With an average change of forces every ten seconds, the volume of transmitted data requires naturally new approach when it comes to the need of being in touch with all the changes on the field using a smartphone, even the older models. “One should abandon relying on the same old tools we used in the pre-mobile era, because smartphones have dramatically changed the very nature of how we interact with the internet,” said Michael Schmidt. “Stakers’ highly proficient team is working to remove any hurdles deteriorating our customer’s betting experience. With Stakers.com mobile application score updates become sometimes available even faster than you might get them on your TV broadcasts. Our new mobile application will drastically increase player experience and would allow player concentrate on the actual odds, rather than see the goal scored 10 seconds ago on the TV . No longer need you to follow all matches you might be betting on - all the scores are now just one tap away in your Stakers’ app”.

The application seamlessly features with a statistics offering a real time view of the passed events, live event statistics as well as lineups. The event tracker follows the game with a tracker in tact with the action.

The all-new Stakers mobile application is available for all mobile devices users and is supported by all popular mobile browsers. “Our new mobile PWA is available on all mobile devices and tablets with Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Opera installed”, Schmidt said. “Our proprietary compression algorithm changes the game having the application fully stable even on the slowest networks”.

Besides sports pre-match and live-in-play betting, users of the app will benefit from more notable features including casino, live casino, financial betting and many others to keep the customers engaged and enhance their betting experience.
