VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 22, 2016) - Fantasy 6 Sports Inc. ("Fantasy 6" or the "Company") (CSE:FYS)(OTC PINK:FNTYF)(FRANKFURT:6F6)(WKN:A2AKL8) announced today that it is acquiring FansUnite ("FansUnite.com"), a leader in social sports data that is unique in its approach, scope and reach, in a $2,000,000 transaction, pending requisite regulatory approvals.

"We're absolutely delighted to welcome the FansUnite.com team to the Fantasy 6 family, including the more than 100,000 loyal members who play their innovative games, contests and analytics in over 16 major sports," said Shafin Diamond Tejani, Chief Executive Officer of Fantasy 6. "This is a natural fit for Fantasy 6 as part of our global fan engagement strategy."

Created by sports fans for sports fans, FansUnite.com has built its thriving reputation in the space as a community of sports fans working together to "beat the house". It serves as a complementary platform to the world's largest sportsbooks such as Pinnacle Sports, bet365 and William Hill, along with fantasy sports platforms such as DraftKings and FanDuel.

"Working in a sports space in which more than $1 trillion dollars will be wagered this year, FansUnite.com provides the tools and resources for players to make them more profitable against the major sportsbooks," added Tejani.

Upon completion of the $2,000,000 transaction later this month, FansUnite.com will continue to operate as a front line division of Fantasy 6, bringing their highly-regarded and innovative development team under the Company's umbrella.

"The leadership demonstrated by their management team over the past two years will help make this a seamless transition and will allow the FansUnite.com community to grow even more going into the upcoming fall and winter sports seasons, including the 2016 NFL campaign," said Ray Walia, Chief Operating Officer of Fantasy 6.

The three founders of FansUnite.com - Chief Executive Officer Darius Eghdami, Duncan McIntyre and Nicolas Shuster - will retain their operating responsibilities and take on senior roles within the Fantasy 6 sports entertainment and technology group.

"We're excited and ready to continue the rapid growth we've enjoyed on the strength of our unique fan-based approach to sports data," said Eghdami. "We see this as the next logical step in our growth and development, especially given the opportunity to leverage the core competencies of Fantasy 6 to acquire new members, create more opportunities for existing members and significantly grow our revenues. We know we'll be exposed to a whole new world of opportunities and that our social community will only thrive as part of Fantasy 6."
