Sports betting software and trading services provider Amelco has launched a bitcoin betting product that allows punters to bet on the short-term fluctuations of the cryptocurrency over a set time period, such as a minute.
Operable as an extension to Amelco’s platform used by sportsbooks, it has been created to complement existing betting features – such as a lull during half-time of a football match, where punters will be able to make quick bets on the movement of bitcoin as it fluctuates over a short time scale.
Designed to be integrated into the existing Amelco Trading System already used by sportsbook operators, it is set to offer an entertaining, side-betting option as part of a main event, or for a quick, enjoyable gamified betting experience in its own right – with the chance to enjoy a quick win at any time.
Commenting on the launch, Amelco’s head of global financial products, Justin Head, said: “We are very excited to be launching FinXpress, an entirely new type of side-bet that will keep punters entertained during betting lulls.
“Compulsive viewing and engaging, it is user-friendly and has no hidden extras – simply offering broker-free betting fun on the volatility of cryptocurrency.
“The best part is that Bitcoin never sleeps, so punters can have a simple, affordable bet whenever they fancy, with the chance to know if they’ve won in as short as minute.”
