The wagering system of the sportsbook has demonstrated the ability to meet all local requirements including remote server installation of FansUnite’s betting engine and player database, geofencing, player KYC and the successful integration of Sightline payments.

Askott Games Integration with The Ear Platform

Askott Games, a wholly-owned subsidiary of FansUnite has completed testing on its first four RNG games and delivered them to The Ear for integration. The Company is in The Ear development queue and will announce when the integration is complete and the first games go live. Now that 4 games have been completed, FansUnite is actively working on additional aggregator partnerships and is in development of their 5th RNG game.

“The first quarter of 2021 represents a key inflection point for us as we continue to hit new milestones,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite. “We are delighted to announce McBookie’s strong performance as well as the rapid expansion of our B2B operations in the North American and European market.
