Case Study: Collegiate Development Football League achieves global live streaming and increased PPV revenue with DaCast

DaCast Helps the CDFL Go Big with New Revenues

The Collegiate Development Football League (CDFL), which runs games to help 18–24 year-old players get scouted, needed to move from pre-recorded VOD to reliable live broadcasts, monetize events with pay-per-view, and embed a branded player on its site. To meet requirements for seamless streaming, flexible pricing and player embedding, CDFL chose DaCast and its video streaming platform — including a global CDN, white‑label player and Pay As You Go/PPV features.

DaCast delivered an all‑in‑one streaming solution (CDN, Pay As You Go plan, embeddable white‑label player) plus personalized account support, enabling CDFL to livestream four December 2013 games to viewers in over 10 countries, achieve more than 5,000 hits per channel and generate significant PPV revenue. The success prompted CDFL to expand live streaming (weekly events and future big cycles), citing increased revenues and wider worldwide reach thanks to DaCast.
