“The IFLEX betting platform project is worth
over US$1million and will see investment in a state-of-the art, innovative,
robust and high-performance betting solution that meets the growing demands of
the international gaming industry. It is an excellent business-to-business and
business-to-consumer platform that supports both the current retail and future
Internet channels, allowing customers to move beyond the compromises of the
current generation of betting technology”.
President and Chief
Executive at SVL Brian George in a Press Release to the Jamaica Gleaner and the
Jamaica Observer on their IFLEX Betting platform launched on Tuesday October 20th
2015.
Supreme
Ventures Limited is finally going mobile.
This
as they've recently upgraded their sports betting platform to a IFLEX Betting
platform as reported in the article “SVL
invests US$1m in new tech”, published Wednesday, October 21, 2015 BY STEVEN JACKSON Business reporter,
The Jamaica Observer.

The
US$1 million (JA$120 million) upgrade, which was completed and implemented on
Tuesday October 20th 2015 after extensive re-training of their staff, agents
and the terminal operators, was done on contract by contractor Intralot.
So
what is the IFLEX Betting platform and why is it such a big deal anyway? This
is because it marks the introduction of Mobile Gaming to Jamaica as well as
Mobile money to place bets ad receive winnings!
IFLEX Betting platform -
How SVL is on par with Gaming outfits in North America and Europe
The
IFLEX Betting platform is an all encompassing Gambling and gaming platform that
provides complete sports betting management to track the following aspects of
their operation in real-time:
1.
Competition
2.
Games
3.
Handicaps
4.
Odds
5.
Potential liabilities
6.
Trends
The
software platform has an intuitive GUI (Graphic User interface) that's easier
for JustBet agents to use and allows for faster transaction of betting tickets
as well as the sale of phone cards. It's a significant step up from the LOTUS
system that was being used by the almost 200 agents across the island.
In
addition to the IFLEX Betting platform, Supreme Ventures also upgraded their
locations with improved Flat screen HDTV for improved viewing of their Gaming
Results as well as a VPN (Virtual Private Network) over a new ADSL Broadband
Internet for more secure transactions.
I
should know, I regularly place bets at the JustBet located in Cross Roads and
I'm quite pleased with the improvements and the decor thus far.
The
new system saw upgrades to more than 200 JustBet agents, including installation
of other equipment at JustBet agent locations such as TV monitors for live
betting odds and game results, as well as the deployment of a new virtual
private network based on asymmetric digital subscriber line, or ADSL
technology, for a higher-quality output to the agent network.
The
IFLEX Betting platform has the following sections:
1.
Auto Feed
2.
Back Office Applications
3.
Betting Content Data Management
4.
Content Management
5.
Game Engine
6.
Live Betting
7.
Risk Analyser
8.
Risk Management
This
latest upgrade puts Supreme Ventures Limited on par with Gaming and Gambling
outfits in North America and Europe.
Supreme Ventures IFLEX
Betting Platform Upgrade - How Mobile Gambling via Smartphone is finally coming
to Jamaica
But
it’s the other features of the IFLEX Betting platform installed by Intralot
that caught my eye.
Social
Gaming, which implies that some aspect of Mobile Gaming is in the works as
noted in the article “SVL
Upgrades IT Platform For Sports, Mobile Betting”, published Friday October
23, 2015, The Jamaica Gleaner.
So
says President and Chief Executive at SVL Brian George in a Press Release to
the Newspapers, where he seems to hint at the rollout coming sometime in
November 2015, quote: “We took the time to get this right and will continue to
make our mark in Jamaica’s gaming industry with innovative and creative gaming
content to suit the market’s needs. The new IFLEX technology platform will also
pave the way for our mobile gaming delivery, coming soon”.
This
is the same mobile Gambling system I'd predicted back in June 2015 as reported
in my blog
article entitled “@SVLotteries's
Gambling App coming October 2015 - How to launch Mobile Money and beat @NCBja,
@GraceKennedyGrp and @Digicel_Jamaica in Mobile Money Remittance Pie”.
No
word on who their Mobile money partner will be.
But
I suspect it may be provided by JCCUL (Jamaica Co-operative Credit Union
League) and Mozido Jamaica Mobile Money platform called CONEC Mobile Wallet as
hinted in the article “Supreme
Ventures May Connect With Conec”, published Friday June 5, 2015 by Avia
Collinder, The Jamaica Gleaner.
We'll
know when we see upgrades on the Supreme Venture Limited app that'll allow
Smartphone users to both place bets via their smartphones as well as receive
their winnings from the comfort of their own home.
