cash leagues on Superbru, giving fans the chance to earn more than just bragging rights and take their friends and colleagues on for real cash prizes, with registration and deposits all managed seamlessly via the Plucky app.
Going live first with Superbru’s UK and Ireland players, plans are in place following the Six Nations to introduce cash leagues to other tournaments, including NRL and AFL, and in regulated jurisdictions where Plucky aims to be licensed to offer its cash league service 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.”
Plucky, winner of the Innovator of the Year award at the 2024 EGR Operator Awards, is registered under a UKGC operator licence, and will manage all KYC requirements, deposits, payouts, and cash league game mechanics on behalf of Superbru players once they opt in for cash pools.

TEAM VITALITY PRESENTS ITS NEW ROSTER VALORANT THROUGH THE LEGACY CAMPAIGN
- After achieving an exceptional end to the 2023-2024 season, Team Vitality returns with strong European and International ambitions.
- Since the start of the season, two superstars have joined the ranks of the Team Vitality roster: Derke and Less, alongside Sayf (IGL), Kicks and Trexx. The club’s new ambassador: Ardiis, will cast their matches all year round. With this team, the goal is simple but audacious: lay the foundations for a new legacy, make history on this new stage and qualify for the VALORANT Champions.
- Thus, Team Vitality is preparing to write a brand new FPS game story supported by the LEGACY campaign. And its first Ice & Fire chapter begins today!
Team Vitality proudly presents its VALORANT roster for the 2025 season. After securing a second European place and qualification for the VALORANT Champions 2024 at the end of last season, the team will endeavour to maintain its high standards and continue to shine on the European (VCT) and international scene. The first key meeting for this team is at the VALORANT Bangkok Masters 2025 on February 27th.
With a combination of youth, talent and experience, Team Vitality is proud to welcome two new international talents to the roster, with an already established track record in the game: Finnish-Russian Derke, the Brazilian powerhouse Less, and a new coaching staff.
A FIVE STAR ROSTER TO CONQUER THE WORLD
Team Vitality returns more determined than ever to the VALORANT scene. With two new players joining Kicks, trexx and Sayf (IGL and Team Captain), hoping to win a VCT title. In addition to this brand new roster, Team Vitality also integrates a new experienced coaching staff with the arrival of Faded.
New players and coaching staff
- Nikita “Derke” Sirmation (Finnish-Russian) – 21 years old: Former Counter-Strike player who switched to VALORANT. Considered one of the top three duelists of all time, Derke is known for his exceptional skills and decisive impact during matches and dominated the VCT:2023 LOCK//IN and the VCT Masters Tokyo in the same year – a feat never achieved before. With his international experience, Derke is ready to bring his strategic vision and talent to the team.
- Felipe “Less” Basso (Brazilian) – 19 years old: A true VALORANT prodigy, Less quickly gained attention with his excellent mechanics and superhuman reflexes. At the age of 17, he won the VALORANT Champions in 2022 and the VCT Americas League in 2023 and is considered one of the best players in his role as Sentinel.
- Daniel “Faded” Hwang (American) – 30 years as Head Coach: Faded has already coached within the TSM organisation and qualified for Ascension Finals in Mexico – all in his first year as a head coach! He has proven himself capable of developing talent and achieving exceptional results.
The new 2025 roster now stands as:
- Kimmie “Kicks” Lassner
- Saif “Sayf” Jibraeel (IGL)
- Nikita “trexx” Cherednichenko
- Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev
- Felipe “Less” Basso
For this new season, the talented Sayf has taken on the key role of IGL within the team. Elected duelist of the 2024 season in VCT, Sayf will have the important task of leading his team to victory.
With the arrival of two additional superstars to the team, Team Vitality sends a strong message: VALORANT is a priority for the club. While the VALORANT Champions will take place in Paris, the club’s homeland, Team Vitality hopes to make an impression at home.
“VALORANT is a vital scene for us. We were keen to strengthen the existing team with even more experienced profiles as we seek performance and aim for excellence. And this season is special: we hope to be able to defend our chances of victory at home, in Paris.” explains Fabien “Neo” Devide, President and co-founder of Team Vitality.
LEGACY CAMPAIGN: AN ICE & FIRE ROSTER [CHAPTER 1]
Team Vitality is embarking on this new season with a clear and unwavering ambition: to write a new legacy on a key FPS game and shine at the VALORANT Paris Champions. To support this, Team Vitality is launching LEGACY, a campaign that will follow the team in three key chapters until the Champions next September.

The first chapter of this campaign begins at the Bangkok Masters on February 27th and will notably feature the two new stars of the team. The campaign will play on the elements of the roster: Derke, a Finnish player, known for his exemplary composure, embodies serenity and concentration. Less, a Brazilian player, with an explosive style of play, flamboyant actions and an energy capable of igniting his teammates. Together, they symbolise a complementarity of qualities essential for the roster’s goal of reaching the top.

Team Vitality is proud to announce that its official VCT bundle is now available for purchase via the in-game shop. These exclusive bundles embody the club’s unique identity and allow fans to proudly wear Hive’s colours, while supporting the team in its quest for glory on the VALORANT scene.
Each piece has been carefully designed to reflect Team Vitality’s competitive spirit and boundless ambition.
