WPFH to Acquire "Picking Duck" Fantasy Sports App

Thursday, February 1, 2018 4:41 PM UTC

LOS ANGELES, CA, Feb. 01, 2018 -- World Poker Fund Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: WPFH), a leading developer and operator of online technology, gaming platforms and brands, announces today that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Picking Duck (https://pickingduck.com/) and its recently released app (iOS).

WPFH is seeking to strengthen its presence in the Fantasy Sports & Sports Betting Market. With New Jersey heading to the Supreme Court to overturn “Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act” (PASPA), many states have started to prepare new laws in anticipation of PASPA being struck down, with Kansas being one of the most recent with their introduction of House Bill 2533 earlier this week.

Picking Duck has been an active leader in the Fantasy Sports & Sports Betting arena for many years, recently having placed 2nd at the Fantasy Sports Trade Association’s Winter 2018 Pitch Competition. Picking Duck’s iOS app is currently the highest rated Fantasy Sportsbook App available, and it’s FREE.

“This app takes the traditional thrill of sports betting and modernizes the gameplay for the new generation of players,” says CEO of Picking Duck, Kenneth Manubay.

“Fantasy Sports and Sports Betting is set to explode in the coming months. Picking Duck is the first piece in our expansion into the Fantasy Sports and Sports Betting world where we can actuate our celebrity ownership and connections,” says Travis Kasper, Chairman & CEO of WPFH.
