Start a sportsbook without a feed contract

The two halves of a sportsbook

The data: sports and leagues, fixtures, markets whose prices move and pause when something happens on the pitch, scores, and the result of every bet. That is the feed.

The platform: accounts, wallets and payments, the bet slip and bet acceptance, limits, risk and liability, your front end. That is yours, built or bought from a platform provider. The feed is the data, not the platform: bet placement, the bet slip, wallets, payments, risk, cash-out and bet builder stay with your sportsbook platform.

The usual way to get the data

$750 a month. Sportsbook feeds start around $5,000, with a contract. The usual route is a contact form, a demo meeting, a contract and a bank transfer, and weeks before your first call to the API.

The way here

1. Look: Watch the live odds and the latest settled results on the site, no signup.
2. Build on the trial: sign up and get a key at once. Its first API call starts 14 days of full Pro, settlement included, so you build your menu, event pages, bet slip checks and payouts on real matches.
3. Go live: pay $750 for a month (or $7,500 for a year) in crypto; the same key sees every event as soon as the payment is seen on the network.

What to build first

1. The menu and event lists from the catalogue calls.
2. A WebSocket connection that keeps markets, prices and scores current.
3. A bet slip check: price and status of every leg right before you accept.
4. Payouts from the settlement rows, each applied once.

The quick start has the first calls; the sportsbook guide the rest.
