If you were building a Sportsbook, what API would you suggest integrating?

Would like live betting & props too if there's anything out there that offers this!

This is something only those who own sportsbook, sportsbook directory or anything that relates in monitoring and using sports booking services can only answer. Simple words, business owners as this api probably have charges monthly, fix, or whatever.
I hope you can get a detailed or expected answers.

Yes I'm happy to pay for it. I have found a few solutions online (Betsapi and The-odd-checker) & but I am curious if anyone has a recommendation for something better.

I think to find the API for sports events and bookmakers some praise the iSports API as it covers the full range of sports data in more than 900 different international and national competitions, cups and leagues in all major football federations around the world. There are also free APIs from Betfair, Matchbook and Pinnacle that allow you to provide odds and place bets.

live betting would be cool. but the odds will drastically change while the game is happening. i have not seen like this in crypto but sure this will be fun when you decide to bet before the game start and when you see you are losing you bet again for the other team. the fun part is when the result is draw.

i have no idea actually but this is what you are looking for?

Live betting has exist already in major sports bookies.

Not sure what you are looking for as far as API, but maybe you can check this out: https://www.thesportsdb.com/api.php

I'm not affiliate or anything that relates to me with that site, so just be careful and just everything before using them.

Not many people can answer this one or can give good suggestions but I would also search in Google like what BitcoinGirl.Club and compare it until I found what I was looking for. Live betting did already exist and I also tried it several times but I am not a big fan of live betting. As I have said, it is much better if you compare each site on which API is best to use and what not to use. Just be careful and do check when using it.

If you are building a casino, then you should already know what you want, and what new and old ideas to implement, there is no way a pure gambler will know what API to integrate, I bet some don't even know what API is.
So inline with what the first user who commented said, which i believe some other user have also said, only those who have the technical knowledge of how casinos work can really provide a satisfying answer to queries like this, on the other hand, BitcoinGirl has also reminded of Google, which is a great source of information like this..
And personally, I also think YouTube can be a good source of information like this too.
Good luck and I hope you find the right information you are looking for.

I think what Sportsbet.io is using will be a good one but I don't know if what's the name of it since I'm not that technical to know the details for that. Live betting will be a good addition tbh since people are fan of it these days. Research more and you'll surely find what you want in the end, there are plenty of them to use for.

aside from searching over the net, much better if he can ask one or two reputable bookies and learn about their API providers. however, this step may not be possible as bookies won't be that much welcoming to this kind of question. also, why not check for the reviews out there but of course, it would take time before you can come up which one is the best in the market?
live betting indeed is not a new concept, he can check bookies how they are doing with this feature on their site.

[paxmao]

Well, there are quite a few APIs out there and that is a bit of your own personal tastes and the skills of the team or individual that is going to produce the site and even a question of good marketing integration for search engines. My first instinct when developing a full new model is to go for a very lean development that can deliver a basic product to the marketing at minimal costs.

For bitcoin, find out what Betcoin uses for sportsbooks since they have the most markets pre-match and live. Use Nitrobetting's for horse racing since they are way ahead of the other books with horse racing. There are a lot of crypto casinos so no preference with casinos.

[ralle14]

Sportsbet uses Betradar's API afaik since the other gambling sites are also using the same provider for their sportsbook side and you'd notice the similarities when observing their live scores side by side. Their API is good enough for sports overall but they're subpar on the esports side since you wouldn't see much live score information unlike with other sites like bet365.

[trapcoder666]

The main provider that my clients usually opt for are Betradar's API as it's sorta like a 1 stop solution. There also a lot of other providers out there but since it's live and if you want to prevent in-play hiccups, best to use those whom are already excelling in the market. Bet365 is using their own API if im not mistaken.

[M1cha3lM]

Player Props are a massive thing that I hope all crypto casinos start to look further into.

Some have got player props already however are quite limited in comparison to rival landbased casino sportsbooks.

Also making sure same game parlays are available is another big call, that would be positively received by a wide audience.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Bet365 is using their own API if im not mistaken.

They are huge in the industry and can afford to build their own system. But for a new sportsbook there are no way they can afford it. The amount of human resources the data providers needs, is unimaginable. For new sportsbooks starting with third party API is the best solution. Stake is big but I doubt they still have their own API.

I landed on this website and saw the other list they've made for the gambling APIs and what the article listed is 140 APIs about gambling.

https://www.programmableweb.com/category/gambling/api

So aside from the popular ones, OP will have a lot of choices and can read most of their details from the sources that's attached to that article link.

[Eureka_07]

Live betting is cool as long as it is fairly operated.

I am not familiar of any particular API for online sportsbooks. But maybe you can check the APIs listed here: https://rapidapi.com/collection/gambling-api
I just found that site by searching for APIs.

