Inspired has launched six channels of Virtuals on GVC websites, including soccer, the groundbreaking new V-Play NFLA Legends Football and V-Play Basketball.  NFLA Legends Football is an officially licensed product with the NFL Alumni (“NFLA”), which brings all-time favorite NFL legends back to the field.  V-Play Basketball launched in 2019 and has become one of the best performing Virtual Sports online, delivering significant incremental revenue to Inspired’s customers.
