Begin with the exact competitions and in-play markets your sportsbook needs. Then compare delivery, event booking, suspension and settlement behaviour. Latency needs a defined measurement point and contractual commitment; a generic real-time label is not a numerical SLA.

Engineering and trading should test disconnections, recovery, duplicate or out-of-order updates, cancelled events and settlement corrections. Confirm which duties remain with the operator. This hub lists actual feed offerings from EveryMatrix, Kambi and Sportradar, not every platform that can display live betting.

Latency

What measurement and service commitment applies?

Buyer questions, answered

What qualifies as a live-odds product here?

An officially documented feed or service supplying in-play prices to an operator, rather than merely a platform’s live-betting feature.

Does “real time” mean the same latency for every supplier?

No. Compare timestamp definitions, delivery path, monitoring and contracted service levels.

What should be tested beyond normal price updates?

Market suspensions, reconnect recovery, event mapping and settlement corrections are useful acceptance scenarios.
