Text Betting
"Text betting is the quickest way to get a bet on with William Hill", Jamie Hart, Sportsbook Director, William Hill Online.
All the punter needs to do is simply write their betting slip in a mobile text message and send it to the bookmaker's text betting number. Onionsack receive this message, understand it based on live market data and place the bet on the punter's account within the bookmaker's system. Onionsack issue a receipt and even a win notice should the bet win.
Text betting is perfect for your existing punters and an ideal channel for new territories. Whilst mobile applications are growing in popularity with punters, text is accessible to every punter, even when signal strength is weak. Text does not require downloads or 3G connections.

Security
Any bets over a certain limits and all requests to deposit funds from a payment card will need to pass a security check. This check involves an automated phone call to the punter where they are asked to enter details of either their payment card or personal information to verify the transaction.

Additionally arrangements must be made for inbound text numbers to cover the required territories for your new service channel.
