Experts at reliably concurrent online betting software for millions of users
Innovative online betting partners
Online gambling has a unique set of challenges when it comes to handling massive spikes in users. Big events like the FIFA World Cup Final or Superbowl will have millions of concurrent users and events, with prices updating by the second.
We’ve worked with A LOT of online betting companies, including world leaders such as William Hill and Bet 365, to build systems that can reliably and elegantly handle peak usage periods and save costs and resources by efficiently scaling back down again. Over the years, we gained great insight into the challenges of the industry and how to solve them.
How can operators efficiently scale up and back down again?
Big events are the bread and butter of the Gaming industry. Tentpole events like The Grand National and The FIFA World Cup require the infrastructure to take the load, and then cost and resource to efficiently scale back down again. Download your free white paper to find out more.

Innovation
With support for millions of lightweight processes, Erlang & Elixir allow you to build massively concurrent and fault tolerant applications very quickly. The functional paradigm makes program outputs much easier to predict, therefore easier to debug and analyse.
Scale
With its background in telecommunications, The BEAM VM excels in handling message explosion and multiplexing – the generation of a cascade of messages out to individual users starting from a single event – a message cascade that can span hundreds of servers in a coherent way that maintains message delivery order.
Reliability
Erlang and Elixir’s concurrency no-shared memory architecture and built-in ‘fail and recover’ approach make them behave extremely gracefully and predictably under highly variable stochastic load. This makes them ideal to build critical betting systems on.
Real time
Because of Erlang and Elixir’s soft real time properties, inherited from the telephony world, reactions to external events occur in microseconds, allowing for timely responses.
Speed and Uptime
Our technologies are designed for 24/7 applications allowing the dynamic upgrading of running production systems. With built-in support for distributed code delivery you can upgrade a farm of servers from one host.
Support and community
As Erlang and Elixir are highly utilised by sports and betting companies, there is a wealth of knowledge to access from the community.
I spoke with two CTOs I know who utilize Erlang and they both recommended Erlang Solutions. They were able to come in with their expertise, help us establish best practice and give us confidence that going forward our systems would be efficient and reliable.
Working together with Erlang Solutions, and the MongooseIM team was a great example of what a best of breed tech partnership can achieve. Their expertise in building resilient, fault-tolerant backend architecture created the foundation for a project that truly exceeded the expectations of our client
Erlang has become an essential technology in our toolkit. It is helping us to create reliable, fault-tolerant systems that can be scaled incrementally to meet the growth in our business.
