ALISO VIEJO, CALIFORNIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 26, 2015) - Fantasy Aces Daily Fantasy Sports Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Fantasy Aces") (TSX VENTURE:FAS)(OTC PINK:FASDF) has filed its quarterly financials for the period ending September 30, 2015. It is important to note that these financials do not include the results of operations of the combined companies, as the merger between DraftTeam Daily Fantasy Sports and Fantasy Aces LLC closed after the quarter end on October 5, 2015.
The operating results presented in the financial statements do not show the revenue of the combined entity due to the date of the closing of the merger, but, the combined entities had a total of CDN of $785,216 in revenue, a significant increase over the prior year. This increase is due to the very successful marketing program that Fantasy Aces has undertaken in 2015 as well as the overall increase in the DFS industry this year.
Fantasy Aces has seen impressive year-over-year growth in 2015 through Q3 of greater than 500% in gross revenue, prize payouts, deposits and game entries.
Fantasy Aces' retention and conversions from user signups to depositors is among the highest in the DFS industry, which provides further validation of the Corporation's site features, user interface and customer service, which is highly respected by industry players.
"Despite the obvious macro headlines we've all been seeing, we're very happy with the continued progress and rapid success we've achieved over the last few months," says Tom Frisina, CEO of Fantasy Aces. "Our user base and deposits have grown tremendously over the last several quarters and we don't see any signs of it slowing down. As we've said all along, we welcome regulation in the industry and believe it will bode very well for companies and players alike. 2016 will be a very exciting year for Fantasy Aces and we look forward to showcasing our growth to our shareholders."
Fantasy Aces is one of the few DFS companies to hold Live Championship Finals for all major sports. It held its Live Final for college football this past weekend in Newport Beach, California. The event included the winners of 13 qualifying contests, who won an all-expenses-paid trip to participate in the one-day, head-to-head competition for a $40,000 grand prize and $100,000 in total tournament prizes.
"The experience was absolutely amazing," stated TheSiege, the college football Live Final champion. "From the boat trip on Friday night, to a nice dinner, to the all-day experience at American Junkie it was awesome. Hope to be back next year to defend the title."
The next Live Final takes place on December 13, when 40 qualifying contestants will travel to Newport Beach to compete in the $500,000 NFL Championship.
Fantasy Aces sees continued growth for the Corporation through:
- Launch of its iOS App for iPhone in December 2015. It has been described by industry influencers who have seen the prototype to be one of the best online site adaptations to the mobile world when compared to other daily fantasy sports mobile apps.
- Expansion into two new sports in 2016, which will complement its current offerings of six sports, which includes NFL, NBA, MLB, PGA, CFB and NHL.
