Valve’s Dota Pro Circuit app is available across App stores on all platforms, including Google Play. The app has the intention of being more than just a place to mindlessly place bets, with features allowing spectators to learn more about the game, the players and make better predictions on results. An additional feature is Fantasy Sports, allowing you to build a dream team and compete head to head in community leagues and between friends.

The action was due to begin on the 25th of February, but yet another last minute change was made – with the tax being taken on the customer deposits, rather than the operator’s turnover. The change is sure to put a smile back on operator’s faces, but for the players - their deposits will not last quite as long as they remembered

The newest feature to be introduced is Instagram Checkout – allowing customers to buy things, without leaving the app. In the past, customers would need to click on a link to go to an external website to complete a purchase – however in the latest release, purchases can be made without leaving Instagram
According to Instagram, brands will be able to make products shoppable via posts on the feed, in Stories and in the general shopping area of the Explore section. Customer information will be stored within the app, so after the first purchase has been made – customers will be able to make purchases with just a couple of taps. An order history will be available within the app and will notify via push notifications on updates for recent orders and delivery date updates.
The Checkout feature will first go through a testing period, restricted to the US and with just 23 brands taking the first step in this new era of online shopping. The list of companies include Nike, Adidas, MAC and Burberry.
This is a revolutionary change for Instagram and could introduce the next stage in influencer marketing, while removing a lot of common issues with converting customers like cart abandonment and a lack of deep linking to specific products.
