Bwin.com launches universal sports betting app
Bwin releases live and pre-event sports betting app for both Android devices and the iPhone.
Bwin has launched a universal live and pre-event sports betting application for both Android devices and the iPhone.
The app offers live bets combined with live scores as well as single and multiple bets pre-event betting, however the latter is only for iPhone users. Customers can choose from the entire bwin betting portfolio including football, tennis, Formula 1, American football, ice hockey and skiing. Bwin.com customers can also use the app to access their account data and the ‘my bets’ overview that shows all current and historic bets.
The Android app is available to all bwin.com customers, while the iPhone application is only available in the iTunes Store in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Berthold Kao, head of mobile products at bwin, said the operator’s customers love the product, “that’s why we decided to double the possibilities by combining pre-event betting and live betting into one single app called bwin Sports.”
Earlier this July bwin was the first licensee to go live on Ongame’s cash poker mobile app on the Android.
The launch followed Ongame’s January’s roll-out of an iPhone client, with bwin again its first licensee, although Android users do not have to go through the device’s ‘marketplace’ to access the new version.This means, unlike with the iPhone product, it is not restricted to the three markets of Austria, France and the UK.
There are no major differences between the iPhone and Android versions, both of which only allow for single-table play, although the new product does allow players to pre-select their actions at the table.
