Background

The gambling and betting sector in the UK is a high-stakes dynamic business with a continuing influx of new users. The fragmented market and fierce regulatory pressure put service providers at their utmost scrutiny to deliver absorbing user experiences for sophisticated punters, whose betting behavior trades among 5 different brands.

At a CAGR of 11.4%, the iGaming and Betting market of over $60 billion is expected to top $125 billion by 2026 (Statista), though results are often higher.

Client

Ladbrokes Coral Plc (GVC Holdings), a UK Giant in the iGaming and Betting market, is one of the oldest, largest, and most prestigious companies operating today. GVC ‘s acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral and inherent synergies of scale poised the company to harvest growth opportunities and competitive advantage in the product and service market.

Challenge

Symphony Solutions began collaboration with this client 6 years ago and was the original technological partner to Coral Group to successfully deliver a fully-fledged sportsbook front-end platform in record time. With the Ladbrokes Coral merger fully adapted, Symphony Solutions was entrusted with developing and delivering the Ladbrokes iteration of such platform.

“On one stream is bolstering your product offering, while also scaling up and increasing robust capability during peak times. We need to be able to handle high volume while retaining performance.”

Solution

The scrupulous process involved 9 intense months of collaboration between Symphony Solutions teams and client to develop the Ladbrokes Sportsbook, which includes newly added features to gain ownership and reduce licensing fees.

This new Sportsbook has optimizations and improvements, such as:

  • Increased speed and load resilience
  • Scalable Microservice technology
  • A new heuristic design with a fresh and engaging look
  • Simplified navigation and transaction journeys

These combined latest updates bolster the platform technology and feature capacity to fully embrace and reflect a single technological multi-brand front-end sportsbook platform to drive financial synergies and inspire preference among users.

Result

As a result of our custom software development services, the newly developed Ladbrokes Sportsbook front end-platform was launched in October 2019 with a bold new user interface across Native, Mobile, Tablet and Desktop, which also includes bet placement optimization and functionalities based on cloud native development to yield in the all-time highest customer satisfaction on record.

The next mission, already underway, is to migrate both the Coral and Ladbrokes sportsbook front-end platforms to the GVC proprietary platform to place the company in a position of increased efficiency and profitability.
