Arkadium's Factive

Arkadium enables easier sports betting in deal with Sportradar

Arkadium has teamed up with Sportradar to make it easy to bet on sports trivia questions in an attempt to make web-based content more interactive and engaging for fans.

Arkadium (which morphed from a casual game company) has created a kind of widget, dubbed a factive, that can be embedded in a story on a web site. It will present a question to sports fans, like the one above where it asks which soccer player has scored the most goals this season. The fan simply clicks on the name of the player and then the colored bars extend in an animation, showing you that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored the most.
