Betfair launches first iPad app
Betfair has launched the first betting application for the Apple iPad.
Betfair has launched the egaming industry’s first available betting application for the Apple iPad.
The free app, available to download from today and specifically designed for the iPad, will initially be available in the UK and Ireland.
Don Fotsch, Betfair’s global director of user experience, told EGRMagazine.com: “It’s clear to us when we observe our customers enjoying Betfair that they are often watching the games they want to bet on. Something we see globally as the iPad gets going is that it looks to be a strong complement to the television viewing experience.
“In my opinion, you’ll definitely see iPads appealing to a broader demographic than any other computing device in the history of the egaming industry.”
Earlier in May this year Betfair launched the first iPhone betting app, while in July it announced the industry’s first betting application for internet-connected televisions. There are currently very few internet televisions on the market. The Sony BRAVIA NX803, for example, is available for around £2,000.