If you want to get more technical answers, maybe you can ask on Project Development board. Stackoverflow might also help.

Agreed. I am a big fan of player props bets because I won a lot more money from them when compared to traditional market bets like ML, Over/Under etc. Am a big fan of same game parlays too.

The only crypto site that offers a good number of player props along with same game parlays that I observed was Sportsbet.io(Betbuilder).

Anyone remember onehash?
I don't know what you mean by live betting (guessing it's not in play betting), onehash allow pool better between their users.

Yeah. I remember Onehash. It was a mutual pool betting site where players used to pool their money in order to try and win, but the idea failed which makes sense since it was a risky idea which didn't garner a lot of interest.

Also, I think that he did mean inplay betting since live and inplay mean the same thing here.

[Alisha-k]

I came across Bet365 APi but i don't know if it is overhyped because it is presented as one of the best when it comes to getting access to wide range of data, live scores and odds. And has more explorable features that enable betting on wider categories of sports like basket ball, hockey, tennis, volley balls.

Yeah, that's what I did and it's true that someone like OP who wants to get into these APIs would certainly have to put a lot of time in making his research before choosing any of them to have on board if he's got plans to make his own casino.

Anyone remember onehash?

I remember them and saw them in the forum, they're one of the known sports book to have mutual betting and then changed all of their games into casino games but ended up closing.

[yayayo]

If you are going to use your own API, it is really difficult to make your own gambling site at first glance. You would be better off using a ready-made platform. If you do use an API, you should see if you are going to work with a reputable company. There are also sites that scrape APIs from gambling sites like Bet365, I don't think you should want to deal with such companies that way.

ya.ya.yo!

This is will be determined by experience team that knows more about this and how to make sure that what they want gamblers to enjoy will not go astray just like other current existing gambling casinos.
I just like something that is universal with a little restrictions to countries that will not tolerate easily gambling platforms.

The truth is that I don't know what good things a gaming API can do, I've never used it, but honestly, what can improve a sports betting house would be to try to put all the available sports bets, this would include all the soccer leagues and only those of the second division that turn out to be very attractive and good, as in the case of the 2nd Bundesliga that has quite a lot of movement, I would also go and investigate what things people bet more on, depending on the location of the country to attract the market to Those clients who always bet on parlays to transfer them to the crypto world and if I manage to get them to bet here, it really is a job that I consider to be very hard but worth doing.

Instead of asking about the desired API, I think you better ask for all the desires and wishes for a better sportsbook.
You may face a lot of different opinions from many users, which would eventually lead you towards a better idea in terms of requirements for a better sportsbook.

I also think that the most important thing is to ask what things the players want us to tell them they can do, in my case I would like to follow some women's sports games, there are many options that are in the world, women's soccer is a sport that often many are excited, they should do something with that, it would also be great if they could include sports like Volleyball, not all for men, because if there are men who bet, women too, and few men know about women's soccer and with women's vovleiblol, so you can win there, if they can include those sports it would be something different.

IP address is also an important factor for casinos so that some gamblers will not be scared of there funds when they find out that the IP address of the casino is from a region that is not good or have a bad reputation for online gambling. This is why the IP address is of good importance and the government also will not proceed with bigger task for the operating casino.

[plast555]

There are many APIs available for sportsbook integration, but some popular options include:

1. Betfair API - Provides access to a wide range of sports betting markets and features, including live in-play betting, exchange betting, and more.

2. Pinnacle API - Offers a range of sports betting options, including pre-match and in-play betting, and allows for easy integration with various payment gateways.

3. Betdaq API - Offers a comprehensive sports betting platform with a focus on exchange betting and low commission rates.

4. Betgenius API - Provides a range of sports betting options, including live in-play betting and a customizable user interface.

5. Sportradar API - Offers access to a wide range of sports data, including live scores, stats, and odds, as well as pre-match and in-play betting options.

I have a question regarding IP addresses, I live in a residence, where I share the internet with some neighbors, if I urge them to enter the casino, they register with their computer, and they are people who will use the internet that I have , that is considered cheating then? Everyone plays from their phone or from their computer, but do the IP addresses that the casino seek to have be different on the devices or do they have to be from another service provider? where I live I only get one service provider and it would be painful to tell them if I want them to invite them to a casino to pay for their own internet.

I think a legit casino already knows this thing. It will be risky for them to operate a casino if they are from a restricted country because they can be caught out and their website will be shutdown. It's important for us users to check the info of the casino that we want to visit and play. We can use sites like whois to see their ip address.

If this is the only thing that they like, what can you do? We don't know maybe they are done with other things and this is the only thing that boggles them. Once they have chosen an api that suits their needs, that is the time they will deploy their sports betting site and they will create their ann thread in this forum. We can still be able to suggest things there which we think are missing and hopefully they will follow our request. It was also for their own good anyway.

