We adopted a comprehensive strategy and deployed several strategic initiatives to address the complex problems at hand. Our first step involved seamlessly integrating content from Yahoo and ESPN’s Player versus Player (1 v 1) and Team versus Team fantasy leagues. We aimed to offer users a wide variety of fantasy leagues to choose from which enhanced their overall experience by leveraging Yahoo’s open API and creating a unique Chrome browser extension for ESPN data import.

We put in place a meticulous procedure for manual player data updates to address the issue of inconsistent data feeds from SportData’s API. By taking a proactive approach, we were able to maintain the accuracy and timeliness of player data, including availability and projections, and increase user confidence in the platform’s data quality.

We introduced a modular platform architecture because we needed to be able to scale and expand in the future. This architectural change not only removed barriers that had previously been present but also opened the door for the seamless incorporation of new sports. By doing this, we significantly decreased the amount of time and money needed to develop new sports for the platform.

We swiftly switched from Stripe to Dwolla in response to evolving payment processing needs when it became clear that Stripe wasn’t appropriate for betting platforms. Dwolla proved to be a workable alternative payment solution despite its limitation to ACH bank transfers, ensuring seamless and secure transactions for our users. We also put a lot of emphasis on thorough testing, performing in-depth analyses of both the frontend and backend code to ensure a robust application that could withstand the rigors of real-world usage.
