Searching for Liquidity
The search for new games and offerings at the online casinos can be an all
consuming task for some gamblers; after all, there are just a handful of top
notch gambling software providers in the international industry. But Interactive
Systems Worldwide Incorporated (ISWI) put its faith in the SportXction in-game
betting software – and that faith is slowly beginning to pay off even though the
gamble has not fully paid off yet. Basically, ISWI is the parent company for the
product and has continued to funnel money into SportXction’s development despite
a rocky start and few online casinos and betting sites using the product.
Now however, SportXction is showing some very decent turnover and the gaming
product is pulling in some record net gaming revenues. According to figures
released by Global Interactive Gaming (GIG), the online casino gambling company
offering the SportXction betting product turnover is up a whopping 77 percent
compared to the same time in 2007 – turnover for June actually exceeded the $4
million mark. The internet is one of the most pervasive mediums on the planet
and online gamblers and bettors are really beginning to embrace the opportunity
to integrate their lives and easily participate in their favorite activities.
The ability to bet in real-time during a sporting event, while watching the game
in your home is truly revolutionary and many betting are only just aware that
in-game betting sites exist.
But for all of the reports that the SportXction online casino betting and gaming
product is gaining popularity in the market and beginning to show a positive
cash flow, there are still some problems that ISWI and GIG are in the process of
working out in the coming months. Liquidity is one of the primary issues for the
SportsXction product – there are just no cash reserves in place to protect the
company through a rough spot and, even more alarming perhaps is the fact that
the current CEO at SportXction has voluntarily waved his pay for the last
several months as the in-game betting product is still establishing itself in
the online casino betting and gambling industries. |
