After quitting Oddschecker cold turkey last month, Ladbrokes have decided to try another month on the wagon and see how bad the withdrawal pains get. A company spokesman told eGaming Review that Lads would be assessing the impact of their pull-out before deciding whether to (a) head back down to the local to drink with their former mates, or (b) stay at home on the sofa with their new 888 bird, watching that crap remake of Upstairs Downstairs. Or maybe they’re just tired of trying to close the gap between themselves and the private company that’s made Oddschecker their bitch, Bet365.
Finally, the Nevada Gaming Control Board has announced that Leroy’s App, American Wagering’s mobile sportsbetting product, has successfully passed its field trial. The app, which works on Blackberry smartphones, uses geo-tracking to permit Nevada residents to place sports bets from anywhere within state borders. With that hurdle overcome, American Wagering has submitted a new app to the Control Board for approval, this one operating on the fast growing Android platform.
