The UK’s Ladbrokes Sportsbook & Racebook is giving users of its fantasy football mobile app, Mirror Fantasy iTeam, the chance to go head-to-head in a mini-league for a prize pool of more than £10,000.
The app is free to download, and players 18 and older can compete by joining a Ladbrokes Free Bets League on their phones.
Fantasy iTeam, which features real-time transfers, a live and interactive news feed and instant scores and squad news, boasts more than 1.2 million users.

“We’ve just seen a fantastic Euro 2016—England aside—but for the Mirror, the football never stops,” added Mark O’Donnell, head of Betting and Gaming for Trinity Mirror Solutions.
