NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sportech Venues, Inc. ("Sportech"), a division of Sportech PLC (LSE: SPO), is pleased to announce a partnership with DraftDay Gaming Group, Inc. ("DraftDay") to provide a white-label daily fantasy sports platform, named MyWinners Fantasy (www.mywinnersfantasy.com), for customers at 14 wagering venues throughout Connecticut, and online at MyWinners.com. 

Sportech Venues' locations, branded as 'Winners', range from local betting parlors to a 50,000 square foot flagship venue, Bobby V's Restaurant and Sports Bar (located adjacent to Bradley International Airport), the next generation in premier sports entertainment and wagering venues.  Sportech's second Bobby V's flagship Sports Bar & Restaurant with wagering will open in Stamford, CT.

MyWinners.com is Connecticut's only legal online racing betting site, offering wagers on top thoroughbred, harness, and greyhound tracks from across the country and the world. 

The DraftDay platform provides Winners with an exciting new product, catering to a wider, younger demographic, in addition to the existing customer base within Winners' successful wagering venues.  "It's another great product to play when visiting our locations or when online," said Ted Taylor, President of Sportech Venues, Inc.

"With the popularity of daily fantasy sports at an all-time high, bringing the power of the DraftDay network to MyWinners.com customers was a logical next step," added Josh Tepper, General Manager of MyWinners.com. "We hope to provide our players with the same excitement and thrill that they enjoy with our racing content."

DraftDay is the market leading business-to-business daily fantasy sports platform, and is well-positioned to become an even more significant player in the explosive fantasy sports industry, by building partnerships within the regulated gaming, racing and media industries.
