The Oddslife platform enables sports media companies to use their local reach and brand to engage sports fans with social gameplay and community.

Guru.football.ua will provide us with the capability of engaging with our readership at a much deeper level than ever before.”
Oddslife’s Country Manager in Ukraine Alyona Gromova commented: “When the Oddslife social sports and gaming platform is combined with a sports media website offering readers high quality content, then we have the recipe for success. It is why Football.ua is such a perfect partner for us. Oddslife provides market leading software, consultancy and local country support and in return they provide us with marketing, brand awareness and access to local market expertise, which are invaluable to any local partnership.”
Oddslife CEO and founder Rasmus Sojmark added: “We are very excited to have Football.ua join our growing social sports and gaming network, and the site’s popularity in Ukraine and across Eastern Europe is extensive with new media partners in neighbouring countries already approaching us.
“As we approach the new football season we welcome more partners wanting to increase their level of engagement with their readers. Both Alyona and I will be at the Igaming Super Show in Amsterdam and we hope to see everyone there.”
