The challenge

BitRivals needed a complete esports wagering platform that could integrate with multiple gaming APIs, handle real-time matches, process payments securely, and manage a growing Discord community. They required complex features like live bidding, automated stat verification, fraud prevention, and instant payouts, all while maintaining compliance with gambling regulations.

The solution

Architected a full-stack platform using React for the main site and Nuxt for the marketing pages. Built a sophisticated bidding system with WebSocket connections for real-time updates during live matches. Integrated with Riot Games, Steam, and other gaming APIs to automatically verify match results and player stats. Implemented rate limiting and caching to avoid API quota issues. Created Discord bot integration for community management and match notifications. Built secure payment processing with Stripe including escrow functionality for wagered amounts. Added fraud detection by tracking betting patterns and user behavior.

How it is built

React and Vue.js/Nuxt for frontend with different rendering strategies. Node.js backend with Express for API routes. Socket.io for real-time bidding and match updates. Discord.js for bot integration. Stripe API for payment processing and Connect for payouts. Redis for caching game stats and rate limiting. Postgres database for user data and match history.
