Platforms

Interactive Television: Live Betting is ideally suited to interactive television as players can watch the game live, follow the action and bet through their remote control from their arm chair. Users can sit and watch the game, and the odds move until they see the price the want, and then come in and secure that price right there and then.

Internet: The Internet is by far the most accessible platform available today and enables Live Betting to be distributed to hundreds of thousands of users who can place bets on sports events that are taking place while they are at their computers. Live Betting operates through a small pop-up that can be positioned on the screen, enabling customers to continue other activities on their computers whilst they watch the odds move. GIG has also secured a strategic alliance with WinTV (link to Hauppauge information page) to enable customers to match up Live Betting with the live broadcast on their PC's.

Mobile Phone: Mobile technologically provides the ultimate freedom for sports fans wanting to play Live Betting. Customers can play anywhere, anytime whether they are enjoying the game at home, at the stadium or down at the pub with a friends!

Live Betting has been developed to work with WAP/GPRS and 3G mobile technology. The service is also able to be used with Wi-Fi local wireless technology and palm pilots or other mobile devices to enable betting shops, stadiums or other places to offer betting with live viewing or big screen entertainment.

Terminals: Live Betting can also be linked through VPN networks with touch screen terminals playable in betting shops, casinos and other licensed establishments.
