Betfect: The Social Network for Sports Betting
LONDON, May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Ladbrokes and William Hill are Now Live on BetfectÂ
By announcing the launch of William Hill on its platform, London-based tech startup
Betfect [https://betfect.com ] has achieved a major milestone in its aim to completely
revolutionise the betting industry. The startup is using technology to create a new level
of engagement in the digital betting experience by launching a social network for
comparing, making and sharing sports bets from the UK's leading bookmakers.
After decades of betting being a social activity, encouraging punters to gather in
their local bookmakers or pub to discuss sporting events and share their tips, the
upsurgence of technology and online betting has impaired the experience's social
dimension. Betfect is bringing the social element back into betting by using newly
available technologies to offer a one-stop destination for the betting community to share
and test their betting tips, thus placing social interaction back at the centre of the
online sports betting experience.
Betfect's technology allows users to use their existing online betting accounts to
place, share and copy bets all in one place - forming an exclusive hub to interact,
compete, track performances and share inside knowledge with the community. Users can
manage their betting accounts from multiple bookmakers directly from betfect.com.
[http://betfect.com ] The platform facilitates the entire betting process from the
registration for new users to selecting bet and making deposits and withdrawals. Â
While users can be registered with different bookmakers and bets can be placed through
Betfect's website, the company is not a bookmaker itself and facilitates these functions
through previously unavailable deep API integrations into the leading sports betting
companies with whom the bet is accepted and settled.
Betfect's website went live last year with Ladbrokes. Following the launch of William
Hill, Betfect [https://betfect.com ] is now positioning itself as the market leader in
this exciting new segment, with two of the biggest European bookmakers now available.
Alex Rutherford, Head of Product Innovation at William Hill commented the following:
"Creating a social network for the sports betting community, allowing users to stay
connected while using our services is a great idea. We are delighted to boost innovation
by helping and supporting startups like Betfect to increase the level of engagement
amongst our customers and to bring new ideas to market.".
Announcing the major milestone for the company, Giacomo Alpago, Betfect's founder
said: "We are delighted to be the first social sports betting application to fully and
seamlessly integrate with both Ladbrokes and William Hill's APIs to provide an enhanced
betting experience for our users. We aim to socialise the digital betting experience and
do for the betting industry what eToro is doing for the financial trading markets. It is a
major coup for Betfect that major operators like William Hill and Ladbrokes are keen to
work with us to drive innovation in this sector in order to give punters the best betting
experience possible."
Betfect's website provides advantages for all types of players, from beginners to
expert tipsters. It simplifies the learning process for new bettors, creating a community
for them to seek advice and allow them to copy enticing betslips, all with the click of a
button. More experienced tipsters can compete with each other by climbing the leaderboard
[https://betfect.com/leaderboard ] and they are also invited to join the competitions
[https://betfect.com/competitions ] and reward programs to win prizes ranging from free
bet offers to match tickets.
Following the launch of William Hill, Betfect is in the process of integrating
additional bookmakers, sports data providers and releasing iOS and Android applications.
