TotelFootball Press Center

TotelFootball today fought off the challenge of 11 igaming industry rivals to win the inaugural edition of The Pitch at EiG (European iGaming Congress and Expo) in Barcelona.

Following the Dragons Den-style presentations from a key member of each team, the audience voted to say how much they would invest in each company: €100,000, €50,000, €20,000, €5,000 or nothing.

With the company’s business development director Keith McDonnell taking centre stage, TotelFootball claimed the victory after it received the highest figure.

McDonnell highlighted the vast opportunities TotelFootball’s innovative game brings to both new and emerging markets in his pitch, as well as the player retention strengths and customer acquisition benefits to...

Wednesday, August 28, 2013 (London, UK) – TotelFootball has increased its global footprint by forming a supply partnership with Ocho Gaming, the leading operator and provider of online gaming to the Latin American market, though its JuegaOcho.com brand.

The agreement will see JuegaOcho.com members presented with a localised TotelFootball offering this season, ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Players in the soccer-obsessed region will benefit from joining the worldwide TotelFootball prize pool, which ensures liquidity and bigger payouts, as they wager on the performance of teams selected from top European competitions, including the Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga.

Thursday, August 15, 2013 (London, UK) – Fans of unique fantasy sports betting game TotelFootball, which allows players to place cash wagers on the performance of their dream teams, have even more reason to look forward to the new Premier League campaign following the introduction of a tantalising £100k jackpot.

The six-figure prize will be won if a manager’s team scores maximum points in a single game week and is up for grabs during each round of fixtures.

Being a TotelFootball fantasy manager will require even more selection skills this season with the introduction of team captains and a variety of formations.

Following user feedback, assigning a team captain – who earn double points – is now required, while a choice must be...

The wait is almost over. There are just four days to go before the English Premier League kicks off in what is expected to be one of the closest fought contests in its 21 year history.

But that won’t be the only closely fought rivalry. As legendary Liverpool Football Club manager Bill Shankly famously said: “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that”.

And for the millions of office workers who play Fantasy Football it is just that. Topping their private company league at the end of the season is arguably more important than which professional team ends up lifting the coveted trophy. Pride and, above all, punters’ reputations, are at stake.

For...
