2024年7月22日 - 9:30PM
RSports Interactive, Inc.
(“RSports” or the “Company”)
, a pioneering
industry leader in the delivery of free and cash-based interactive
games for sports fans, today announced the acquisition of
GameBlazers, a digital technology innovator that
has developed a groundbreaking platform that combines fantasy
sports, gaming and collectibles into a single cohesive fan
experience through gamification.
Gameblazers represents the next evolution in
fantasy sports gaming, providing players with more ownership,
control and decision-making capabilities over their fantasy teams.
Unlike current fantasy sports products, or similar alternatives,
GameBlazers gamifies fantasy sport where players can earn rewards
and items by opening packs, leveling up, or buying and selling on
GameBlazers’ proprietary peer-to-peer marketplace; and by building
their rosters to compete in weekly or season-long contests, where
they can win cash and prizes.
Rourke Struthers, Co-Founder and CEO of
GameBlazers, stated, “The acquisition of GameBlazers by RSports
validates the hard work and dedication of our team and the vision
behind our novel gaming and collectible trading platform. Moreover,
because RSports shares our same core values and fanatical focus on
significantly leveling up engagement and experience for fantasy
sport fans, we couldn’t be more thrilled about what the future
holds for our business and for the more than 10,000 and growing
loyal fans on our platform.”
Randy Eccker, Founder and CEO of RSports, added,
“Clearly, innovation is in GameBlazers’ DNA, having elegantly fused
traditional fantasy sports with digital collectible items and video
game mechanics to create a true evolution in fantasy sports gaming.
We are very pleased to welcome the forward-thinking GameBlazers
team into the RSports family. Their unique DFS platform is the
ideal complement to RSports’ growing portfolio of leading-edge,
free and cash-based interactive sports gaming platforms aimed at
entertaining and building an enduring bond with both passionate and
casual U.S. sports fans through next-level, highly differentiated
gaming experiences.”
