BETDAQ ON THE MOVE WINS MAJOR AWARD

BETDAQ - The Betting Exchange has won a major prize at the O2 Digital Media Awards.  The fast growing betting service landed the Nokia sponsored gong for BEST NEW WIRELESS APPLICATION.

Launched just over two years ago, BETDAQ already has over 25,000 customers from more than 100 countries around the world.  This year it will handle in excess of EUR1 billion worth of bets.  This growth has been achieved largely through the company's website at betdaq but it has also been working for some time on a wireless application enabling those customers to place bets and monitor their positions from pocket as opposed to desktop devices.

"What we do is simple," said BETDAQ Director, Rob Hartnett, accepting the award. "We enable our customers to pit their wits and put their money down against fellow sports fans from around the world.   To make it simple though, is actually very complex."  

"This is bleeding edge technology, and we, together with our sister company New Symphony Technologies, have looked at various methods and numerous platforms for delivery beyond the normal channels of a betting service. We feel that the service we have now is worthy of extended roll-out, and it is a great honour that the judges should share that view, particularly when viewed alongside such giants as Microsoft."
