1st Red

Little is known about 1st Red. Partrick Ng is the Founder and also owner of Global Dial. He is also a great friend and he has also managed to raise capital from wealthy individuals here in Perth. 1sr red is also in my angel portfolio. What is 1st Red?

"In a nutshell, we offer real time prize draw lotteries over the SMS mobile phone network.

We’re giving Lottery Operators, Charity organisations, Media and marketing companies, telecommunication providers and consumer corporations, the chance to market our mobile gaming under your own branding, or in conjunction with our 1st Red branding. We can provide you with the IP protected software by licence, and you can market the product in a way that suits your business.

...Playing the lottery is as easy as sending an SMS.

1st Red’s Mobile SMS lottery systems integrates seamlessly with the web based lottery system.

What I like about this business idea is it's attempt to deliver new services to the mobile phone. Lottery and mobile gaming can be a potentially big area in Asia, where gambling for fun is as natural as noodle soup, not to mention Asia's love of the mobile phone.
