If you were building a Sportsbook...

[Eureka_07]

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!

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.

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.

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).

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.

Those were some random search and quick result from the search. I did not even looked at the contents and have not done any research. But anyone who wants to have a sportbook of their own they will obviously do their own homework.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Thank you 

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.

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.

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
