Sports Betting Operator Extrabet Nominated in iGaming Awards

extrabet.com has been recognised for its achievements in the iGaming industry, with nominations for Best Newcomer Operator, Online Sportsbook of the Year and Sports Betting Innovation.

Less than two years after re-launching as the world’s first betting platform to offer sports spread betting, sports and financial fixed-odds, sports and financial binary betting and a casino all under a single account, Extrabet has been recognised for multiple accolades, including Best Newcomer Operator at the iGB Affiliate Awards and Online Sportsbook of the Year at the International Gaming Awards. Extrabet was also nominated for Sports Betting Innovation at the EGR Awards.

“It’s such an honour to be recognised for these achievements,” said Edward Randall, Manager of Affiliates and Casino for extrabet.com. “We have an unbelievable team here and with the dedication of our affiliates, we have been able to gain a strong momentum within the iGaming space. We strive to offer a very unique offering, with the best in-running services in the industry. These nominations reaffirm our commitment, and we are eager to enhance our positioning as one of the most desired affiliate partners in the gaming space.”

Extrabet offers a comprehensive mobile betting platform, which provides punters with the ability to place a spread bet, fixed-odds bet or binary bet from either their iPhone or mobile. Players interested in sports are also provided with a range of extra features to make their sports betting experience more entertaining and informed.

Extrabet launched its affiliate programme on the Income Access affiliate marketing software in September 2009, providing affiliates with access to a full range of advanced features, including advanced tracking reports and marketing tools.

“One of the most important feats in the iGaming industry is the ability to distinguish yourself, and offer players and affiliates true value, both in terms of entertainment and rewards,” said Income Access CEO, Nicky Senyard. “extrabet.com’s unique casino and sports betting platform, combined with ongoing affiliate and player promotions, have helped them secure a leading position—this commitment makes them strong contenders for these prestigious awards.”

The International Gaming Awards and iGB Affiliate Awards will both take place in January 2011.

Affiliates can find out more about the extrabet affiliate programme, and the opportunity to earn up to 40% revenue share and lifetime commission payments.
