Microservices Architecture

The Approach:

Back-end decomposition into discrete services using Java and Spring Boot to isolate business domains:

• Odds Ingestion Service - Real-time feed processing from multiple bookmakers
• Payout Calculation Service - Complex betting calculations and optimization
• User Account Management - Centralized identity and KYC
• Wallet Service - Multi-currency fund management
• Bet Placement Service - Order routing to appropriate providers
• Risk Management Service - Fraud detection and compliance

Frontend Built with React.js

Implementation:

Highly responsive and dynamic UI components allowed real-time odds displays, comparison tables, and interactive betting flows that adjusted seamlessly to both desktop and mobile browsers.

Key Features:

• Real-time odds updates via WebSocket
• Responsive design for all devices
• Interactive bet slip with live calculations
• Advanced filtering and sorting
• Multi-provider comparison views

React Component Example:

// Real-time odds comparison component
interface OddsComparisonProps {
  eventId: string;
  marketType: MarketType;
}

const OddsComparison: React.FC<OddsComparisonProps> = ({ eventId, marketType }) => {
  const [odds, setOdds] = useState<AggregatedOdds | null>(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);
  const wsRef = useRef<WebSocket | null>(null);
  
  // Establish WebSocket connection for real-time updates
  useEffect(() => {
    const ws = new WebSocket(`wss://api.betting.com/odds/${eventId}`);
    
    ws.onmessage = (event) => {
      const updatedOdds = JSON.parse(event.data);
      setOdds(updatedOdds);
      setLoading(false);
    };
    
    ws.onerror = (error) => {
      console.error('WebSocket error:', error);
      // Fallback to polling
      startPolling();
    };
    
    wsRef.current = ws;
    
    return () => {
      ws.close();
    };
  }, [eventId]);
  
  if (loading) return <LoadingSpinner />;

Real-Time Odds & Offer Comparison

Multiple Bookmaker Feed Integration

The Challenge:

Integrated multiple bookmaker feeds into a normalized data layer that updates odds with minimal latency.

Technical Implementation:

@Service
public class OddsFeedService {
    
    @Autowired
    private KafkaTemplate<String, OddsUpdate> kafkaTemplate;
    
    @Autowired
    private RedisTemplate<String, AggregatedOdds> redisTemplate;
    
    /**
     * Process incoming odds feed from bookmaker
     * Asynchronous processing to avoid blocking
     */
    @Async
    public void processOddsFeed(String providerId, OddsFeed feed) {
        try {
            // Normalize odds format across providers
            List<OddsUpdate> updates = feed.getEvents().stream()
                .map(event -> normalizeOdds(providerId, event))
                .collect(Collectors.toList());
            
            // Publish to Kafka for distributed processing
            updates.forEach(update -> 
                kafkaTemplate.send("odds-updates", update.getEventId(), update)
            );
            
            // Update Redis cache for fast retrieval
            updates.forEach(update -> {
                String key = String.format("odds:%s", update.getEventId());
                redisTemplate.opsForValue().set(key, update, Duration.ofSeconds(30));
            });
            
            logger.info("Processed {} odds updates from {}", 
                updates.size(), providerId);
                
        } catch (Exception e) {
            logger.error("Failed to process odds feed from {}: {}", 
                providerId, e.getMessage());
            // Circuit breaker - alert operations team
            alertService.sendAlert(AlertLevel.HIGH, 
                "Odds feed failure", providerId);
        }
    }
    
    /**
     * Normalize odds from different provider formats
     */
    private OddsUpdate normalizeOdds(String providerId, ProviderEvent event) {
        return OddsUpdate.builder()
            .eventId(event.getId())
            .provider(providerId)
            .sport(event.getSport())
            .timestamp(Instant.now())
            .markets(event.getMarkets().stream()
                .map(market -> normalizeMarket(market))
                .collect(Collectors.toList()))
            .build();
    }
}

/**
 * Kafka consumer for aggregating odds updates
 */
@Component
public class OddsAggregationConsumer {
    
    @KafkaListener(topics = "odds-updates", groupId = "odds-aggregator")
    public void consumeOddsUpdate(ConsumerRecord<String, OddsUpdate> record) {
        OddsUpdate update = record.value();
        
        // Aggregate with existing odds from other providers
        AggregatedOdds aggregated = aggregateWithExisting(update);
        
        // Broadcast to connected WebSocket clients
        webSocketService.broadcastOddsUpdate(update.getEventId(), aggregated);
        
        // Store in database for historical analysis
        oddsRepository.save(update);
    }
}

Intelligent Offer Matching

The Solution:

Built intelligent matching and scoring logic to present the best available offers across providers, improving player decision velocity.

