In the online gaming market, we are beginning to see a bit of oversaturation among social casinos. What we have yet to see is a social version of sportsbetting, and bwin.party is finally offering this service to punters. bwin.party has now launched the ‘Sportster – Bet and Win’ Facebook application, which allows players to place virtual wagers on their favourite teams.
The app will consist of live matches from top-tier leagues around the world, such as the English Premier League, the German Bundesliga and the Spanish Liga. All of the outcomes will be calculated using stats from the actual games and the app’s ‘proprietary odds prediction engine’. This is a great idea because it offers players all of the fun and excitement of wagering on live matches without worrying about losing cash.
Of course, the downside is that they won’t win any money other – but it will certainly a provide a rush. Since success in sportsbetting requires a great deal of experience and knowledge, the app will also benefit players who wish to try their hand at betting before actually wagering real cash on games. Another unique feature of the app is the Bet Race.
This allows players compete in groups, ranking players based on their successful wagers. There are also Interactive Quests, which provide players with the chance to unlock challenges and level up. “Sportster—Bet and Win is one of the first and most unique social sports betting games,” says Barak Rabinowitz, CEO of Win.
“Virtual match betting with interactive features like ‘Bet Race’ keep the heart-pumping action going even when there are no real-world matches happening.” If you enjoy a good punt but are on a budget, this is an app that you will certainly want to try. It looks like a great alternative to visiting the local betting shop, and we can’t wait to give it a spin.
