<p><strong><em>Friendly bragging-rights game expands to smartphones, allowing players to make picks and check standings from anywhere.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>BOCA RATON, Fla. – <a title="MobilityWire social media newswire" href="http://www.mobilitywire.com">MobilityWire</a><sup>®</sup> &#8211; </strong>December 15, 2011</p>
<p>OHK Labs announces the release of SportsPicker Mobile today, an iPhone app that adds the full functionality of the Facebook version to users of Apple’s iPhone. Players can now make picks from virtually anywhere, making gameplay more convenient and increasing the level of competition.</p>
<p><span id="more-4482"></span></p>
<p>A significantly different concept from fantasy sports and online sports betting, SportsPicker takes the best of both—including social competition and odds-based selections—to create an entirely new and exciting way to enjoy sports. Users simply make their picks for each game, then check their standings against their Facebook friends who are also playing. Points are rewarded on a seven-point scale, with the underdog valued at up to six points and the favorite as low as one point. This enables a weighted odds system which rewards underdog picks. Additionally, SportsPicker is free (ad-supported), so there is no barrier to entry for players and their friends.</p>
<p>SportsPicker Mobile boasts a simple one-tap interface for making picks. All upcoming games for an individual sport are listed on one screen, making it easy to quickly scroll through and make picks.</p>
<p>“SportsPicker has been a great success for us,” said Oren Kantor, OHK Labs CEO. “The mobile app really expands the playability of SportPicker, and we hope it allows more people to play competitively.”</p>
<p>SportsPicker and SportsPicker Mobile can be found at <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sportspickerapp.com/mobile">http://www.sportspickerapp.com/mobile</a>. There is no charge to play, and anyone with a Facebook account can get started immediately.</p>
<p>Key features of SportsPicker include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Innovative points-based system rewards players for picking underdogs over favorites</li>
<li>Support for nearly all popular professional and collegiate sports, including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball</li>
<li>Built on the Facebook platform, SportsPicker keeps track of a player&#8217;s point totals and automatically builds a leader board to compare friends&#8217; point totals</li>
<li>A simple one-click method for choosing a winner of each individual game. Players can select picks for every available game in a matter of seconds</li>
<li>Free, ad-based revenue model means that users can play at no charge, increasing the size of a player&#8217;s competition pool</li>
<li>SportsPicker&#8217;s safe, non-wagering system, provides a risk-free method of picking the winners of sporting events</li>
<li>SportsPicker allows people to pick teams to win, an important distinction from traditional fantasy games, which center around individual players</li>
<li>Push notifications remind the player when games are about to start, making it easier to remember to make picks</li>
</ul>
<p>“I’m not always in front of my computer, especially on game days,” adds Kantor.  “SportsPicker Mobile will vastly increase my accuracy, making it easier to crush my friends.”</p>

<p>OHK Labs announces that the everyday actions taken by players of the unique SportsPicker game will earn money for the Special Olympics. Donations will be made every time a player makes a pick, invites their friends, or brags about their success on their individual Facebook page.</p>
<p>“We&#8217;ve always admired the work that the Special Olmpics does in promoting sports for everyone,” said Oren Kantor, OHK Labs CEO. “The idea of donating to their cause came naturally to us, and we&#8217;re pleased with the system we&#8217;ve created for helping our players generate donations.”</p>
<p>Donations will accrue based on a simple tiered approach. Each time a player picks a sports team to win, OHK Labs will donate $0.01. Each time a player invites a Facebook friend to play, OHK Labs will donate $0.10. Finally, each time a player brags to Facebook friends from within the SportsPicker app, OHK Labs will donate $1.00.</p>

<li>Innovative points-based system rewards players for picking underdogs over favorites</li>
<li>Support for nearly all popular professional and collegiate sports, including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball</li>
<li>Built on the Facebook platform, SportsPicker keeps track of a player&#8217;s point totals and automatically builds a leader board to compare friends&#8217; point totals</li>
<li>A simple one-click method for choosing a winner of each individual game. Players can select picks for every available game in a matter of seconds</li>
<li>Free, ad-based revenue model means that users can play at no charge, increasing the size of a player&#8217;s competition pool</li>
<li>SportsPicker&#8217;s safe, non-wagering system, provides a risk-free method of picking the winners of sporting events</li>
<li>SportsPicker allows people to pick teams to win, an important distinction from traditional fantasy games, which center around individual players</li>
</ul>
<p>“With the proliferation of fantasy sports and online wagering, we thought it would be great to take the best of both systems and roll them into one fun, safe, engaging game,” adds Kantor.  “We think we have a real winner in SportsPicker, and we&#8217;re very excited to be able to offer it to players free of charge.”</p>
<p>SportsPicker is the only game of its kind available on the Facebook platform, currently estimated to contain over 750 million subscribers worldwide. While the sports available are currently North America-centric, plans are already underway to add international sports.</p>