^As we know most active people here are gambling casino users, not gambling casino owners. I don't see any gambling casino owner or developer that actively joins the discussion here in the forum. How many of us here have experience building our own gambling casino?
However, this is only what I heard from one of my friends that runs a gambling casino, he said he used Softwiss integration. Just check this link below.
https://www.softswiss.com/sportsbook-integration/

[talol]

Hello , Most crypto casino use Betby sportsbook like Rollbit , 500casino , bc.game , chips.gg, roobet but there are different websites that use other sportsbook provider like Altenar , Digitain or softswiss new sportsbook you can check them. I have tested most of them and i think ( Betby is the best )

The site can be located in a certain region, serverwise, but the company jurisdiction is more important, they would need to make sure that the country has a positive attitude towards gaming but at the same time is going to enforce the rules that make all this be honest. Else, it does not matter if the servers are in the US or in some region in the Pacific, is about the laws.

Following on from one of my previous messages here, one thing I really like on some sports books is a partial cashout feature - its definitely something to think about in my opinion for new sportsbooks

[paxmao]

Following on from one of my previous messages here, one thing I really like on some sports books is a partial cashout feature - its definitely something to think about in my opinion for new sportsbooks

I would never conceive a sportbook that would not allow a cash-out. It is quite elementary to allow full freedom to the users, as they are going to play on the grounds that eventually they can fully withdraw if they have some serious luck on their betting, or even if the simply get tired of the site and decide to look for alternatives. I think that feature is a given.

[danadc]

I don't have much experience in games and casinos, but one of the things that I would like to see built in a casino is an internal excahgen, it is the most comfortable way for many players to come, but to set rules so that not all they only come for that, the other thing is that they leave bonus things and consrusops with so many things in exchange, without many requirements because it is very difficult to win when they give bonuses in exchange for playing.

That they make an internal forum where they reward for publishing without having to be in signature campaigns, it is a strategy that I really like that they did in some projects.

Oh, these are brilliant ideas from you, and I believe that some companies are now doing that. Though I have not seen much from a casino before, it shouldn't take long before they would start copying other companies. Internal exchange is good, but I would have loved it more in form of P2P. It would deal with more options of the payment system used so that different customers could cross-exchange what they have for what another could offer.

But for the forum, I will not really subscribe to it as it would be restrained and manipulated since they (companies) would be the moderator.

It appears that there may have been a misunderstanding here. From my interpretation of M1cha3lM's post, it seems that he wasn't discussing the process of withdrawing funds from the casino or bookmaker, but rather the option to cash out a bet before the end of the event. This is a common feature offered by many sports betting platforms, and allows bettors to sell their bet back to the bookmaker for a reduced price before the event has ended, rather than waiting for the outcome to be determined.

You can read more about it here:

What Is Cash out Betting?

It is a betting feature that allows gamblers to withdraw their bet before the game ends prematurely. Since the odds fluctuate based on the game's flow, the odds at the cash-out point are what the bettor gets. If the bet goes according to the initial prediction, the odds will rise, and vice versa.

It's a good feature. It's also related to a balance wherein your deposit of any accepted cryptocurrency (e.g., Bitcoin deposit) can be withdrawn with another method (Eth, Xrp, etc. or debit/credit card etc.)

An exchange feature will be a special attraction for a casino because only a few have this feature. If they can have this feature, it will be easier for gamblers who want to exchange their coins for other coins. Apart from that, it can be an additional income for the casino because a price difference will be used as an additional fee for gamblers.

But for API issues, maybe you can look at isportsapi.com. I don't know much about APIs that can be used for sports betting, and I'm sure you can use tons of APIs.

Following on from one of my previous messages here, one thing I really like on some sports books is a partial cashout feature - its definitely something to think about in my opinion for new sportsbooks

I would never conceive a sportbook that would not allow a cash-out. It is quite elementary to allow full freedom to the users, as they are going to play on the grounds that eventually they can fully withdraw if they have some serious luck on their betting, or even if the simply get tired of the site and decide to look for alternatives. I think that feature is a given.

Its a standard thing and who the heck would really be trying out to make that partial cashout feature if we do know that majority of gamblers wont really be that doing so.It would really be just pointless or useless

feature since no one would be ever using that.Whether it is really involving some huge or small amount then gamblers do really tend out to fully withdraw their money in according into their own decisions
on what they do have in mind.It would be no sense on adding up such option if it wont really be that be used on or simply its not really something that gamblers or bettors would really be doing so.
Instant and full withdrawal is a standard, dont know on why try to change up something or adding up which isnt really that needs to be changed.?

If you were building a Sportsbook, what API would you suggest integrating?

