Project Overview

Premier Picks is a comprehensive mobile application that transforms the football viewing experience into an interactive competition. Users predict match outcomes in the English Premier League, compete against friends and global players, and have opportunities to win cash prizes—all within a polished, community-driven platform.

Client Background

Premier Picks was envisioned as a free-to-play alternative to traditional sports betting, focusing on prediction skills and community engagement rather than gambling. The client sought to create a platform that would appeal to casual football fans and dedicated followers alike, offering various competition formats to suit different engagement levels.

Challenges

Developing a competitive prediction platform required solving multiple complex challenges. We needed to create multiple game modes with distinct rules and scoring systems, build real-time data integration for live match updates and statistics, implement robust social features including chat, contacts, and group management, ensure cross-platform consistency between iOS and Android, design a scalable architecture handling concurrent users during peak match times, and integrate secure payment processing for prize distributions.

Implement four distinct game modes: Rollover, Knockout, Prediction, and Both Teams To Score
Create comprehensive social features including private and group chat
Integrate live match data, lineups, statistics, and head-to-head histories
