Problem Statement
Problem Statement
Traditionally, placing a bet required users to navigate away from the main sportsbook view to access the bet slip, which could disrupt the user’s flow. This separation of the sportsbook and bet slip added extra steps, particularly frustrating for mobile users, who often switch between screens or lose their place while browsing. We needed a solution that:
Simplified the single-bet placement process.
Allowed users to continue browsing sportsbook markets without interruption.
Enhanced user satisfaction by focusing on convenience and speed.
