Delivery Options
Prediction Markets is available through two delivery paths: Standalone integration, where your platform connects directly to our APIs and embeds the widget, and Bundled integration, available to operators already running SOFTSWISS Sportsbook.
What is SOFTSWISS Sportsbook?
SOFTSWISS Sportsbook is a white-label sports betting platform that handles wallet infrastructure, session management, and widget embedding on behalf of operators. If you are already live on SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, the bundled path lets you enable Prediction Markets as a feature rather than a full integration.
If you are not on SOFTSWISS Sportsbook, the standalone path is the appropriate choice.
Comparison
| Criterion | Standalone | Bundled |
|---|---|---|
| Integration effort | Full (3 wallet endpoints + HMAC + auth + widget) | None (inherited from Sportsbook) |
| Wallet endpoints | Operator implements deposit, withdraw, and rollback | Handled by the Sportsbook integration |
| Authentication | Operator implements session flow and JWT | Inherited from Sportsbook session |
| Widget embedding | Operator embeds iFrame | Already embedded via Sportsbook |
| Who owns what | Operator owns all integration touchpoints | Sportsbook handles infrastructure; operator manages content |
| Time to go-live | Days, depending on wallet implementation | Hours — enable the feature, verify, go live |
Standalone
The standalone path gives operators full control over the integration. You implement three wallet endpoints (deposit, withdraw, rollback) on your backend, configure HMAC-SHA256 signing for security, complete the authentication session flow so the widget can obtain a platform JWT, and embed the iFrame in your frontend.
This path is appropriate for operators who are not on SOFTSWISS Sportsbook and want direct integration with their own wallet and session infrastructure. The platform is designed to minimize surface area — three endpoints is all that stands between your wallet and live Prediction Markets.
The widget is fully customizable to match your platform branding — colors, typography, layout, and theme are configured during onboarding. Bettors see a native experience.
The tradeoff is implementation time. How long it takes depends primarily on the complexity of your wallet backend and how quickly you can expose and test the three endpoints.
Bundled
The bundled path is available to operators already running SOFTSWISS Sportsbook. Wallet endpoints, authentication, and widget embedding are handled at the Sportsbook layer. From the operator's perspective, enabling Prediction Markets is a configuration step rather than an engineering project.
This path eliminates integration work but requires SOFTSWISS Sportsbook as a prerequisite. Operators on this path do not implement wallet endpoints or session flows directly — that infrastructure is already in place.
The tradeoff is dependency on the Sportsbook platform. Operators who want to integrate Prediction Markets independently of SOFTSWISS Sportsbook should use the standalone path.
