Flip Sports is out to offer innovation in the mobile fantasy sports game market. In doing so, it hopes to cash in on the global growth of the fantasy sports market as the revenue in the industry shifts to mobile and tablet platforms.
Flip Sports
The London-based game startup launched its first social sports mobile app — a soccer game — on a global basis on iOS and Android this month with the goal of providing a social and competitive environment for fantasy football fans who love watching live games. With real-time play, Flip Sports gives players a chance to experience the thrill — and despair — of real-life football team management. The idea is to give a sports fan more to do than just watch a game passively.
