Free-to-play and pool betting provider Plucky has partnered with News UK to power its Score predictor and Last Man Standing games.
The partnership with The Sun Dream Team will see Plucky power both games using its proprietary paid leagues technology, enabling Dream Team players to compete for cash prizes in public leagues or private groups.
Sebastian Lewis, CEO & co-founder of Plucky and 2025 Gaming Intelligence Hot 50 honouree, said: “The Sun is one of the most recognisable brands in the UK, and we’re delighted to partner with News UK to give its legions of Dream Team players access to more winning opportunities while also giving them the chance to compete for more than just bragging rights in private pools amongst friends and colleagues.
“Equipping Dream Team’s Score Predictor and Last Man Standing games with private Paid League functionality brings an additional layer of tension to each gameweek for its players, and we’re optimistic for a successful partnership for this season and beyond after encouraging take-up at launch.”
Tim Reynolds, director of betting and gaming at The Sun, added: “We endeavour to give Dream Team players the best gaming experiences, and this integration with Plucky empowers those players to responsibly play in more ways with more skin in the game.
“Whether its score prediction or going all-in on one team each week, adding Paid Leagues to our Dream Team proposition will give those who want it new opportunities to take on other players within their social circles for cash prizes, alongside the chance to win from our usual high-stakes prizes in the overall leagues.”
