From 'La Porra' to 'Bananas'
If you like playing 'la porra' with your friends, now you can also do it online thanks to betMaster. A free online sports betting game that allows users to bet on football, basketball, tennis, baseball matches or sports events such as Formula 1, Motorsports, or boxing matches.
It is not just a betting app. With betMaster, you can challenge your friends online and test your sports knowledge without going bankrupt. In betMaster, users don't bet with real money, but with their own virtual currency, 'bananas'. The more correct predictions you have, the more bananas the game gives you to continue betting and challenging your friends.
The betting simulation is as complete as any bookmaker, including the odds (which determine the potential winnings), game statistics, and of course, rankings that reflect the players' progress compared to their friends or the betMaster community.
"There are many people who like sports, but not so many who want to bet with real money, but I'm sure they would bet with a game that allows them to bet on real sports events, with similar odds to those of a bookmaker," explained Javier González, CEO and founder of BetMasterApp, to EFE.
betMaster is one of the five projects chosen by the Conector GAMES accelerator in Madrid for this year 2015. The acceleration process is in an advanced stage and Social Gaming Factory (the development company) expects to close their second funding round before the start of the 2015-16 football season, a key factor, although not the only one, for the app in Spain.
