SIS will market a new pool betting based game in August after a successful trial during Euro 2012. Contagious offers bettors the chance to bet into a pool in-play with a jackpot awaiting the winner. SIS is providing data for the service and are targeting both retail and iGaming sectors. Dominic Atkinson, head of business at SIS, added: “We have worked closely with Contagious on getting this product to market. We believe it’s the first of its kind where you can bet into a pool during a football match. It also has a lottery element and it’s risk-free to the bookmaker and, taken all together, those factors make it an exciting product. It’s appropriate that Contagious has received the stamp of approval from the testers in the week that the new football fixtures have been released.”
