Fantasy Sports Inc. ("Global") (TSXV: DFS) is
pleased to provide an update on the development status of its
proprietary B2B daily fantasy sports ("DFS") platform for the
European markets. Full integration is now complete into the NYX

testing has performed exceptionally in determining the system's
behaviour under both normal and anticipated peak load
conditions.
