A new practice — iGaming

A wallet that cannot lose money.

Player balances that can't go negative, can't be paid out twice, and hold up when a regulator comes asking — built on TigerBeetle, a financial-grade database already used by real payment companies.

It happens more often than you'd think.

01 / The cost

This isn't one company's bad luck. Across the industry, thousands of players run into a wrong balance every year — and the money involved adds up quickly.

Scale of one incident
35,000+

player accounts wrongly credited by a single software fault this year — the kind of mistake that can hit any large operator without warning

Money at stake
$10.7M

paid back to players last year after disputes over missing, delayed or wrongly handled funds, tracked by an independent industry watchdog

How often it happens
~10 a day

balance and payment disputes resolved by that same watchdog last year — nearly 3,800 in total, and that's just the ones that got reported

None of this happens because someone tried to cheat the system. It happens because most systems have no built-in way to catch their own mistakes.

Casino money moves fast. Most databases weren't built for it.

02 / The cause

Every bet, win and refund is a change to someone's balance. Popular games generate an enormous number of these changes, all at once — and when two happen at the same instant, an ordinary database can lose track.

How fast
400,000+

bets placed every minute on a single popular game, worldwide — each one a balance to update, instantly

What goes wrong
Two at once

a bet and a payout landing in the same instant can confuse an ordinary database — leaving a balance negative, or a win paid out twice

Who's watching
The regulator

licensing bodies in the UK, Malta, Brazil and beyond now require operators to prove, on a schedule, that every balance is accurate and every player's money is safely set aside

This isn't a coding-quality problem. It's an architecture problem — and it needs an architecture fix.

Put the money on rails built for money.

03 / The fix

A century ago, banks solved this with double-entry bookkeeping: every transaction recorded twice, so the books always balance. We use TigerBeetle — a modern database built the same way, purpose-made for tracking money — so mistakes aren't just easier to catch. Many of them become impossible.

Negative balances
Not possible

a bet that would overdraw a player's account is rejected automatically — the database itself won't allow it

Duplicate payouts
Not possible

if the same payment is accidentally sent twice, the system recognizes it and only applies it once

Already proven
100M+

transactions processed every month by real payment companies already running this technology

Built to survive failure
6 copies

of your data kept in sync across different data centers, so a single outage can never lose a transaction

No casino has claimed this publicly yet — which means being early is still an advantage, not a risk.

Start safe, or go all-in — your call.

04 / Two paths

Nobody hands a new vendor the keys to their money on day one. So we built a path that doesn't ask you to.

Start here

A shadow ledger

We run the new system quietly alongside your existing wallet, comparing every transaction in real time. If anything doesn't match, you know within minutes — not at month-end. Your live system doesn't change.

4–8 weeks, fixed price
When you're ready

Replace the wallet

For operators leaving a white-label platform, or outgrowing what their current system handles. We build the new wallet, run it alongside the old one until it's proven correct, then switch over — reversible until you're sure.

About 4–5 months

Every engagement starts with a two-week audit: we map your current system, show you exactly where the risk sits, and hand you a plan — yours to use with us or without us.

Is this you?

05 / Who it's for

A quick read on whether this is worth a conversation.

Good fit

Worth a conversation

You're growing past what your current system comfortably handles.

You're leaving a white-label platform and owning a wallet for the first time.

You've had a balance incident, or you're worried you might.

You're preparing for a regulatory audit or entering a new licensed market.

Not yet

Might not be the moment

You're small, and your platform provider still owns your wallet.

You already run an in-house team doing this at scale.

Money accuracy isn't a current priority.

Usually the conversation starts with a CTO, Head of Payments, or Head of Compliance — but anyone worried about the number being right is the right person to talk to.

Start with a two-week wallet audit.

06 / The ask

We look at your current system, show you exactly where the risk is, and hand you a plan — yours to use with us or without us. If your wallet is fine, you'll have the proof. If it isn't, you'll know before the regulator does.

01

Wallet audit

2–3 weeks, fixed price. You get a clear picture of your risk and a plan — useful on its own.

02

Build

A shadow ledger or a full wallet rebuild — scoped and priced upfront, typically $30–80k.

03

Ongoing support

We keep the system current and help you add new payment or game partners as you grow.
