Betting and live entertainment: how to unite this duo?

The sports betting market is increasingly focusing on live events in order to further engage the bettor. But how to do it in the best way? André Vinícius de Alencar Alves, partner at Control F5, describes in an exclusive article for GMB the importance of low latency in transmissions, real-time chat availability, promotions and other tools to improve the user experience.

If you have a betting operation, you know that everyone is constantly looking for technical innovations to improve their users' experience. A strong trend, in this context, is the integration of live entertainment technologies during sporting events.

Therefore, it is very important to offer experiences in real time so that the public finds important differentials in your platform. So let's talk about some strategies that have been quite successful in the segment.

High-performance live streaming implementation

A key approach is the implementation of high quality live streaming systems. This requires a robust infrastructure that supports the transmission of sporting events with impeccable video and audio quality. It's also very important to ensure scalability to handle traffic spikes during the most popular events.

Be sure to provide cross-device compatible streaming options to meet the needs of all users.

Real-time data API integration

To further enrich the customer experience, it is important to integrate data APIs that provide up-to-date statistics during the event. It is important to collect, analyze and present data such as player statistics, match history and contextual information such as the absence of athletes in matches due to injuries and many others.

Investment in a low latency platform

The option to place live bets during games is a very interesting way to keep bettors engaged. This allows them to adjust their bets as the game unfolds, making every moment of the match even more exciting.

It's important to ensure your platform is robust and easy to use. This requires an agile technical architecture that minimizes transaction latency.

Creating dynamic promotions

Special promotions during sporting events must be implemented with complex business logic. The ability to run dynamic promotions requires very flexible technical systems. This is because calculations can be made of improved odds in real time, monitoring of free bets, exclusive promotions based on certain events, etc. This type of action really engages the bettor and creates a very interesting difference for the site.

Real-time communication systems

Real-time communication systems such as live chats and push notifications are essential to keep punters connected. Furthermore, allowing players to communicate with each other can be facilitated through chats and real-time message management systems. All sorts of live interaction has been highly valued by today's punter.

Data-driven personalization and recommendation

Personalizing user experience can be achieved through data-driven recommendations. This requires analyzing behavioral information to provide customized recommendations, such as alerts for specific events, sports preferences and personalization of the client interface.

At the end of the day, we can see that investing in a platform that offers high-quality features for real-time experiences is worth it. Of course, the investment will be higher, however, the returns can be quite significant. Did you like the topic? So please contact me .
