Regional Deployments for iGaming

X1 Contra 1
Key Highlights
When players bet real money on the outcome of a match, every millisecond matters. Edgegap's patented decision-making system automatically deploys servers at the optimal location for each 1v1 session, ensuring a consistent and fair experience that players can trust.
Edgegap's just-in-time, pay-per-use pricing means X1 Contra1 only pays for active matches, a natural fit for a platform where server demand mirrors player activity in real time.
The Company
X1 Contra1 is a Brazilian digital gaming platform focused on PvP competition. Players go up against one another across a variety of mobile games, including snooker and a minesweeper-style title, wagering and winning real money in a secure, fair environment.
The Challenge
Real-money competition raises the stakes for infrastructure in ways that typical gaming does not. A laggy connection or inconsistent server performance is not just a frustrating experience, it is a perceived unfair one. For X1 Contra1, ensuring every player enters a 1v1 match on equal technical footing was fundamental to maintaining trust in the platform. At the same time, a session-driven model meant paying for idle server capacity was simply not viable.
The Solution
Edgegap's regionless edge network ensured X1 Contra1 could deploy game servers close to their Brazilian player base, minimizing latency and keeping each match on equal footing. The usage-based pricing model aligned naturally with the platform's session-driven architecture, keeping costs proportional to actual play without idle server overhead.
For a platform operating in the regulated real-money gaming space, data residency is not optional. Edgegap's regionless network allowed X1 Contra1 to keep player data and game sessions within Brazil, supporting the platform's compliance requirements with local data sovereignty and legal regulations without sacrificing performance or coverage.
