Powering a Weekly Prize Pool App for Football Fans

Meet the Client

uMAXit is designed for sporting enthusiasts and novices alike who believe that a bit of competition makes sports that little bit more enjoyable! The app allows users to make 5 predictions based on who might win upcoming football matches. Each week they are entered into a competition with thousands of pounds of prizes up for grabs.

Aiming to sit at the heart of users Saturday afternoons and make the game fun, frictionless and accessible to all, uMAXit approached Sonin to help bring their vision to life across iOS, Android and web. What began as a prediction game quickly became a growing community of football fans sharing opinions, forming leagues and climbing the leaderboard.

Key Features

High Traffic Capacity – With user predictions due before Saturday kick offs, the platform enjoys large spikes of traffic and performance is vital when prizes and league positions are up for grabs!

Social Gaming – Friends create and compete in private mini leagues with their own bragging rights.

Fraud Detection – With thousands of pounds up for grabs, the platform needed robust fraud protection to protect against organised hacking attempts.

Real Time Match Data – To help the game sit at the heart of Saturdays, users can track performance in real time as the matches unfold.

Content Hub Integration – Users can consume original football content directly within the platform.
