Intelligent Betting Software: Engineering Real-Time Wagering

The Challenge

IBS needed a modern white-label frontend serving multiple operators. Live in-play betting requires odds updates multiple times per second across thousands of markets with zero perceived delay. Stale odds = regulatory violations and financial losses.

Our Approach

WebSocket Architecture

1. Connection Layer — Auto-reconnection, heartbeat monitoring, polling fallback
2. Subscription Layer — Dynamic market subscriptions minimizing bandwidth
3. State Synchronization — Delta sync on reconnection, imperceptible to users
4. Optimistic Updates — Instant UI updates with background validation

White-Label Theming

Complete customization via JSON config — layouts, features, currencies, languages, RTL support. New operator deployment in 2 days.

Bet Slip Engine

Singles, accumulators, system bets (Trixie, Yankee), odds format switching, real-time cash out, price change indicators, and comprehensive validation.

Responsible Gambling

Self-exclusion, deposit limits, session timers, reality checks, and national register integration built into the core.

Performance

• 180KB initial load (code-split)
• Binary protocol: 60% less bandwidth than JSON
• Virtualized lists for 1000+ selection markets
