‘Tinder for betting’ Bookee scoops Bright Minds Showcase startup prize worth £25K

December, 2016 – London, UK (Press Release): Mobile-first sports betting app Bookee has been awarded the top prize in the prestigious Brightest Minds Showcase at the iGaming Entrepreneur Conference.

The innovative platform – which is being described by many as Tinder for betting – was chosen ahead of 12 rivals at the London event as it scooped a mentoring and professional services package worth more than £25,000.

Each entrant presented a 60-second pitch video before answering questions from the assembled experts, mentors and investors at the Grange Hotel, Tower Bridge. In a highly-competitive field, the judges were ultimately wowed by the Bookee app, which offers users the chance to place a bet with the simple swipe of a finger.

“The mentoring and service providers all voted on their top three-rated projects based on innovation, team, likelihood of success and several other factors,” said Michael Caselli, the organiser of iGaming Entrepreneurs Conference, which took place on December 6.
