WinView, a US-based company that focuses on synchronized two-screen television, has secured $1.2 million (€1.1 million) in second round venture investment.

The funds raised will be used to finance the development and launch of its real-time mobile sports application with live television, in time for the 2015 football season.

WinView games will allow fans to play skill-based, in-game competitions during live television sports events and win cash rewards and prizes.

The company said that its new app will offer a similar experience to live in-play betting and will targets sports fans across a range of interest levels.
