Fantasy Sports Platform Built to Scale to Millions
Launch your own Dream11-style platform with real-time scoring, mega contests, KYC/AML compliance, and native mobile apps — engineered to handle crores of users on match day without a single dropped event.
Why Building a Fantasy Platform Is Harder Than It Looks
IPL Final day can deliver 10× normal traffic in 60 seconds. Your platform must survive that and keep every point update accurate.
Real-Time Score Accuracy
Ball-by-ball point recalculations must complete in milliseconds for 100K+ teams simultaneously, or users see stale ranks that erode trust.
Traffic Spike Handling
Match start triggers a massive surge. Platforms that don't auto-scale lose users permanently to better-performing competitors.
RMG Legal Compliance
Real-money gaming requires TDS deduction, KYC/AML, state-level geo-blocking for AP, Assam, Nagaland, and FEMA-compliant payout flows.
Contest Result Integrity
Rank and prize finalization must be tamper-proof, auditable, and dispute-proof — a single wrong payout damages the platform permanently.
Live Data Feed Reliability
Score feeds go down mid-match. Fallback data sources and conflict resolution logic are essential to avoid incorrect payouts.
Anti-Fraud & Multi-Accounting
Bonus abuse, multiple accounts, and bots exploiting promotions can bankrupt a platform. Robust fraud detection must run in real time.
Event-Driven Architecture That Scores Every Ball
We use a Kafka event pipeline to ingest raw ball-by-ball feed data, compute points per player per team in parallel microservices, push rank updates via WebSocket to every connected client, and write finalized results to PostgreSQL — all within 300ms of an event trigger.
Everything Your Fantasy Platform Needs
Real-Time Scoring Engine
Sub-300ms point computation for all player events — runs, wickets, boundaries, economy — with configurable multipliers per contest type.
Mega & Private Contests
Create public contests with guaranteed prize pools and private leagues with shareable invites, custom entries, and friend leaderboards.
Team Builder & Captain Logic
Drag-and-drop team creation with captain/VC multipliers, player credit system, team composition rules, and pre-match team preview.
Live Stats & Analysis
Ball-by-ball commentary feeds, player breakdowns, match statistics, and head-to-head comparisons to guide team selection.
KYC & AML Compliance
Aadhaar/PAN-based KYC, bank account verification, auto TDS deduction at 30% on net winnings, and FEMA-compliant payout flows.
Wallet & Payments
UPI, cards, net banking, and wallet with deposit bonus credits, cashback management, and instant withdrawal processing.
Native Mobile Apps
iOS + Android apps with push notifications for match reminders, score alerts, rank updates, and promotional contests.
Admin & Operations Panel
Full contest management, match scheduling, prize distribution, fraud flagging, user management, and financial reconciliation dashboard.
