Young Australian technology entrepreneur has resurrected the collapsed PlayUp sports fantasy and betting business and claims it now could be headed for an ASX and Nasdaq float, valuing the business at more than $700 million.
Daniel Simic, 41, says PlayUp should have annual gross gaming turnover of $500 million after a string of acquisitions and deals this month.
PlayUp, which offers daily fantasy sports games, claims to have about 425,000 registered users. About 65 per cent are in India and 20 per cent in Australia, Mr Simic told The Australian Financial Review.

The business has launched its own cryptocurrency, the PlayChip Utility Token, built on the Ethereum blockchain and specifically designed for use as a universal payment and rewards system for the online gaming industry
"We'll be doing a cryptocurrency IPO in the middle of the year and then you'll see us doing an reverse listing on the ASX by the end of the year," Mr Simic said.
PlayUp last week signed a heads of agreement with the ASX-listed Mission NewEnergy, a shell company that formerly had biofuel assets, which also has traded over the counter in the United States for a reverse takeover and began the process of trying to relist the company in both countries.
"The PlayChip is a unique offering [and] we expect that with the successful integration of Blockchain technology and the completion of ASX and Nasdaq listings, our company will be positioned to be a dominant player on the global stage in fantasy sports, online gaming as well as the emerging blockchain technology sector," Mr Simic said.
PlayUp also has completed a deal to purchase the Draftstars daily sports fantasy business from corporate bookmaker CrownBet and ClassicBet, an online bookmaker.
"Draftstars is an ideal acquisition for PlayUp delivering immediate and significant growth in our Australian user base," said Mr Simic. "And we are committed to growing the ClassicBet business beyond Australian shores and will integrate the 'PlayChip' as a new currency option within its platform."
PlayUp's chequered history included raising $100 million from dozens of high-profile investors, but by January 2016 its parent company, Revo Pty Ltd, was in liquidation.
Mr Simic's involvement with PlayUp began in February that year with the purchase of secured debt in the company from Prime Minister Turnbull's son Alex, who had been assigned the debt months earlier from the family investment company, Turnbull & Co.
Malcolm Turnbull had previously invested $1 million in PlayUp shares, along with other high-profile investors such as Rich Listers David Paradice and Allan Myers and sports stars Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist. It had then been converted to debt in Revo after which the Turnbulls had become secured creditors.
Mr Simic relaunched PlayUp in July 2016. He said the business had worked because it had been run on a leaner cost base and with a more precise strategy.
"I wanted this to be an Australian success story and turn it around," he said. "You get your gross gaming turnover and don't have many overheads and you can be profitable. That is what we have done."
