In 2020, Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming launched Hard Rock Digital to develop a compliant and highly available sports betting application, leveraging their extensive customer database and venue network. The primary challenges faced were ensuring compliance with stringent gambling regulations, particularly The Federal Wire Act, and maintaining high availability to support a large number of concurrent users across multiple regions. To address these needs, Hard Rock Digital chose CockroachDB for its ability to offer high availability, data pinning to comply with state regulations, horizontal scalability, and automated operations, all while supporting a hybrid infrastructure on AWS. The application architecture, built on a foundation compatible with Postgres and running on AWS Outposts, ensures compliance by placing CockroachDB gateway nodes in each state where the service is offered, facilitating seamless multi-state operations. Less than a year after launch, the Sportsbook application expanded to several states and aims to become a top sports betting app by 2024, uniquely allowing users to place bets across state lines while maintaining compliance.
