Paddy Power Sportsbook Goes Mobile

IRELAND -- 14th June, 2004 -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Irish Bookmaker have become the first to go live with a full Java service for mobile betting.

Orbis' OpenBet API technology is behind the bet placement within the new service, along with PaddyPower partners, Mfuse, who provided the front-end application based on their Novo transaction platform.

Benefiting from real time prices and a faster more streamlined GPRS service, the new system is easy to use and includes features such as handset recognition.

Paddy Power will continue to provide its longstanding WAP service, although as use of Java compatible handsets grows, its increased functionality will ensure it quickly becomes popular with mobile betting customers.
