Game winners receive epic experiences and prizes. This will now include free rides with Uber.
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.”
As part of the partnership, Uber, will provide game prizes including vouchers to ride in their very best cars.
The app launches in Asia in February 2017 covering all EPL fixtures. Other major leagues will be added in 2017 including La Liga Santander, Serie A, CSL and A League.
