AI, advanced models, and esports expertise—the stack your margins depend on
Sharp bettors exploit every edge they can find, from slow updates to stale odds. Our risk management solution catches and stops threats before they cost you.
Focus on quality over quantity
More tournament coverage doesn't mean better coverage. We go to great lengths to identify—and avoid—matches at high risk of costly match-fixing incidents, and we do it before they can harm you.
AI-assisted limits
Our OTS, Oddin.gg Trading System, uses a combination of humans and AI to rate each tournament and then set limits on payout, liability, and betting delays to help you control your risk exposure.
Real-time ticket analysis
Powerful sharp bettor detection keeps you protected. Our team monitors tickets in real time, watching for patterns that point to risky behaviors, and adjusts limits instantly to keep your profits safe.
Protection via a global network
Our extensive partner network can help you too. Having customers of all sizes around the world gives us access to fast first-hand knowledge of potentially dangerous bettors and lets us take action before they can do more damage.
Our approach to risk management
Esports is not like other sports, and neither are our risk management experts. We staff title experts who start with deep knowledge of the game, the players, and the bettors. When that knowledge is combined with our extensive historical database, our team can identify sharp bettors from a small sample of bets, providing a powerful safeguard for the integrity of esports.
Frequently asked questions
How is esports risk management different from standard risk management?
Esports risk management is the practice of protecting a sportsbook's margins from the unique volatilities of competitive gaming. Unlike traditional sports, esports faces frequent game patches that change team strengths overnight and a high risk of past-posting due to stream delays. Oddin.gg combines automated AI monitoring with former pro players and title experts to identify these threats in real-time, ensuring your book stays profitable and secure.
How does Oddin.gg protect sportsbooks from match-fixing?
Using a multi-layered integrity ecosystem, we utilize real-time ticket monitoring, global market analysis informed by our global network of customers and billions of euros in handle, and an extensive database of suspicious activities, all of which give us the information needed to identify risky patterns that an individual operator might miss.
Can I set my own liability limits, or is it fully automated?
Yes. Our back-office platform allows you to customize liability limits based on tournament tiers, set maximum payouts per match, and define specific betting delays. While our AI handles the high-volume automation, you maintain the final word on your risk appetite, allowing you to be aggressive where you choose and tighten controls in other competitions.
What is the average uptime for Oddin.gg's live esports markets?
Oddin.gg leads the industry with an average uptime exceeding 80% overall, and over 90% for major titles. Every second a market is suspended and bets can't be placed represents lost turnover. Our infrastructure is built specifically to handle the volatile states of esports, including rapid-fire kills or objective takes, keeping markets open more than other providers.
Why is official data more valuable in managing risk than scraped data?
Traditional providers often rely on scraped data or broadcast feeds that include a long latency, leaving you vulnerable to people who bet on events that have already happened. By using official, server-side data, we provide zero-latency feeds, allowing your markets to stay open longer while closing exactly when an in-game event occurs, effectively neutralizing delay-based exploits.
How can Oddin.gg increase operator GGR?
Every bet slip at Oddin.gg is analyzed in real-time, providing a continuous stream of data back to our trading models. This feedback loop allows our systems to adjust odds as the market shifts. By helping you confidently accept more good bets while filtering out risky ones, we can help lift your GGR.
