IQ-Ludorum plc, a leading provider of wagering software solutions, and Phantom Fiber, a leading provider of real time wireless technology to extend software solutions to handheld devices, is pleased to announce the launch of Wireless Wagering with WWTS in Antigua. This is the first live installation for the Wireless Wagering solution, recently developed through a partnership between IQ-Ludorum and Phantom to exploit the enormous global potential of wagering over wireless devices - Cell Phones and connected/integrated Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) running the Pocket PC and Palm OSs.
WWTS has been a leading innovator in the offshore gaming industry for over 10 years and once again has shown this leadership with the promotion of wireless betting technology. The system provides seamless, single-account integration between its existing IQ-Ludorum supplied call-centre and Internet betting platform and wireless devices, enabling customers to bet anytime and anywhere they choose.
Players may wager on any sporting event, using the touch screen capability of the wireless device and the flexible and easy to use wireless interface to the WWTS wireless Web-based service. The service provides the player with full access to his or her wagering account with WWTS.
WWTS will aggressively market the new service and, along with IQ-Ludorum and Phantom, believes in the huge potential of Wireless Wagering and its contribution to the future expansion of the betting industry into the mass market. Initially, WWTS will provide its leading players with devices and wireless subscriptions, allowing them to get up and running immediately with this exciting new technology.
"We are very excited about the potential of Wireless Wagering and will not only promote this service to our existing customers, but will also use it as a platform to attract new players to WWTS. The partnership between IQ-Ludorum and Phantom Fiber Inc is an ideal one for providing a state-of-the-art and evolving solution. We are pleased with the straightforward interface allowing players to bet on their handheld device and are looking forward to further technical innovation for future expansion of the service."
