Ladbrokes has made some recent additions to its online gambling platform in
trying to keep up with the latest technology that is now allowing gamblers to
place bets from practically anywhere, and at any time. Their latest
maneuver includes making a deal with Interactive Systems Worldwide Inc. to
provide a new software application to Ladbrokes eGaming through their subsidiary
company, Global Interactive Gaming Limited (GIG).
The specifics on the software application implemented by GIG, are that it
enables online gamers to make play by play bets on live sporting events.
For sports bettors, it does not get any better than this. The interface
will be enabled on Ladbrokes website, which will allow users to log online from
their home computers and make bets on a wide selection of events for each play
of the game. Live odds are posted for every wager, making the experience
par to playing standard online casino table games. This particular platform was
developed by ISWI, and goes under the name of SportXction System.
The details of the agreement between Interactive Systems and Ladbrokes
eGaming is that GIG will provide all software integration services and
maintenance for an eighteen month time period. The software integration
will include just about all of the sporting events that GIG is designed to
cover, including basketball, football, golf, tennis, cricket, darts and American
football. Both companies will share in the revenue brought in through the
website, while further integration will be strongly considered for mobile gaming
on cell phones and interactive television via Web/TV. The interface will
be enabled in several languages and currencies.
