Sportsbook API Integration

Casino operators exploring sports betting

Casino operators exploring sports betting typically face a strategic decision: build sportsbook technology from scratch – an undertaking that demands both deep technical expertise and significant capital – or integrate rigid third-party platforms that create operational silos and limit customization options. Neither approach delivers the operational simplicity and flexibility modern operators require.

Hub88 addresses this through Odds88, a customizable sportsbook solution that lets operators build betting experiences tailored to their specific needs. Odds88, rebranded from TradeArt in early 2025, integrates into the Hub88 ecosystem, alongside casino content, payments, and back-office capabilities. Gain access to comprehensive sports betting functionality through the same unified platform delivering your casino operations.

Hub88's Sportsbook Solution

Customizable Betting Platform

The Odds88 sportsbook platform functions as a “next-gen toolkit,” allowing operators to build customizable betting experiences. Every partner has unique needs and preferences, and Odds88 develops products tailored to each operator’s specific requirements. Rather than accepting one-size-fits-all sportsbook implementations, customize features, interfaces, and functionality to match your brand positioning and target demographics.

Odds88 focuses on building around player experience with localized market content and niche sports coverage. Wherever operators decide to grow, Odds88 provides relevant betting opportunities on events players find fun, attractive, and passionate about. Your sportsbook differentiates from competitors rather than delivering identical experiences.

Aggregated Odds Feeds

The TradeArt solution (now Odds88) aggregates and automates odds data streams from various providers, allowing operators to select ideal feeds for each event. With the aggregated odds platform, Odds88 can switch between different feeds and providers to minimize downtime to almost zero, maintaining 99.8% uptime. This redundancy protects operators from provider outages that would halt betting on affected markets.

The multi-provider approach delivers competitive odds across sports and leagues. Through automated odds aggregation, operators consistently offer attractive prices without incurring manual trading overhead, creating market-specific offerings that provide odds for popular sports and events through managed trading services.

Advanced Sportsbook Features

Odds88 has been building out sportsbook capabilities, including bet builders, cash-out with risk management, and custom event creation. These advanced features allow operators to provide sophisticated betting experiences that rival those of established sportsbooks. Bet builders let players create customized same-game parlays. Cash-out functionality gives players control over active bets. Custom event creation supports niche markets and promotional opportunities.

Automation and AI drive risk management, detecting any anomalies without overburdening resources. The platform measures the theoretical value of every bet placed for customer profiling and risk assessment. Sophisticated risk management protects operators while maintaining player-friendly betting limits.

Simplified Sports Betting Format

Accessible Betting Experience

Hub88 launched Pick’em88 in August 2025, a simplified sports betting feature powered by Odds88 data. Built on a 50/50 format popular in the US market, Pick’em88 allows users to create quick-turnaround multibets by predicting whether a player or team will achieve more or less than a projected outcome.

With no complex odds or betting jargon, Pick’em88 offers an intuitive experience for all levels of bettors. Pick’Em88 markets present low barriers to entry while delivering substantial entertainment value, making them appealing to casual players while still offering depth for experienced bettors. The format appeals to players intimidated by traditional sportsbooks, while also providing strategic depth for sophisticated bettors.

Flexible Integration Options

Pick’em88 can be integrated with traditional sportsbook markets or operate as a standalone product, with full branding customization available for operators. Operators exploring sports betting can launch Pick’em88 independently to test player interest before committing to comprehensive sportsbook integration. Established sportsbooks add Pick’em88 alongside existing markets to diversify betting options.

The format aligns with market trends, including mobile-first design, gamification, and content that is easily shareable on social media. Clear outcomes make it ideal for operators looking to drive acquisition and engagement with broader player demographics.

Triggy provides marketing and engagement tools for sportsbook operators and affiliates, helping media companies and publishers monetize sports content through dynamic and context-aware sports and odds widgets.

Aggregated Odds Feeds

The TradeArt solution (now Odds88) aggregates and automates odds data streams from various providers, allowing operators to select ideal feeds for each event. With the aggregated odds platform, Odds88 can switch between different feeds and providers to minimize downtime to almost zero, maintaining 99.8% uptime. This redundancy protects operators from provider outages that would halt betting on affected markets.

The multi-provider approach delivers competitive odds across sports and leagues. Through automated odds aggregation, operators consistently offer attractive prices without incurring manual trading overhead, creating market-specific offerings that provide odds for popular sports and events through managed trading services.

Technical Integration and Operations

Single API Architecture

Odds88 (formerly TradeArt) can be easily integrated via a single API or iFrame and requires no extra effort through the Hub88 platform. Operators already integrated with Hub88 for casino content activate sportsbook functionality through existing connections. New operators integrate once and gain immediate access to both casino and sportsbook capabilities.

The unified API simplifies technical architecture compared to managing separate casino and sportsbook integrations. Development teams use existing Hub88 knowledge rather than learning entirely new systems. This integration efficiency substantially accelerates sportsbook deployment timelines.

Operational Management

Through an intuitive back office, operators can control and manage risk down to the customer level. The back office extends HubConnect’s casino management capabilities to sportsbook operations, providing unified visibility across your entire gaming platform. Track sportsbook performance alongside casino metrics, manage player accounts consistently across product verticals, and process payments through the same HubWallet infrastructure.

Comprehensive Sports Coverage

Hub88’s sportsbook offering provides access to a vast portfolio of options, including daily fantasy sports and horse and greyhound racing. HubMarket includes access to sports feeds covering top events through TradeArt (now Odds88). With such comprehensive coverage, operators can cater to both mainstream and niche betting preferences without needing to assemble multiple specialized providers.

Strategic Advantages

Ecosystem Synergy

The Odds88 ecosystem includes an aggregation platform supported by multiple provider partnerships, streamlining seamless interaction across platforms. Casino operators moving into sports can build on their existing player relationships to expand their offerings. Sportsbook-focused operations can add casino content. The unified platform approach creates operational advantages that are impossible with fragmented, multi-vendor architectures.

Automated Operations

Automation in Odds88 allows for scalable processes that save partners time and energy. Automated processes eliminate human error while maintaining fair odds through AI-driven algorithms. The automation reduces operational overhead typically associated with sportsbook management, making sports betting viable for operators lacking extensive trading teams.

Market Differentiation

With our customization features, Odds88 will look very different depending on the partner using it. Unique features, in particular, significantly influence pressing issues such as risk management. Operators create differentiated sportsbook experiences rather than deploying cookie-cutter platforms identical to competitors. The customization extends to interface design, feature sets, market offerings, and promotional mechanics.
