This is an awesome idea, I wonder why it took so long for a coin like this to be developed.
Just one question though:
I haven't read the whole thread but so far I've only seen legal issues about the pictures etc. so don't shoot me if this has been answered yet...
But what about the gambling license? If you're offering it to a US crowd only then you don't need that but in Europe you do:

Thanks in advance.
The most important fantasy football game in UK is Premier League with over 4 millions users :

No. Because their prizes is not like Fanduel prizes in fiat money
How many time Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are not fully regulated in UK and EU, you can consider Footballcoin a simple Football Manager game with collectible cards, so it's not requiring any betting license. PES,FIFA,Football Manager (EASport) and even Premierleague doesn't need a betting licence(most of them has an in-game coin also). At least at this moment
I know that's what I said, license for the pictures and stuff.
Omnisport is just an API which allows you to post sport news on your own site and the license gives you permission to do so...
I'm talking about the gambling licenses which are needed in every European country not just the UK. Gambling commissions are seperate entities in all countries and Fanduel and Draftkings applied for a license in the UK, giving them right to operate in the UK.
I really hope the OP can comment on this because without a license running this platform in the UK or other European countries will open a big can of worms, other betting platforms are touchy about this...
Why don't you answer to my questions?
Has https://www.premierleague.com/ a licence for gambling?-pls check Is Premier League a fantasy game? If you don't know the meaning of "betting","gambling" and the legislation, pls don't continue to bother us with your non-sens question...in footballcoin you don't pay your fees in fiat or btc, you don't win your prizes in fiat or btc....
Before to enter in a such a sophisticated discussion I suggest you to play Fanduel/Premier league/Footballcoin and maybe you'll understand the differences...what is gambling and what's not gambling
When UK and EU WILL RECOGNIZE XFCCOIN as a money, I'm sure it'll not be a problem for them to pay fees for a gambling licence
I hope it'll happen soon and the price it'll skyrocket
