PFG\u2019s funding will allow us to continue Fanplayr\u2019s growth with enterprise businesses in multiple markets and sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Increasingly, businesses are looking for global technology partners who can support them in the various geographies within which they operate. PFG was a perfect partner for us as we expand existing operations in Europe and APAC, while also establishing offices to meet demand in London, Sao Paulo, and Amsterdam and elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
