Betting and gambling - in real time!

The betting and gambling industry have until recently been using “thick clients” at the punter. To enable online update the client had to download and install either a client program or some sort of web component such as active-X, applet or Flash.

This has caused a lot of extra problems because there are a lot of clients who are not allowed (due to company policies etc.) or who do not want to install unsecure components. In addition to this, the workload of the support department has been heavy.

Thanks to new techniques a betting client (punter) now can be a “pure” web client without any components and still be updated in real time. InstantPush has became a platform for that!

Betting Exchange case description

Univits in Sweden was contracted to deliver a betting exchange system. Some vital demands were that:

1. The system should be proven to be able to handle very intense transactions, preferably used by the stock exchange / financial industry.
2. The punter should be a web client updated in real time.
3. The punter should be able to run from any computer, thus not have any components to download and install. 

To be able to meet these demands they chose InstantPush from Trapets as their punter platform. Trapets has developed the punter web client and has implemented the real time technique.
