Integration

Integration (UOF)

Producer masking

As a prerequisite, a client must be on the UOF, and MTS will need to switch the client's validation to validate against the bookmaker-specific feed, also known as a Delta Offer. No additional integration is required as long as all MTS integration and sportsbook testing have been completed. Clients will have to agree to a commercial contract to use the Alpha Odds service before a simple configuration is applied on the MTS side to enable the service.

Sportsbook testing (UOF)

Clients are required to carry out testing.

The purpose of the testing is to ensure all the requisites listed below are met.

Various steps in the testing process validate the integration with the Unified Odds Feed and MTS while ensuring the production system is not affected during the certification.

Integration (MTS)

Existing clients integrating Alpha Odds are required to pass the UOF Sportsbook Test and undergo a brief verification process with our MTS Client Integration Engineers.

Client requisites

Live

The client must have LO.

The client must not use Betpal for manual trading of events.

The client must not use Sportradar’s Probabilities / CashOut (Available on request to use both solutions).

The client must not use Custom Bet (the feature returns an error for LDO events). (The solution to use Live Custom Bet: The client must use Transaction 3.0 and the Harmonization feature in Ctrl.)

Pre-match

Clients with multiple active MTS sub-accounts may require account restructuring to ensure the odds values for each sub-account do not disrupt each other.
