With so many options available for sports betting, it is important that you feel safe placing wagers…and technology is a great help in this matter. Previously, there have been high profile cases of companies blaming their technology for generating odds they later claim to be a mistake. If you place a bet based on certain odds – you expect to receive a payout if what you bet on happens! One solution that avoids encountering cancelled or changed bets comes via blockchain technology.In this article in Inc. Magazine, Bill Carmody writes about the positive impact Blockchain could have on the online gambling industry. He comments: “…the underpinnings of the [blockchain] technology hold substantial promise for bringing the element of trust into online gambling. By integrating blockchain technology, all parties benefit from the permanent record of a verifiable, unchangeable transaction ledger. In other words, an online gambling platform using this technology provides transparency at the transaction level.”
In a world where consumers really don’t tolerate error or delays, integrating technology that makes the entire user experience more streamlined is only going to improve customer satisfaction. Blockchain improves security, cuts out errors and reduces the risk of tampering. The flow of data is streamlined, the customer experience is enhanced, and all at a fraction of the original cost.
