Available on desktop and mobile at Pools.Betfair.com, Betfair Pools will offer unique pools and jackpots for the World Cup and regular football season, as well as a partial ‘cash out’ option.

Colossus Bets already gives players the chance to win £10,000,000 every week via their flagship football prediction game The Colossus.

Betfair COO Mark Brooker said: “Betfair Pools enables us to tap into the significant scale of pool betting available on Colossus, whilst supporting the market-leading position we have built in ‘cash out’ betting.”

Bernard Marantelli, Colossus Bets founder and CEO, added: “We are delighted to be able to launch with Betfair, an operator who we have had a close association with for a significant period of time.”
