Social gaming is slowing creeping its way into the online gambling market. We are seeing more and more real-money operators working with social gaming apps to create new and exciting experiences for players. This week, Betfect was launched, and it will be the first-ever real-money social betting app in the online casino world. On its own, Betfect is not a bookmaker; it is only the social network.
After you create your account and login for the first time, you will have to link your Betfect account with your real-money bookmaker profile. This ensures that underage individuals cannot use the online betting features. Betfect has a format that is similar to Twitter. Each user can follow and be followed by others on the site. You can find people to follow by clicking on the ‘People’ tab, which takes you to a list of Top Leaderboard players.
It lists their username, followers, the number of people that they are following, the number of bets they have placed and the profit that they have made thus far. When it comes to betting, players can wager on a wide range of football matches, including the Premiere League, Bundesliga and international matches. Every bet that a player makes will be logged on their profile, and they can write a comment to go along with each wager.
“The aim of Betfect is to revolutionise the online betting industry by merging betting companies with a social media platforms creating a bigger, broader and more relevant impact,” reads a statement from Betfect. Betfect is a great innovation for the social gaming market. Social casinos have already made their mark, and now it is time for social bookmakers to get on board.
We are excited to see whether or not Betfect catches on in the online casino world.