Would like live betting & props too if there's anything out there that offers this!

Thank you 

Your locality will tell you the kind of API that Will be integrated to the sportbook. If you add an API that is not popular in the area, gamblers or bettors might not play your sportbooks. So I will advise you to add the ones that are more popular and usefull in your territory and if you want to add more new sportbooks then you can add to attract customers.

The more bet types the better obviously.    I think the most important thing would be not accepting deposits (which isn't popular).  If bets were made and settled on chain without having to deposit funds, just receive an address for the bet you want to make and send funds, that would be great.  The only casino to ever offer this as far as I am aware was directbet.eu and they shut down after being scammed via double spends.  I think requiring a certain number of confirmations would have likely saved the operation and kept it going.  I'm a little surprised nobody has filled the hole that directbet left, but it's still wide open for the taking.

I don't have much experience in games and casinos, but one of the things that I would like to see built in a casino is an internal excahgen, it is the most comfortable way for many players to come, but to set rules so that not all they only come for that, the other thing is that they leave bonus things and consrusops with so many things in exchange, without many requirements because it is very difficult to win when they give bonuses in exchange for playing.

That they make an internal forum where they reward for publishing without having to be in signature campaigns, it is a strategy that I really like that they did in some projects.

Agree about setting a rule in case some casino will consider an internal exchange because money launderers can come only for this purpose although they still can launder money by placing a bet but this one is more risky since they can lose the money that they supposed to launder only. They can also use a crypto exchange to clean their coins.

For the bonus, it's normal for a casino to set a requirement because if they won't do that then each players will win it easily and it will now be a loss for them. The last thing that you said is also great. I know primedice and stake has this before. I mean the pay-per-post structure because they still have their forum up until now but users are not incentivized anymore for their post. I really don't know the reason why but I suspect it's because it's being abused.

Wondering about this thing or matter too on which there are lots of people who did really love that direct way of betting without needing to make out some registration and just simply make out bets directly on the given address and if you won then those winnings would be sent out on your wallet address directly without questions asked.I wasnt aware that the main reason on why directbet closed up its doors
due to double spend issues which it is really true that if they do really add up that confirmation time then it would really be definitely be solving up that main problem.
For those lines or games offered then it would be just standard that bookies should list out the most interesting ones rather than on having lots of options but crappy ones.

I get that you are trying to gather opinions of actual Sportsbook user here but you can easily get all the answers you would need with a simple search on your search engine and this is not in anyway trying to invalidate the opinions of others or yours.

However, this is actually very vulnerable to fraud and very detrimental to casino owners and their users too.
If indeed this way of betting is good and can attract users to bet in the casino, then surely many casino sites will implement it and Directbet will not go bankrupt and close because of being deceived.
Indeed, such a method might make it easier for gamblers to bet, but the risk is also very large. Sometimes someone will go crazy and want to commit a crime because of a large amount of money.

I get that you are trying to gather opinions of actual Sportsbook user here but you can easily get all the answers you would need with a simple search on your search engine and this is not in anyway trying to invalidate the opinions of others or yours.

It is not as simple, while there is a lot of information on the internet about almost anything that you can imagine, when it comes to technical questions it is unlikely you will find the exact answer you are looking for.

And the question of the OP falls under that umbrella, only those which have created their own sportsbook or a similar service, or those which are developers will have the answer they are looking for.

Always remember that what we could read on the internet isn't always reliable. Suggestions could only be answered through questions like this or through surveys.
It would be better to get technical ideas directly from Sportsbook users and developers. As for me, the polished and smooth deposit and withdrawal or cash-out transactions would be good enough and great betting features would just be additional.

Even though there is a lot of information on the internet, it doesn't answer all of his questions because he still has to find more information and compare it to find the answer he is looking for. Nowadays, search engines have provided more and more answers which are sometimes invalid so this is where we are required to be able to find what suits us.

And that's why it's better for him to contact the developer directly to find the exact answer because we here don't know too much about it. Thus, he would get answers straight from the source and he could come to his conclusions later.

Well, as much as I agree with you, i will still like to let you know that search engine really are doing great in providing answers or possible answers to most of our queries.
But then, it would be worth noting that not everybody know how to use search engines, one who knows how to use search engines is likely to find answers to whatever he or she is looking for, answers to questions are lurking everywhere on the internet, like YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, medium, blogs etc, but then, our knowledge of how to use the proper keywords in our searches is what determines our success in finding the answers we seek.

That's true and I agree. I'm talking about it for most people who may be familiar with search engines but don't yet know or learn how to use the engine operators well so they tend to get general answers to their questions. There are several other things to use or get a complete answer than just using it because we can use the right signs or keywords that most don't know about.

That is why some people still need more accurate information about what they want. And they really need to find out a lot more.
