Altenar has enhanced the way bets are accepted through its sportsbook thanks to a new proprietary algorithm.
This upgraded approach to bet acceptance marks a major improvement in the live betting user experience, enabling operators to accept more wagers while the action is still unfolding.
In this guide, we explain how the new bet acceptance logic works and the key benefits for all stakeholders.
How Bet Acceptance Works
The new Bet Acceptance feature is powered by a proprietary algorithm developed by Altenar’s experts. It introduces an alternative logic for when in-play bets are accepted after the live bet delay has been confirmed.
Prices in certain markets can fluctuate rapidly, but this algorithm filters out the “noise” from minor odds changes. As a result, users can place bets at the odds they originally selected—even if those odds shift slightly during the bet delay.
Problems Bet Acceptance Logic Solves
Altenar’s updated Bet Acceptance logic addresses one of the oldest frustrations in online sports betting.
Previously, bettors placing live bets were presented with three options:
-
Accept any odds change
-
Accept only higher odds
-
Prompt on any odds change
All three choices often led to a subpar user experience. Option one left bettors unsure of their final odds, while options two and three caused frustration—especially in fast-moving markets with frequent odds fluctuations.
This resulted in fewer live bets being placed, lowering operator revenue and weakening the player experience.
Benefits of Bet Acceptance Logic for Users
Now, nearly all live bets placed through Altenar’s sportsbook are accepted, as long as there are no fundamental changes in the event itself. This reduces the frustration bettors face and allows for more selections to be confidently added to the betslip.
The acceptance logic is fully customizable, allowing operators to align settings with their strategic goals.
Comparison With Competitive Solutions
Altenar’s proprietary algorithm stands out as one of the most advanced in the industry, providing clear value to both players and operators.
While live betting is a standard offering among sportsbooks today, the quality of the user experience varies widely. Many platforms still reject bets due to minor odds movements, creating unnecessary friction for players.
Conclusion
Live betting has become one of the most significant trends in sports betting, offering users the ability to engage with games as they happen.
Being able to place bets during the game keeps excitement levels high and reduces dependence on pre-match markets—making live betting capabilities crucial for long-term player retention.
The ability to accept far more live bets has revolutionized the user experience and positions operators to fully capitalize on the continued growth of in-play wagering.