Scoring Algorithm:

@Service
public class OfferScoringService {
    
    /**
     * Score and rank offers across multiple dimensions
     */
    public List<ScoredOffer> scoreOffers(
        String eventId, 
        String userId,
        MarketType marketType
    ) {
        // Get all available offers
        List<Offer> offers = offerRepository.findByEventAndMarket(eventId, marketType);
        
        // Get user preferences and betting history
        UserProfile profile = userService.getProfile(userId);
        
        // Score each offer
        List<ScoredOffer> scoredOffers = offers.stream()
            .map(offer -> {
                double score = calculateOfferScore(offer, profile);
                return new ScoredOffer(offer, score);
            })
            .sorted(Comparator.comparing(ScoredOffer::getScore).reversed())
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
        
        return scoredOffers;
    }
    
    /**
     * Multi-dimensional scoring algorithm
     */
    private double calculateOfferScore(Offer offer, UserProfile profile) {
        double score = 0.0;
        
        // Factor 1: Odds value (40% weight)
        score += normalizeOdds(offer.getOdds()) * 0.40;
        
        // Factor 2: Provider reliability (20% weight)
        score += getProviderReliabilityScore(offer.getProvider()) * 0.20;
        
        // Factor 3: Liquidity / max stake (15% weight)
        score += normalizeLiquidity(offer.getMaxStake()) * 0.15;
        
        // Factor 4: User preference for provider (15% weight)
        score += profile.getProviderPreference(offer.getProvider()) * 0.15;
        
        // Factor 5: Payment speed (10% weight)
        score += getProviderPaymentSpeed(offer.getProvider()) * 0.10;
        
        return score;
    }
}

Benefits:

• Players see the best value bets instantly
• Personalized recommendations based on history
• Increased conversion rates
• Improved user satisfaction

One-Click Onboarding & Seamless Sponsor Registration

Deep Provider API Integration

The Solution:

Deep integrations with partner operator APIs made it possible to register or withdraw funds in two clicks — without redirecting users out of the app.

Registration Flow:

// One-click registration with partner bookmaker
async function registerWithProvider(
  userId: string,
  providerId: string
): Promise<ProviderAccount> {
  
  // Get user KYC data from central database
  const user = await userService.getUser(userId);
  const kycData = await kycService.getVerifiedKyc(userId);
  
  if (!kycData.isVerified) {
    throw new Error('KYC verification required');
  }
  
  // Map to provider-specific format
  const providerRequest = mapToProviderFormat(user, kycData, providerId);
  
  // Call provider API to create account
  const providerClient = getProviderClient(providerId);
  const providerAccount = await providerClient.createAccount(providerRequest);
  
  // Store provider account mapping
  await accountMappingService.create({
    userId,
    providerId,
    providerAccountId: providerAccount.id,
    credentials: encryptCredentials(providerAccount.credentials),
    status: 'active',
    createdAt: new Date()
  });
  
  // Initialize wallet for this provider
  await walletService.createProviderWallet(userId, providerId);
  
  return providerAccount;
}

// Seamless fund deposit to provider
async function depositToProvider(
  userId: string,
  providerId: string,
  amount: number
): Promise<Transaction> {
  
  // Check user's central wallet balance
  const wallet = await walletService.getUserWallet(userId);
  
  if (wallet.balance < amount) {
    throw new InsufficientFundsError();
  }
  
  // Get provider account credentials
  const mapping = await accountMappingService.get(userId, providerId);
  const credentials = decryptCredentials(mapping.credentials);
  
  // Transfer funds to provider
  const providerClient = getProviderClient(providerId);
  const transaction = await providerClient.deposit({
    accountId: mapping.providerAccountId,
    amount,
    currency: 'EUR',
    credentials
  });
  
  // Update central wallet
  await walletService.deduct(userId, amount, {
    type: 'provider_transfer',
    providerId,
    transactionId: transaction.id
  });
  
  return transaction;
}

User Wallet Abstraction

Implementation:

User wallet abstraction and tokenized session handling maintained secure context across provider boundaries.

