In addition to our B2C offering we are live with 4 B2B partners already, with 12 more signed across Asia, Europe and Africa and at various stages of development. This is also a week which has seen our biggest Pick 4 rollover pool with a £310,000 pot and we expect 2015 will see our pools offered globally, driving liquidity and growth of the world’s first truly lotto-sized sports pool”.

About Colossus Bets
Founder and CEO Bernard Marantelli is a professional gambler, who after winning significant sums from multi-leg bets around the world, decided jackpot pools were not run optimally. After failing to convince incumbent operators to improve their product offering to generate bigger pools, he set up Colossus Bets to provide lottery-sized jackpot pools on a weekly basis.
On May 31st 2014 Bernard lead one of three syndicates to share a world record £5.4m Scoop6 bonus, after sharing a £10,000,000 pool eight ways the previous week.
The world’s biggest bet, ‘The £10,000,000 Colossus’ is a seven leg correct score football game offered weekly. Colossus Bets also offers a series of other multi-million pound pools based on correct scores and a suite of correct outcome (Home/Draw/Away) games.
Colossus Bets is currently developing multi-million pounds games for NFL/NBA/horseracing/greyhounds/AFL and ARL.
