TAPPP technology enables real-time wagers on live
event broadcast for the first time
NEW
YORK, June 29, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TAPPP, a
New York-based technology and
marketing company dedicated to encrypted on-screen transactions and
curated viewer experiences made single-screen sports betting a
reality during the final weekend of the Major League Rugby (MLR)
season with matches streamed on The Rugby Network (TRN). With
TAPPP's proprietary, real-time gaming technology, eligible viewers
were able to access sports betting data originating in a live
broadcast environment while also placing authenticated bets via
PlayUp directly on their device within the same live-broadcast
environment.
"TAPPP has clearly demonstrated that single-screen sports
betting has become a reality, now!", said Sandy Agarwal, Founder and Chief Executive
Officer at TAPPP. "I am extremely proud of our team bringing to
market such transformative technology, and I am so appreciative of
our partners MLR, TRN and PlayUp for working together with us to
bring our transaction and engagement platform to life."
The unveiling of the live sports betting component of TAPPP's
and TRN's Pick&Go! platform was the culmination of the
partnership's first season aimed at increasing MLR match viewership
and rugby fan engagement via both free-to-play, prize-based games
of knowledge and skill and real-time, real money wagering. TAPPP is
the first company to have operated both a free-to-play and
real-time sports wagering product simultaneously via the same
screen presenting a live sports event.
"In the era of Smart TVs, interactive overlays have become a hot
topic" said Agarwal. "Interactivity is great but how about direct,
in-game, on-screen transacting involving a product where the price
can change every second? This is single-screen sports betting, and
this is what TAPPP's platform has delivered. With more seamless
transaction opportunities still to come."
TAPPP will leverage the activity data from the first year of
Pick&Go! to develop an enhanced free-to-play and real-money
gaming platform in time for the 2023 MLR season. The company is
also in discussions with several broadcasters and additional
sportsbooks to launch a similar interactive and transactional
platform, with both real-time, single-screen sports betting and
free-to-play contests in the second half of this year.
