How Betslip Level Recommendations Work

The Betslip-Level Recommendations engine operates seamlessly, delivering real-time, personalised betting suggestions based on player actions. Here’s a quick overview:

  • Bet Slip Similarity Analysis: When a player makes a selection, the engine searches for similar bets by initiating a recommendation request based on the marketID likely to interest the player.
  • Similar Bet Exploration: The engine examines related selections and identifies additional betting opportunities, expanding beyond the player’s immediate choices.

  • Market Correlation and Prioritisation: Potential bets are ranked by market popularity, ensuring players see the most relevant opportunities first.

  • Real-Time Player Interaction: Each addition or removal from a player’s betslip triggers instant analysis, helping the engine capture and adapt to player preferences in real time.
  • Dynamic Request Handling: Operators can submit requests after every betslip update, enabling continuous, real-time engagement with players.
  • Customisation Options: Operators can configure key parameters, such as the number of similar selections and similarity thresholds, to align the system with strategic objectives.
  • Swift Response: With a maximum 3-second response time, the engine ensures quick and smooth player interactions.
