Live Fantasy Sport App Ballr and Uber Announce Indonesia Partnership in a New Era of Fan Engagement

Singapore, Oct 25, 2016 AEST (ABN Newswire) - Mobile fan engagement technology company Ballr have announced a partnership with Uber in Indonesia, in the category of Live Fantasy Sport.

Headquartered in Singapore, Ballr was founded by Sam Jones in 2015. The free gaming platform allows fans to connect, compete and communicate during real-time sporting events.

During a live football match, Ballr captures real-time data related to thousands of micro moments, such as a pass, tackle, shot, foul, assist, goal. Ballr converts each discreet event into a points value. This forms the basis of a video game people can play on their smartphone against millions of other fans in real time. Game winners receive epic experiences and prizes.

These prizes now include free rides in the very best Uber vehicles.

Sam Jones, Ballr Founder and CEO commented, "We are thrilled to be announcing this partnership with Uber, the ultimate consumer app. Indonesia is a major focus for us, where smartphone penetration is exploding and football is the national sport. People here really know the game. Clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United have been household names here for decades.

"Our company mission is to connect the world through live sport, delivering a new level of fan engagement through technology. The world gets a little bit smaller with partners like Uber, with such a massive user base across Asia. I think our players will be delighted to have the chance to win free Uber rides from playing our live fantasy sport app".

As part of the partnership, Uber, will provide game prizes including vouchers to ride in their very best cars.

Ballr launches in November 2016, covering the English Premier League. The app is free to play and involves no monetary reward.