Wallet Architecture:

// Unified wallet service
class WalletService {
  /**
   * Get unified wallet view across all providers
   */
  async getUnifiedWallet(userId: string): Promise<UnifiedWallet> {
    // Get central wallet balance
    const centralWallet = await this.getCentralWallet(userId);
    
    // Get balances from all connected providers
    const providerMappings = await accountMappingService.getAll(userId);
    
    const providerBalances = await Promise.all(
      providerMappings.map(async (mapping) => {
        const client = getProviderClient(mapping.providerId);
        const balance = await client.getBalance(mapping.providerAccountId);
        
        return {
          provider: mapping.providerId,
          balance: balance.amount,
          currency: balance.currency,
          lastUpdated: new Date()
        };
      })
    );
    
    return {
      centralBalance: centralWallet.balance,
      providerBalances,
      totalBalance: this.calculateTotal(centralWallet, providerBalances)
    };
  }
  
  /**
   * Seamless withdrawal from provider to central wallet
   */
  async withdrawFromProvider(
    userId: string,
    providerId: string,
    amount: number
  ): Promise<Transaction> {
    const mapping = await accountMappingService.get(userId, providerId);
    const credentials = decryptCredentials(mapping.credentials);
    
    // Request withdrawal from provider
    const providerClient = getProviderClient(providerId);
    const withdrawal = await providerClient.withdraw({
      accountId: mapping.providerAccountId,
      amount,
      credentials
    });
    
    // Credit central wallet
    await this.credit(userId, amount, {
      type: 'provider_withdrawal',
      providerId,
      transactionId: withdrawal.id
    });
    
    return withdrawal;
  }
}

Payout & Risk Management

Custom Payout Engines

Implementation:

Custom payout engines computed maximum theoretical payouts per bet using normalized odds.

@Service
public class PayoutCalculationService {
    
    /**
     * Calculate optimal payout for single bet
     */
    public PayoutCalculation calculateSingleBet(
        Selection selection,
        double stake
    ) {
        double potentialReturn = stake * selection.getOdds();
        double potentialProfit = potentialReturn - stake;
        
        return PayoutCalculation.builder()
            .stake(stake)
            .odds(selection.getOdds())
            .potentialReturn(potentialReturn)
            .potentialProfit(potentialProfit)
            .build();
    }
    
    /**
     * Calculate optimal payout for accumulator bet
     */
    public PayoutCalculation calculateAccumulator(
        List<Selection> selections,
        double stake
    ) {
        // Calculate combined odds
        double combinedOdds = selections.stream()
            .map(Selection::getOdds)
            .reduce(1.0, (a, b) -> a * b);
        
        double potentialReturn = stake * combinedOdds;
        double potentialProfit = potentialReturn - stake;
        
        return PayoutCalculation.builder()
            .stake(stake)
            .odds(combinedOdds)
            .potentialReturn(potentialReturn)
            .potentialProfit(potentialProfit)
            .numberOfSelections(selections.size())
            .build();
    }
    
    /**
     * Calculate expected value across multiple providers
     */
    public ExpectedValue calculateExpectedValue(
        String eventId,
        Selection userSelection,
        double stake
    ) {
        // Get all available odds for this selection
        List<OddsOption> allOdds = oddsService.getAllOddsForSelection(
            eventId, 
            userSelection.getId()
        );
        
        // Find best odds
        OddsOption bestOdds = allOdds.stream()
            .max(Comparator.comparing(OddsOption::getOdds))
            .orElse(null);
        
        // Calculate difference in potential profit
        double currentProfit = (stake * userSelection.getOdds()) - stake;
        double bestProfit = (stake * bestOdds.getOdds()) - stake;
        double valueDifference = bestProfit - currentProfit;
        
        return ExpectedValue.builder()
            .currentProvider(userSelection.getProvider())
            .currentOdds(userSelection.getOdds())
            .bestProvider(bestOdds.getProvider())
            .bestOdds(bestOdds.getOdds())
            .potentialExtraProfit(valueDifference)
            .recommendation(valueDifference > 5.0 ? "Consider switching provider" : "Good value")
            .build();
    }
}

Fraud Detection & Compliance

Implementation:

Built-in fraud detection, pattern analysis, and KYC verification layers aligned with regulatory compliance standards.

