UK-based internet bookmaker Globet International Sports Betting has chosen Zukido for the launch of its new in-play sports betting platform.
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. The application will also include the capability to handle any other sport, whether in match or race format - anything from handball to Formula 1.
The initial launch of the multilingual web application will support five languages - English, Italian, Portuguese, Greeks and Bulgarian - and should be live before the end of the year.
David Sargeant, commercial director at Zukido, commented: "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 specialises 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."
Enrico Salvatori, Globet managing director, added: "Zukido is able to help us with our existing system and roll out a next-generation in-play service quickly and cost-effectively."
