Favourit, the tipping and betting social platform for sports fans, has released a free iOS app to complement its existing web and HTML5 apps.
Having already attracted more than $3.6m in investment, Favourit connects sports fans, their friends and licensed betting operators worldwide, providing a central hub where fans meet, discuss and bet on a wide range of professional sports including football, tennis, NFL, NBA and more.
Fans compete against friends and fellow sports enthusiasts by placing bets, either with virtual currency or with real cash integrating directly with betting operators.
Favourit was launched in June 2012 by brothers Toby and Josh Simmons. “Sports are about bringing people together to have fun, compete and win,” said CEO Toby Simmons.
“Social media platforms have changed the way we communicate on so many levels, and Favourit harnesses those capabilities for sports fans, giving them a revolutionary new way to discuss their teams, see the latest trends and stats from experts, and place virtual or real bets to increase the excitement of following the sports they love.”
Favourit’s platform integrates with betting operators in regulated markets including Paddy Power, as well as Luxbet, a part of the TABcorp Group.
