White-label Mobile Sportsbook Apps
About the Project
To promote the expansion of a leading iGaming brand into the lucrative US and Canadian markets, we’ve created regionally-compliant white-label sportsbook apps for iOS and Android. Seamlessly integrated into the client’s comprehensive system, the applications turned out to be the catalyst of the company’s growth. Integrations with renowned third-party providers like Kambi, SmartyStreets, or Xtreme Push and cross-state operability have let the client tap into new regions, strengthening their position in the betting market.
Services: iOS App Development, Android App Development
The Client
Our client is undeniably a true iGaming powerhouse, recognized for their technical prowess and ingenious spirit. Collaborations with industry giants from Poland, Denmark, or Belgium confirm their credibility and global expertise. Since 2010, the brand has encapsulated the perfect blend of technology, partnership, and market knowledge with the vision to dominate the ever-evolving gaming industry. Their mission is to provide unrivaled white-label sportsbook software that empowers clients to innovate, reduce operational costs, and maintain a competitive edge in regulated markets worldwide.
The Goal
Our mission was to pave the way for our client’s smooth entry into the competitive but profitable markets of the United States and Canada. We aimed to build custom mobile frontends compliant with all relevant regulations. To bring this vision to life, we started developing two white-label native sportsbooks for Android and iOS integrated with the client’s system.
Challenges of Developing White Label Sportsbook Solution
Right from the start, we faced an exciting yet demanding goal – delivering the core sportsbook software within just 3 months. Why was it so challenging?
Adaptability and Customization
We needed to build a solid foundation to facilitate adjustments and customization for future stakeholders.
Expertise in Multiple Fields
It required technical prowess, including mobile systems, real-time data and payments integration, UI management, and scalable codebase creation.
Integrations
We had to coordinate diverse systems and APIs, ensuring seamless integration despite technical variations in providers’ systems and interfaces.
Short Deadline
Given the high priority placed on the apps’ quality, we had to balance between timely delivery and maintaining the excellence of the final product.
Legal Requirements
The complexity of the license and accreditation process in the US required careful navigation.
Team Game
The project demanded our close collaboration with the client’s team to ensure a successful outcome.
Focus
Both applications had to adhere to rigorous app marketplace guidelines, particularly Apple’s, and local regulations, which is not so simple in the case of white-label sportsbook platforms and turnkey solutions.
Scope
With all the requirements on the table, we proceeded straight to developing the sports betting software. As the deadline was tight, we implemented the Agile methodology to optimize the process, which let us deliver valuable results within each iteration.
Agile Development
Working in close cooperation with the client’s tech team, we initiated the creation of native Android and iOS applications using the standard mobile technology stack. Yet, our target extended beyond conventional mobile apps. We aimed to deliver white label sportsbooks, forcing us to think outside the box and implement more complex solutions.
Integrations
To ensure an exceptional betting experience, we combined our sports betting platform with the Kambi sportsbook via an SDK. Additional third-party integrations included SmartyStreets for address autocomplete, XtremePush for push notifications and marketing campaigns, Zendesk for customer support, and AppsFlyer for app analytics.
The Foundation
First, we focused on building a well-structured codebase serving as a template that would provide flexibility for future expansion, modularization, and seamless onboarding of new tenants. To comply with regulatory requirements, the apps included a KYC process during registration, as well as Terms & Conditions and other legal necessities.
Backend Tweaks
Although the backend infrastructure of this white-label sportsbook solution was the client’s responsibility, we promptly identified opportunities for server-side enhancements to increase apps’ performance and scalability. The user experience significantly improved by resolving these issues, maximizing the app’s potential gains.
Close Collaboration
Throughout the entire project, we fostered cooperation with UX/UI designers and backend developers from the client’s team to ensure seamless integration of each component into the system.

White Label Solution Deployment – Results
Through weeks of focused efforts fueled by dedication and a strong bond of trust, we successfully yielded white-label mobile apps that passed strict guidelines and let our partner go live with two key clients.
The delivered product is characterized by customizability, regulation-compliant design, and a full-spectrum betting experience addressing the demands of all parties involved – our partner, their B2B clients, and end users. Yet, it is the integration with the client’s exclusive Traveling Wallet that truly sets the apps apart, providing a competitive edge in a region where gambling regulations vary from state to state.
During our journey, we not only built a remarkable core solution but also tailored it to match the branding of our partner’s esteemed B2B clients, one operating in Canada and the other in the United States. But that’s not all. Building upon the foundation of the white-label sportsbook, we also leveraged its core functionality to bring forth a bespoke online casino for the same client.
Despite multiplying hurdles, including backend and integration-related issues, we created the product that met all predefined requirements in just 3 months – an impressively brief period given the project’s extent. What was our secret?
Key to our strategy was prioritizing consistent communication and joint problem-solving. By treating every challenge as a shared concern, we ensured that issues were identified early and effectively resolved before they could escalate.
While primarily focused on building mobile applications, our involvement extended beyond that. We actively contributed to improving server-side infrastructure and CI/CD workflows. Our vast expertise brought valuable insights to the overall system, identifying bottlenecks and streamlining processes.
