MediaTroopers releases a free-to-play Parlay app for US sports fans
MediaTroopers has announced this week the release of its Pick Parlay free to play mobile app. The rollout of the Pick Parlay app is another step in the planned expansion of the company’s array of channels through which it offers news, education and engagement with those interested in sports and legal US sports betting. Pick Parlay is a fun, easy to use, free app aimed at casual sports fans and punters.
The app’s main attraction are free weekly parlay bets, whereas app users pick the favourite teams to win in major US sports leagues and competitions. Several weekly prizes of $100,000 will be paid out to app users who predict correctly winners in the NFL, NBA, MLB and other American sports leagues. Beside weekly prizes worth $100,000s Pick Parlay app users have chances to win gifts, game tickets, vouchers, coupons and betting promotions.
Pick Parlay is a 100% free to play app that doesn’t require any subscriptions and in-app purchases. In addition to great prizes, it offers the latest news, predictions, odds and tips for major US and world sports. The app is available for iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from both Apple App store and Google-play.
Sam Segal, CEO of MediaTroopers said: “The reaction we received to legal sports betting from our American audiences has been incredible. We are excited to add another fun and accessible channel that will allow us to engage with the sports betting community in the country. We developed Pick Parlay to offer users a new, innovative way to learn about legal sports betting, find the best offers and have a great time with the chance of winning cool prizes.”
When asked whether Pick Parlay is a gambling app, Segal replied: “MediaTroopers is a licensed service provider that offers marketing services to regulated Sports betting and iGaming operators. However we are not an operator ourselves. The Pick Parlay app does not offer any form of gambling, we offer weekly competitions that are absolutely free to enter, with a chance to win $100,000s every week and more fantastic prizes.”
MediaTroopers is a leading digital marketing agency that specializes in online gaming in regulated US jurisdictions. The company is currently licensed and operates in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana, Tennessee, Illinois, Virginia, Michigan, Iowa and West Virginia.
