Play-by-Play Social Sports App JetBet Kicks off Just in Time for the Holiday Football FeastJetBet, a developer of play-by-play second screen experiences, today announced the launch of its free-to-play social sports website and app to enhance watching live sports. JetBet is a 'lean in' experience that allows sports fans play along with the game via smartphones, tablets or on a browser, making live sports more engaging and fun. Unlike fantasy football tournaments or apps, JetBet enables fans to play along with actual live sporting events as the action happens, demonstrating their knowledge of the team by predicting every play, possession or full game result. Players can predict plays, yardage gained, penalties, turnovers, and more in a dynamic experience powered by JetBet's world-class sports analytics. JetBet is intuitive enough for players of all skill levels to earn bragging rights, though true fans more knowledgeable about their players, teams, and the game will have an advantage. There's even a chat feature to taunt your opponents. "People are really passionate about their sports and favorite teams," said Louis Castle, CEO of JetBet. "We make it easy and fun to share that passion, whether it's playing along with friends on the couch or in our online tournaments with other fans." JetBet currently includes NFL games, with plans to expand into additional sports in the future. For more information or to join a tournament, please visit https://game.jetbet.com/ on your computer, tablet or phone. <> About JetBetJetBet uses state-of-the-art technology benefiting from decades of successful sports analytics to deliver an authentic, competitive live sports enhancing experience, which it also white labels for strategic partners and leading brands into a multi-tenant pool of players for a richer experience. Founded in 2014 by video game and casino gaming veteran Louis Castle (former CSO of ShuffleMaster; co-founder of Westwood Studios), JetBet is a privately-held company based in Las Vegas, Nevada.
