NEW Product launch - Fantasy Superbikes makes the start of the 2009 motor season a particularly exciting one for us.

Not forgetting the current launches of Fantasy F1 and MotoGP there is no doubt that there is mass appeal to be tapped into from both sides of the track.

NEW Product launch – Tipping

Tipping, a great ‘prediction game,’ simply win points based on a successful prediction – win, loose or draw.

It works alongside any sporting campaign and CHEAPER than all of other fantasy products. The easy concept makes it a friendly usability inter-face to engage a wide variety of audiences.