@Service
public class RiskManagementService {
    
    @Autowired
    private MachineLearningService mlService;
    
    /**
     * Assess risk for bet placement
     */
    public RiskAssessment assessBet(Bet bet, UserProfile user) {
        double riskScore = 0.0;
        List<RiskFlag> flags = new ArrayList<>();
        
        // Check 1: Unusual stake size
        if (bet.getStake() > user.getAverageStake() * 5) {
            riskScore += 20;
            flags.add(RiskFlag.UNUSUAL_STAKE);
        }
        
        // Check 2: Rapid bet placement pattern
        List<Bet> recentBets = betRepository.findByUserIdAndTimestamp(
            user.getId(), 
            Instant.now().minus(5, ChronoUnit.MINUTES)
        );
        if (recentBets.size() > 10) {
            riskScore += 15;
            flags.add(RiskFlag.RAPID_BETTING);
        }
        
        // Check 3: Arbitrage detection
        if (detectArbitrage(bet)) {
            riskScore += 30;
            flags.add(RiskFlag.POSSIBLE_ARBITRAGE);
        }
        
        // Check 4: ML-based fraud detection
        double mlScore = mlService.predictFraudProbability(bet, user);
        riskScore += mlScore * 35;
        
        // Determine action
        RiskAction action = determineAction(riskScore);
        
        return RiskAssessment.builder()
            .riskScore(riskScore)
            .flags(flags)
            .action(action)
            .build();
    }
    
    private RiskAction determineAction(double riskScore) {
        if (riskScore > 70) return RiskAction.BLOCK;
        if (riskScore > 40) return RiskAction.REVIEW;
        return RiskAction.APPROVE;
    }
}

Multi-lingual, Globalized Platform

Internationalization Support

Implementation:

Internationalization support enabled language switching and region-specific content delivery.

Features:

• Multiple language support (EN, NL, FR, DE, ES)
• Currency localization (EUR, GBP, USD)
• Region-specific betting regulations
• Localized odds formats (decimal, fractional, American)
• Timezone-aware event scheduling

// i18n configuration
const i18nConfig = {
  locales: ['en', 'nl', 'fr', 'de', 'es'],
  defaultLocale: 'en',
  localeDetection: true,
  
  // Currency formatting per locale
  currencies: {
    'en': 'EUR',
    'nl': 'EUR',
    'fr': 'EUR',
    'de': 'EUR',
    'es': 'EUR'
  },
  
  // Odds format preferences
  oddsFormats: {
    'en': 'decimal',
    'nl': 'decimal',
    'fr': 'decimal',
    'de': 'decimal',
    'es': 'decimal'
  }
};

// Dynamic content localization
const OddsDisplay: React.FC<{ odds: number }> = ({ odds }) => {
  const { locale } = useRouter();
  const oddsFormat = i18nConfig.oddsFormats[locale];
  
  const displayOdds = formatOdds(odds, oddsFormat);
  
  return <span className="odds-value">{displayOdds}</span>;
};

Performance & Stability Enhancements

Asynchronous Processing

Implementation:

Asynchronous processing pipelines ensured high-throughput ingestion of bookmaker feeds without blocking UI threads.

Key Optimizations:

• Non-blocking I/O for API calls
• Parallel processing of multiple feeds
• Message queue for decoupled processing
• Background jobs for heavy computations

Resilient Backend Logic

Implementation:

Resilient back-end logic incorporated circuit breakers and retries to handle API latency from third-party operators.

@Service
public class ResilientBookmakerClient {
    
    @CircuitBreaker(name = "bookmaker-api", fallbackMethod = "fallbackGetOdds")
    @Retry(name = "bookmaker-api", fallbackMethod = "fallbackGetOdds")
    @TimeLimiter(name = "bookmaker-api")
    public CompletableFuture<OddsResponse> getOdds(String providerId, String eventId) {
        BookmakerApiClient client = getProviderClient(providerId);
        return CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> client.getOdds(eventId));
    }
    
    private CompletableFuture<OddsResponse> fallbackGetOdds(
        String providerId, 
        String eventId, 
        Exception e
    ) {
        logger.warn("Fallback for provider {}: {}", providerId, e.getMessage());
        
        // Return cached odds if available
        OddsResponse cached = cacheManager.get(eventId, providerId);
        if (cached != null) {
            return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(cached);
        }
        
        // Return empty response if no cache
        return CompletableFuture.completedFuture(OddsResponse.empty());
    }
}

Optimized Caching

Implementation:

Caching and optimized database access patterns reduced latency for high-frequency queries, such as odds refresh and offer ranking.

Caching Strategy:

• Redis for real-time odds (5-30 second TTL)
• In-memory cache for user sessions
• CDN for static assets
• Database query optimization with indexes
