Inspired Entertainment has announced the awarding of a worldwide exclusive contract to provide both its scheduled and on-demand virtual sports online to BetStars, the international online sports betting brand of The Stars Group, one of the world’s largest online gaming operators.
The company will initially be launching with its popular Rush Football 2 on BetStars.com, which offers a wide range of popular and specialist betting options, promotions and exclusive products across dozens of sports and specialty offerings. Rush Football 2 is, said Inspired, a ‘remarkably realistic virtual soccer experience’, created using advanced motion capture techniques and has become a world leading virtual football soccer product. The game will be available online and on mobile and tablet.
“I’m delighted to announce this exclusive deal with BetStars,” said Steve Rogers, chief commercial officer – virtual sports at Inspired. “The Stars Group is a powerhouse in the online and mobile betting industry.
