Step 1: Configuring the General Platform Limit

Welcome to the General Platform Limits Configuration Guide. Here, you'll find everything you need to know about setting and managing betting limits across your sportsbook. Whether you're defining limits for single, multiple, or system bets, or applying them across pre-match and in-play categories, this guide walks you through it all. You’ll learn how to configure platform-wide limits by bet amount, potential risk, maximum winnings, and bet repeatability—all within a defined time range. You’ll also understand how to enable automatic or manual checks, helping you strike the perfect balance between automation and control in your risk management strategy.

Navigation Overview

  1. Accessing the Platform Limits Screen:

    • Navigate to the "Risk Management" section.

    • Click on the Platform Limits tab.

  2. Initial View:

    • You will see the first and Active limit

    • It will open its configuration details for review or editing.

Creating a New Limit

  1. Step 1: General Rule Info

    • Click +New to start configuring a new limit.

    • Time Range: Set the active period for the limit using:

      • From: Start date and time (Default: Today, 00:01 AM).

      • To: End date and time (Default: Today, 23:59 PM).

      • Validation:

        • End time cannot precede start time.

        • Overlapping time ranges are not allowed.

    • Platform Max Risk: How much you, as a bookmaker are willing to lose across the whole platform, regardless of whether the bets are single, multiple, in-play, or pre-play all within a given month.

      • Define the maximum risk tolerance (Default: 25,500).

      • Allowed range: 10 - 100,000,000.

    • Action Button:

      • Choose between Reject (Default) or Check if the limit is exceeded (check action will be activated in Q2)

    • Description:

      • Add a short description (3-100 characters). Use only English alphanumeric characters and common symbols.

    • Once all inputs are valid, click Next to proceed to the next step.

The limits system provides a structured framework of rules and limits applied to different bet types, such as single, multiple, and system bets, across both pre-match and live (in-play) betting states.

By leveraging configurable risk thresholds, the system enables bookies to monitor, control, and respond to betting activity dynamically, mitigating potential losses and preventing abuse.

Step 2: PreMatch Rule Info

  • Define limits for Single, Multiple, and System Bets in pre-match markets.

  • Configuration Fields: For each bet type, configure the following:

    • Bet Max Risk: The total amount the company is willing to lose on single bets.

    • Max Bet Amount: The maximum stake value that the system will accept for a single bet.

    • Min Bet Amount: The minimum stake(bet) value that the system will allow for a single bet.

    • Max Winning: The maximum amount per bet per customer that the system is willing to lose

    • Max Odds: The maximum odds the system is willing to accept

    • Min Odds: The minimum odds the system is willing to accept

    • Max Winning Percentage: The ratio of winning bets to all bets taken. If the ratio exceeds the defined value, further bets will be rejected

    • Max Repeated for Bet: The total value stake of repeated bets before the system will reject further similar bets to avoid customers abusing limits on the same selection.

    • Max Repeated Bet (Frequency): The bet count of repeated bets before the system will reject further similar bets to avoid customers abusing limits on the same selection. This is the same concept as Max Repeated for Simple Bet however instead of counting the staking( Bet slip value) it counts the number of bets placed regardless of the staking value.

    • Max Winning for Ongoing Pre-Match Bet: This limit relates to the total potential winnings from all pre-match bets that are currently unsettled

  • Validation:

    • Numeric inputs only.

    • Range: 10 - 100,000,000.

    • Pre-configured for convenience (e.g., Single bets: Max Risk = 10,000).

  • Action Button:

    • Choose between Reject (Default) or Check if the limit is exceeded (check action will be activated in Q2)

Step 3: InPlay Rule Info

  • Define limits for live (in-play) betting.

  • Configuration Fields:

    • Bet Max Risk: the maximum amount you as a bookmaker can place on a single live (in-play) bet. If a bet exceeds this amount, it will be rejected or flagged for review depending on the configured action

    • Max Win Live: the maximum payout amount allowed for a single live (in-play) bet. If the potential winnings exceed this amount, the bet will either be rejected or flagged for review.

    • Max Winning Percentage: This is the same as pre-match Max Winning Percentage for Simple Bets, where if the ratio of winning bets to all bets taken. If the ratio exceeds the defined value, further bets will be rejected.

    • Max Winning Percentage for Ongoing Bet: This limit relates to the total potential winnings from all inplay bets that are currently unsettled

  • Toggle Option: Enable or disable the limit using the toggle (Default: Off, value = 0).

  • Validation:

    • Similar to pre-match settings.

    • Default values provided (e.g., Single bets: Max Risk = 10,000).

  • Action Button:

    • Choose between Reject (Default) or Check if the limit is exceeded (check action will be activated in Q2)

  • Click Save to finalize the configuration.

Actions on the Platform Limits Screen

  • Save: For a new limit, activate after completing all configuration steps. Sends the new limit details to the server.

  • Cancel: Deletes the new limit without saving changes.

  • Discard: Clears all inputs for the current step.

  • Delete: Removes an existing limit permanently.

Review and Edit Mode

  • Navigate between tabs to review or modify configurations.

  • Use the same input fields and validations as in the creation process.

General Restrictions

  • Platform limits order:

  • All active limits Should be displayed at the top of the limits list (take into consideration the active and the time range)

  • Time range logic:

    • Define the date range and the specific time frame during which the limit will be active. For example, if the date range is set from 19/1 to 25/1 with a time frame of 23:00 to 8:00, the limit will be applied during those specific hours on each day within that range.
