A Few Words About The Client

Fantasy Sport is a daily fantasy sports platform where users draft teams, compete in contests, and win prizes based on real-world match performance. Block Intelligence built the contest engine, live scoring, payment flows, and admin tools to run leagues across cricket, football, and other sports.

The client needed a compliant fantasy platform with real-time score updates, fair contest mechanics, and secure wallet/payment handling. They had to support multiple sports, contest formats (head-to-head, mega contests), and clear tax/reporting hooks for payouts.

Project Requirements

  • Player pools, team creation, and salary-cap or credit-based drafting.
  • Live scoring engine synced with match feeds and stat corrections.
  • Contest types: free, paid, private leagues, and guaranteed prize pools.
  • Wallet, deposits, withdrawals, and KYC for paid contests.
  • Admin dashboard for contests, fraud checks, and payout management.

Our Solution & Results

We implemented a contest and scoring backend with WebSocket live updates to the React front end. Payment and wallet modules handle deposits and prize distribution with audit trails. We built admin tools for contest creation, feed monitoring, and dispute resolution.

Fantasy Sport launched with cricket and football contests during live seasons. User engagement and contest fill rates grew week over week. Live scoring accuracy and payout speed received positive user feedback.
