Getting Started with OptiX
Overview of required data to get started with Opti-X and data ingestion methods
Prepare Your Data
The Opti-X platform relies on the following types of required data ingested from the operator. Integration with Opti-X is as easy as ABC - Activity, Bettable content and Consume.
Activity
- Customer transactions
- A preferably real-time feed of data describing customer activity with the operator, typically sourced from the back-end platform.
- This could include customer account and transactional activity (registrations, logins, deposits and withdrawals) as well as game play/bets and game session-level data showing summarised spins, stakes, and winnings.
- Where it is not possible to receive transactions in real time they can be received via daily batch e.g. casino game transactions (session wins/losses) may not be visible from the operator's app but can be retrieved from a data warehouse.
- Browsing activity
- Real-time data showing customer browsing behaviour and interactions with digital touchpoints.
- This includes page views, game launches and other tracking events showing customer intent. This data often already exists as it is sent to web analytics platforms such as Google Analytics.
- Historical customer activity
- To give our modelling framework a head-start we typically ask for 3-6 months of historical data from the operator (usually sourced from their data warehouse) in a mutually agreed format. This extract is ingested as a one-off as it is replaced by the ongoing real-time feeds once up and running.
Bettable content
- Games inventory data
- For Gaming this is the list of games that are currently available to play on the site. This is typically collected via an Opti-X process that interrogates the live gaming site and extracts the inventory using the same APIs that the site itself uses to get game information from the gaming platform.
- To enrich the information we hold on games we typically maintain a games reference file that adds descriptive data like categories, RTP and jackpot type information. This is also mapped internally to our industry-wide games database which adds further categorisation. This file is maintained as a manual process in collaboration with the operator and uploaded using our Reference API or directly via our Admin application.
- Sports inventory
- A real-time view of the operator's available sports, competitions, events, markets and selections updated with changes in availability and prices.
Consume
How you get data from the Opti-X platform and in front of your customers. Use our simple RESTful APIs to integrate our content wherever you like.
