ASX Enters Distribution Agreement with 4Tune Entertainment Group for North American Sports Gaming Markets
Portland, Oregon – The American SportZ Exchange (ASX) has announced a major distribution agreement for its social gaming products with 4Tune Entertainment Group. The deal has the potential to reach over 90 million digital users in the USA.

It will offer live ‘share prices’ of individual players and teams based on expected performance.
Power says that he has already entered partnership discussions with multiple US professional sports teams and broadcasters. These include the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays MLB teams, Las Vegas’s Golden Knights NHL, New Orleans Saints NFL, and the online sports subscription video streaming service DAZN, while the Canadian broadcasting and telecoms group Rogers Sports & Media is also in discussions with the Company.
4Tune CEO, Robert Miller said: “The ASX set of products and fan engagement tools has significant appeal for US professional sports teams. Our strategic sports broadcast partners see ASX as an intuitive extension of fantasy sports with the excitement of a trading marketplace. The ASX team has combined intuitive play using familiar stock exchange transactions with the dynamics of live sporting events and in-stadia play.”
ASX and 4Tune are exploring several application models which include a standalone exchange for fans and a white-label solution for major sports teams or media operators. Paddy Power said: “There are opportunities for teams and clubs to own their fans’ engagement in this type of activity.” Pending completion of ASX capitalization, 4Tune expects to launch ASX by the first quarter of 2022.

Play’n GO granted Alberta iGaming licence, expanding Canadian market footprint
The Swedish gaming giant confirms its entry into another regulated market, with its industry-leading portfolio of games set to launch in Alberta.
Play’n GO, one of the world’s leading casino entertainment providers, has been granted a licence to supply online gaming content in the Canadian province of Alberta, marking another milestone in the company’s expansion across regulated North American markets.
