Paddy Power Launches iPhone App
Paddy Power remains as Ireland’s biggest internet and land-based gambling group;
the online casino and betting group has finally launched its own real money
iPhone application through the Apple’s iTune store. Through its close
collaboration with Mobenga, a mobile gaming developer and technology company
that powered and helped develop the iPhone app, Paddy Power is now the third
company launching this type of product into the market, this release directly
follow apps from Paddy Powers rivals, Betfair and Australia’s Tabcorp made the
move into the iPhone market last May. This new product will be handy for
enthusiasts of internet gambling, given that the downloadable iPhone application
enables players to access and manage their online gambling accounts through an
iPhone or iPod touch mobile devices. This effort shows how Paddy Power is
continually solidifying its position as one of the leading companies of online
casinos and internet betting activities.
This new real money iPhone application is actually the free and downloadable
version of Paddy Power’s own iPhone-optimised web application that has been used
at the company's own online casino and betting sites. The product largely caters
to customers based in Ireland and UK and according to the product manager of the
company, James Grimes: The company is delighted with the early success of the
new app, given how customers responded to it; the said iPhone application
already constitutes a rate of more than 50% of sports betting on Paddy Power’s
mobile channel. Grimes also elaborated and highlighted that the football season
poses great opportunities for mobile betting so this new product will surely be
useful for all gambling enthusiasts looking to make their betting easier through
mobile devices at betting sites and online casinos. As such, the company looks
forward to gaining even more customers in the coming months.
Grimes also noted that the iPhone app has been developed over several months
using customer feedback, and strong and efficient working relations with Mobenga.
Clearly, Paddy Power has been aiming to provide both its online casino and
mobile consumers with a fully optimized mobile gambling and betting experience.
