Global Interactive Gaming Ltd. (GIG) the wholly owned subsidiary of Interactive Systems Worldwide Inc. (ISWI) has launched 'totalbet live' in conjunction with digital wagering operator, ukbetting Plc.

'totalbet live' incorporates ISWI's patented, real-time SportXction software system into ukbetting's online sports wagering service. This allows a player to make play-by-play wagers on a sporting event whilst it is still in progress using actual currency in jurisdictions where it is legally permitted.

Live field trials were available to ukbetting customers in the UK using "play" money and following the success of a trial using real money during a soccer match between Scotland and Portugal on Wednesday 20 November the service is now available to invited customers.

Presently only invited customers can use this new service to allow for fine tuning. It is hoped that the service will be available to everyone by early December.
