Paddy Power Launches Social Betting Game

A new social betting game dubbed “BetDash” has been launched this week by Irish bookmaker and online gambling firm Paddy Power. The game gives punters ten days to turn a virtual GBP 100 000 into GBP 1 million by betting; in return, if they get to the GBP 1 million, BetDash will pay out 25X the player's initial stake. Some of the game's features include useful bet feeds which show a real time view of each bet placed by BetDash players, the ability to follow top player activity, view trending bets, get boosters which allow for unlocking of various bonuses throughout the 10 day game. There are also the challenge option on other players bets which earns bankroll bonuses and awards when players reach prescribed goals. The sports included in the BetDash offering are tennis, football and horseracing as well as many others, and live in-play betting. Regarding the new offering, Justin Goldman, co-founder of BetDash said: “There have been many failed attempts at creating a successful social betting game. BetDash is bucking that trend by delivering a unique game design that enables punters to enjoy the thrill of sports betting in a low-risk, incredibly engaging social gaming environment.”
