Product Review: Football Tracker and Tax Engine from Digitain


Digitain has recently launched an updated version of its Live Football Tracker – offering its partners’ players a super interactive experience. Covering football matches from over 150 different countries and 726 separate championships, the new Football Tracker features 177 different stats and team options. It really is a great addition to the players’ experience. The comprehensive package includes goals, cards and squad details and player information, as well as up-to-the-second team possession animation. This version will be available across all Digitain channels, and web, mobile and native applications. Operator customisation is available and more sports will be added soon. Also launched this year is the new Tax Engine. That grew out of conversations with its partners in Africa, where there are often some challenges for operators concerning collection of the correct gaming taxes. The Tax Engine does all the heavy lifting for the operators and allows them to focus instead on marketing and developing their business. Main functionality includes the ability to automatically deduct betting tax from the customer's stake, from their winnings or, in the case of some countries, from both. The Tax Engine is compatible with all versions of Digitain’s sportsbook, and also works across all channels, web, mobile and even in bet shops. Plus, there’s a great reporting suite too. Peter Nolan, Digitain’s strategic consultant, is delighted with the new products; “Our Football Live Tracker is a really exciting development. Our pre-match information is comprehensive and will help customers make informed, data-based decisions when choosing their selections. Our live betting data, stats and visualisations are delivered extremely quickly due to our use of the latest web socket technology. “The Tax Engine adds real value in markets with complex gaming tax requirements, giving operators confidence that they can quickly handle any regulatory changes.”
