Social Media Application

The Client

The Client was a startup company interested in implementing an entrepreneurial concept they created.

The Client wanted to develop an application for the Facebook online community. The application would allow Facebook users to earn and bet fake currency on global sporting events.

The Solution

AllianceTek created a web-based application that allows members of the Facebook community to earn fake currency in the form of electronic “chips” and place wagers with these chips on global sporting events. The application provided live scores and betting lines in order to ensure the relevancy of the users’ bets. Numerous tools were integrated into the site to allow communication between users and promote a community feel.

Other highlights of the application include:

• Integration of third party data feeds for live scores and betting lines
• Seamless integration with existing Facebook community site, including the use of a number of Facebook community interaction tools
• Robust logic to calculate winning and losing bets and the appropriate chip allocation amounts
• User-friendly interface that encourages site activity and membership growth
