Monkey Knife Fight Partners With Miami Marlins As The Official Fantasy Sports Site

Published

on

 

Monkey Knife Fight (MKF), the fastest growing fantasy sports platform in North America, announced an official partnership with Major League Baseball’s Miami Marlins. As the team’s official fantasy sports site, MKF will be prominently displayed on the Marlins’ in-stadium branding, online assets, radio, and television.

Additionally, Monkey Knife Fight has teamed up with the Miami Marlins to donate $50,000 to the Miami Marlins Foundation’s Home Plate Meals Relief Fund, which addresses food insecurities across South Florida due to the pandemic. Separate from that donation, an MKF-branded cover will adorn two right field sections in Marlins Park during the 2020 season. Each time a Marlins home run ball hits the covering, MKF will donate an additional $10,000 to the Miami Marlins Foundation.

“We’re excited to partner with the Marlins and introduce our unique style of fantasy sports to their fans,” commented Bill Asher, Founder and CEO of Monkey Knife Fight. “What’s most important though, is helping those in need. So many in South Florida have been hit hard by this virus. We will do our part by giving back to their foundation and supporting the neighboring community, which has been one of the hardest hit areas during the pandemic.”

“The Marlins are the up and coming team in South Florida, which makes partnering with Monkey Knife Fight, one of the industry’s most innovative companies, a natural fit,” said Marlins Head of Partnership Strategy and Development David Oxfeld. “We appreciate the community-focused approach by MFK to engage with our fans and those in need in South Florida.”

This agreement, coupled with MFK’s recent partnership with Miami’s NFL franchise, signifies Monkey Knife Fight’s commitment to South Florida and the dedicated sports fans who call it home. The Marlins began the shortened 2020 season on July 24 with a three-game road series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

 

About the Miami Marlins
The Miami Marlins are Miami’s Major League Baseball franchise. Debuting in 1993, the organization has won two World Championships – in 1997 and 2003 – one of just five teams to win multiple titles during the team’s existence. The Marlins play their home games in Marlins Park, located in the heart of Little Havana. The state-of-the-art retractable roof ballpark opened in 2012 and is a first-class entertainment destination beyond baseball.

About Monkey Knife Fight
Ranked as the third largest Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) company, Monkey Knife Fight’s (MKF) award winning site is the fastest-growing gaming platform in North America. The company has achieved this explosive growth due to its unique, fun and engaging style of mobile sports gaming that truly levels the playing field for the average fantasy sports player. Unlike most DFS sites, where average sports fans are forced to play against professionals and rarely win, MKF offers its loyal users a dynamic, creative and ever-expanding slate of daily sports and esports contests, where having fun and winning, are part of the experience. Daily contests are offered for NFL, NBA, MLB NHL, Esports, Golf, Soccer, WNBA, and NASCAR events.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

Published

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely

Matt Zamroźniak

Chief Executive Officer

Prime Skill Games Inc.
