18/10/2011Globet develops in-play betting offering with Zukido
Globet International Sports Betting Limited has signed a deal with Zukido to launch a new in-play sports betting platform which will go live before the end of this year.
As part of the agreement Zukido will build a Flash-based in-play front end, as well as providing consultancy services to help integrate the Zukido solution with the Globet proprietary back end.
The new Zukido-built in-play solution will feature dedicated scoreboards for football, basketball, tennis, volleyball and ice hockey, and will also include the capability to handle any other sport such as handball of Formula 1, whether in match or race format.
“Zukido are really proud to be helping Globet take their in-play product to the next level,” said Zukido's commercial director David Sargeant. “Zukido works with a number of bookmakers who are looking to add value to their existing sports betting product, but not at the expense of compromising their uniqueness.”
“Like Globet, many of these sports betting companies have proprietary systems and Zukido specialise in helping these organisations evolve their own systems. This is both in an advisory consulting capacity as well as building great value bespoke products on top of these systems. We are delighted Globet share our vision and we are excited about this partnership.rdquo;
The initial launch of the multilingual web application will support five languages- English, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, and Bulgarian - and is expected to go live before the end of the year.
“Zukido were the natural choice for us,” said Enrico Salvatori, managing director at Globet. “They are able to help us with our existing system and roll out a next-generation in-play service quickly and cost-effectively.”
Zukido currently provides its' services to a number of leading online gaming operators including the likes of bet365, Betfred, Boylesports, Victor Chandler, Stan James and Blue Square.
