SimWin Sports, an interactive platform known for its artificial intelligence-powered fantasy sports, is expanding its horizons with the launch of a new virtual fantasy football league. In a bold move to bring together virtual sports, esports and NFTs, the league will have virtual teams fighting 24/7 to provide an immersive experience for casual sports fans and seasoned gamers alike. An exciting feature of the program is a cast of celebrities who will be mentoring some of these virtual teams. Notable names include Jerry Rice, Marshall Faulk, Tracy McGrady and NBA legend “Magic” Johnson. Johnson’s partnership with SimWin Sports began as a team owner, investor and advisor and has been an active part of the platform since June 2022. Perhaps most intriguingly, fans will not only watch, but participate. They will own and manage their virtual teams. With the power to train teams, fans can profit from player salaries, sponsorships and revenue sharing. SimWin even allows clients to discover and develop virtual college players, guiding them through various career milestones, including agent hunting and retirement. SimWin President and Chief Marketing Officer Tom Goedde emphasized the uniqueness of the project in an interview with Decrypt, saying, “This is one of the few, possibly the only Web3 experiences where you don’t have to sell digital assets to get money .” The platform uses artificial intelligence to train teams and execute plays decided by fans, a feature that not only enhances realism but also prevents cheating and game throwing. The move follows SimWin’s announcement of a strategic partnership with Sports Illustrated earlier this year. The company’s CEO, David J. Ortiz (no relation to MLB Hall of Famer David Ortiz), told Yahoo! that the purpose of the partnership is to “build bridges between our Web3 audience and the world of traditional sports.” finance. The new Football League is a big step in that direction. But SimWin doesn’t stop at football. The company has ambitious plans to expand into football, basketball and cricket, signaling a new era of digital sports participation. With a unique blend of traditional sports, fantasy leagues and virtual properties, SimWin Sports is poised to redefine the online sports and gaming landscape.
