In which language top gambling sites are coded ?

In PHP.

Server: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.9-1ubuntu4.14

So, can we assume, they are using MySQL at the backend?

No.

In which language 777Coin.com & Bitvest.io are coded?

[NLNico]

Both set a PHPSESSID cookie, so both in PHP.

Busy gambling sites need to provide high security as well as serve high traffic. In which language today's top sites are coded ? Which DB are they using ?

I'm listing a few sites below. Please post if u know about their configuration. If u know about a site which is not in the list, please post that too...

Following table is updated as per latest data found in this thread...

Site	Server	Backend	Socket lib	DB/Storage	Frontend
Just-Dice.com		Node.js	socket.io	redis+MySQL
PrimeDice.com	Cowboy	Node.js	socket.io	PostgreSQL	EmberJS
DiceBitco.in	nginx	Node.js+Express	Primus		AngularJS
Dicenow.com	nginx	Node.js+Express	socket.io		AngularJS
Satoshibet.com	nginx	Node.js	socket.io	mySQL+mongoDB
MoneyPot.com	Cowboy	Node.js	socket.io	PostgreSQL	React

FastSlots.co	vanilla	node.js	socket.io	mySQL	backbone

I'm so glad you made this thread and kept it updated i have wanted to know this for a really long time. There is one more thing i wonder about and that is how powerful their servers are.

I am pretty sure most are coded in PHP these days and every gambling site has more or less the same code.

[Dabs]

Servers for the big sites are usually on dedicated machines either rented or co-located at a datacenter.

Servers for really big gambling sites (the ones that don't accept bitcoin; the ones that have government licenses to operate) could be clustered or replicated or has some form of failover / high-availability / redundancy / whatever.

Small gambling sites can be run from a small VPS.

Small (or big) gambling sites using bitcoind with pruning also require less disk space than before. 70 GB for old versions versus 2 GB for the latest.

The codes differ in exactly how the games are determined, like what hash they use or what provably fair method they use, and if they are running dice games or lotto games or card games.

Dice games need a "real" server. Lotto games or any game that is "slow" could theoretically run on a home laptop (only the front facing website is on a server) or a really cheap VPS.

I think big sites operate on clouds like AWS or Heroku. Small ones are on Digital Ocean or Shared Hosting.

OP updated with these data. If you know the blanks fields, please let me know. I'll update accordingly. I'd also request site owners to participate in this thread for data accuracy.

Nice to know that it helped. I guess, server specs will highly vary depending on site load.

[DutchDemon]

Is not PRCDice.eu now known as BetKing.io?

[Ryan Dugan]

I only know of some of what's going on bit this is a very informative list .
How do you know all this ?

[freedomcoinz]

https://wajur.com uses nginx in front of Java/JSP.

Ironically, the primary developer makes extensive use of Node.js at his or her "day job", but falls back to more traditional technologies when the stakes are higher.

Agree with the sentiment that GO will become more popular for the back end.

Wish someone would start a thread about the best places to host...

[BitsandBites]

I dont think there are so many websites where you can have lots of language becuase most of the time it is only in english because everyone can speak english unless the france people off course.

[bitcoin-hunter]

Most of the commend language is english off course i dont think you should listn to this but if you are trying to make a gamble site dont do it because there are to many of them you wont get hits.

you misunderstood, the thread is about code language

[PrediMarket]

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to know what languages/technologies are used for gambling sites?

[Dabs]

How about what languages are used for large bitcoin exchanges? bitcoin to altcoin exchanges? bitcoin shopping carts?

For server size and capacity, just think about ... microsoft exchange email hosting. App hosting. Dedicated hosts can usually handle 300 transactions (games, bets, etc) per second. Then even bigger sites have redundancy so there are two or three or more of every server. Database availability groups. Backup servers. "Replica" ... RAID, for when hard drives or SSDs fail.

All usually taken care of by the hosting provider. For a price.

[Daffadile]

Ok we speaking about what languages they use and the data bases but what about the security they using ?
Also what exactly is a backend and how does it work and what is it's function. I see there a few people that seem to know what is going on and what they are talking about so perhaps someone could answer me.
