handle Market Origination, Management and Settlement across both pre live and in running markets. The required solution will manage all the risk and trading elements of the fixed odds product including customer risk profiling
and management and must include a robust and fit for purpose report generation facility with easy access to appropriate reports and data. The solution should have a capability for to add on virtual products and e-gaming.
The objective of the framework will be to expand the business currently conducted by Tote to encompass an extensive range of sports with a greatly enhanced participant pool of customers.
