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
- Connection Layer — Auto-reconnection, heartbeat monitoring, polling fallback
- Subscription Layer — Dynamic market subscriptions minimizing bandwidth
- State Synchronization — Delta sync on reconnection, imperceptible to users
- 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
