AVID GALAN – then Chairman of Picklive – discussed the ways
operators could invigorate their sportsbetting business. “The near simultaneous rise of in-play betting and mobile technology has ushered in a new period of revenue generation that is set to overwhelm certain analyst forecasts of an international market (excluding the US) worth $13.4 billion by 2015.” “One of the newest forms of
innovation in this regard comes in the form of ‘live fantasy football’ which seeks to turn the
traditional fantasy sports model on its head by marrying it with the in-play betting concept. The premise is that the ‘live’ or ‘in-play’ aspect runs as a form of ‘second screen entertainment’ to the core ‘season long’ model and also allows for the expansion of the offering beyond soccer to sports such as cricket and American Football. It is a fusion of sportsbetting, in-play engagement and, importantly, social-style gaming which is continuing its rapid convergence with the real money gambling environment.”

OB WHEELER – then Commercial Director at Cozy Games – told us “Tablet and mobile devices will be the

“probably selling a digital poker table to a very scary looking Serbian and then agreeing to go with it to Belgrade for the three-month trial. He also said in ten years he hoped to be:
“Working remotely from a nice yacht sipping Krug”. We’ll let you know how he is doing in two years’ time!

hinkManagement.com’s then Director – PHIL SHAW – helped us ‘get Social gaming right’. “Social gaming offers a
fantastic opportunity to generate revenue and brand awareness. However, companies are reluctant to adopt this medium, as they simply don’t realise how easy it is. Many of our clients have a fear of entering this space and it’s down to a lack of understanding and internal IT bottlenecks. We are able to demonstrate how straightforward building a social gaming platform can be, by taking the white label of a proven and tested product and tailoring it to a client’s own requirements.”
