Multi-Platform Strategy with Paddy Power

Irish betting giant Paddy Power was the first bookmaker to have both an iPhone and iPad Application in the App Store, as well as being in the Android marketplace. Mobenga was responsible for technical development of the apps in line with Paddy Power’s aggressive multi-platform strategy. “We are committed to delivering a superior mobile betting experience for all of our customers regardless of their platform of choice", says James Grimes, Product Manager at Paddy Power.

The Paddy Power app has received several significant industry acknowledgements. In September 2010 Google Mobile executive Ian Carrington named Paddy Power’s mobile portfolio as one of three "outstanding examples of optimized mobile platforms", the other two being Amazon and eBay. In November 2010, Paddy Power’s iPhone App won an “Appy” award for the Best Branded App in Ireland 2010.

Commercially the new Apps have been a huge success. “We have seen mobile turnover increase 287% in the first half of 2010. The World Cup was also a fantastic event for mobile. We had a 10-fold increase in mobile betting during World Cup 2010 when compared to Euro 2008", says Grimes.

As their mobile partner, Mobenga is committed to keeping up the pace and securing Paddy Power’s lead and innovation.

Aminoff continues: “Working in this way made it possible for us to take a leading role, release mobile solutions for different hand-sets and platforms and prove our innovative capabilities. Mobenga has supported us with good technical and strategic advice throughout the whole process”.
