Platform Modernization and API Segmentation for Rapid Market Expansion

The client’s monolithic platform hindered growth due to complex maintenance, limited scalability, and difficulty in integrating new markets and features. Their existing APIs were single-repository and non-segmented, making modifications slow and risky. The platform lacked a mobile app, limiting reach to mobile users, and their payment methods were insufficient for diverse regions, impacting user retention and acquisition. Additionally, supporting rapid market entry required faster API access and enhanced security measures. These challenges led to increased operational costs and constrained business expansion.

A large, established online gambling platform seeking to modernize their infrastructure to enhance scalability, enable quick entry into new markets, and improve user engagement through updated APIs, mobile applications, and diverse payment options.

• Transform the existing monolithic system into a microservices-based architecture with segmented APIs (e.g., User API, Payments API, Game API) to enable independent development and deployment.
• Develop a cross-platform mobile application that replicates website functionalities to attract mobile-first users and improve user engagement.
• Expand and diversify payment options, including regional financial instruments and cryptocurrencies, while ensuring compliance with regional regulations and anti-money laundering standards.
• Implement robust test automation for payment modules and core functionalities to ensure reliability and security.
• Enable faster and more secure access for internal teams and external partners to facilitate quick market entry and reduce maintenance overhead.
• Optimize codebase for performance, scalability, and security, supporting the platform’s growth and user base expansion.

• Microservice APIs for User Management, Payments, and Games, allowing independent updates and access.
• Cross-platform mobile application developed using Flutter with Dart, compatible with iOS and Android devices.
• Flexible payment processing system supporting bank transfers, credit cards, digital wallets, Apple Pay, and future inclusion of cryptocurrencies.
• Integration with external payment gateways, regional financial institutions, and cryptocurrency platforms.
• Automated testing framework for payment workflows, transaction security, and platform stability.
• Secure API gateway with role-based access control and encryption standards.
• Monitoring and logs for performance metrics, error tracking, and security auditing.

• Payment gateways supporting regional methods and cryptocurrencies
• External verification and compliance systems for AML and responsible gaming
• Third-party game providers and content delivery networks
• Regional licensing and regulatory compliance platforms

• System scalability to support increasing concurrent users and game sessions
• High availability with 99.9% uptime SLA
• Security standards compliant with GDPR, AML, and regional regulations
• Transaction processing time under 2 seconds for deposits and withdrawals
• API response times under 500 milliseconds under load
• Automated backups and disaster recovery protocols

The modernization is expected to significantly reduce API deployment and maintenance time, enabling rapid entry into multiple new markets. Mobile app deployment will increase user engagement and monetization opportunities. Diversified payment options, including cryptocurrencies, will attract a broader audience, boosting user acquisition and retention. Overall, the project aims to enhance platform scalability, security, and operational efficiency, leading to increased revenue streams and reduced long-term support costs.
