Delivery options

Two products, three ways to buy them

Two products, three ways to buy them. The two products are genuinely different and the site documents them at length: who holds the ledger, who operates the platform, who the wallet of record is. The third way in is not a third product. It is the managed platform with the first weeks delivered, and every capability answer underneath it is the managed platform's.

Which is why this page is about how much of the launch we do, rather than about which product you get. The product overview is the page about that.

What you run yourself

On an API integration, the platform: the ledger, both balances, redemption, the front end and the operational load that comes with all of it. On the managed platform, your brand and your commercial decisions — and the front end, unless you buy the delivery.

On every route, without exception: your acquiring, your legal position, your marketing and your identity verification. Those four are the ones people most often expect a package to absorb, and no package does.

What we deliver

A delivered launch — turnkey, or white label if that is the word you arrived with — is the managed platform with the first weeks done for you. Four things arrive:

• A branded front end and lobby
• Content selection and state configuration
• A marketing site and the domain live
• Go-live support and a handover

What each of those covers, how a delivery actually runs, who owns the front-end code afterwards and when this is the wrong thing to buy are all set out on the delivery page. It is worth reading the section about what a delivery does not include before you decide it solves a problem you have.

How to tell which one you need

By what you already have, not by budget. Budget tells you what you can afford; this tells you what you would be buying twice.

• You have a platform, a ledger and engineersThe API integrationYou are buying the sweepstakes layer and the catalogue, not a platform. Moving off a ledger that already works is a project with no prize at the end of it.
• You have a brand, a commercial team and no ledgerThe managed platformYou want to make product decisions rather than operate infrastructure. The front end is yours to build, which suits a team that has a designer and an opinion.
• You have a market and an idea and no engineeringA delivered launchYou need the front end to be somebody's job. Buy the delivery, keep the brand, and spend the first quarter on traffic rather than on a build.

If none of the three describes you, the launch guide is the better starting point — it walks the ten steps in the order they have to happen, and the route decision is only the third of them.

Where you are today

Three situations with their own decisions, as distinct from the question of which product you buy.

What none of them changes

• The ledger model. Whoever holds it, both currencies stay separate and every round settles in the currency it was launched in.
• The redemption policy values. Thresholds, holds and the verification requirement are yours to set on every route.
• Acquiring, the rolling reserve, legal, marketing and identity verification. All yours, on every route, in every package.
• The obligation. A compliance position that changes without asking you is a compliance position you carry, whoever built your lobby.

A buyer choosing a delivery to avoid the payments work has misunderstood the offer, and it is better to read that here than to discover it on a call.
