Huddle’s reliable technology ensures uninterrupted access to odds and live betting opportunities, directly influencing customer engagement and, ultimately, revenue. And during the critical moments of the NBA season, this reliability becomes a game-changer.

We also took a deeper look into how often a Tier 1 operator aligned their pricing with Huddle’s.

Uptime Comparison: Huddle vs The Market

The bar chart highlights average uptime performance during the NBA Conference Semifinals (Games 1-3):

• Huddle: 89% uptime

Huddle's superior uptime shows a clear competitive edge in infrastructure reliability, making it a preferred choice for operators aiming to deliver consistent, real-time betting experiences.
