ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA–(Marketwired – Oct. 17, 2016) – Fantasy Aces Daily Fantasy Sports Corp. (the “Corporation” or “Fantasy Aces“) (TSX VENTURE:FAS)(OTC PINK:FASDF) is pleased to provide shareholders with a fall update which includes results through the first week of October.
Fantasy Aces is excited to announce the results of the first 5 weeks of the NFL season. A major indication of this performance is the site’s NFL tournament Overlay which is 1/4 the size as a percentage of gross revenue when compared to the 2015 same period. This statistic is a direct reflection of the Company’s improvement in managing its site operations.
Additionally, this past Sunday’s NFL tournaments generated the greatest single day tournament’s net revenue in the company’s history of $11,000, with $250,000 in prize payouts; even more noteworthy with only a 2% Overlay. With the NHL and NBA right around the corner, the Company expects to easily exceed its Q4 2015 revenue figures – Q4 being the largest revenue quarter of the year.
It’s also worth noting that the MLB’s 6 month season concluded Sunday October 2 generating specular performance increases over the same time last year. Gross revenue was up 231%, prize payouts greater than 240%, and 2015 overlay as a % of gross revenue dropped from 87% to an impressive 30% in 2016. Management’s expertise and continued achievement in its site management performance further validates our standing as a Top Five DFS site.
In addition, the NHL season is officially under way and having offered NHL contests for over 3 years we expect hockey to contribute 5% of our top line revenue, an important increase over the previous year’s 1.5%. This increase is due to our broadened contest offerings, improved competitive landscape as well as the recent acquisition of Fantasy Feud.
Tom Frisina, CEO of Fantasy Aces states: “I am encouraged with our current performance to date and have confidence in my team’s ability to outshine our past numbers quarter over quarter. The interest in the sector continues to grow, and with the States one by one, led by New York, adopting fully legal status and as a game of skill, the industry outlook continues to show incredible growth potential for years to come. This has been an exciting past few weeks and we look forward to creating greater shareholder value over the coming months.”
