Riak has been used by bet365 for the past five years so they are no stranger to the tech used. bet365 uses one of the Riak components in its bet placement system, which it scales out horizontally, and all data issues are resolved by Riak.

Bash and bet365 have a lot of history


bet365 have been a big user of Basho for the past few years, so they know that their Riak product is top quality. Basho provides an enterprise version of the open source Riak product. Andrew Deane, who is bet365’s systems development manager for middleware, stated: “This is the first time I’ve experienced a large enterprise take on and support an open source product and its community.” However in recent time, Basho have had some financial difficulties, going into receivership. Due to Riak being a highly valuable asset for bet365, they decided to secure the rights to the product, which supports multi-datacentre replication. bet365 view the ongoing improvement of Riak as a community project and will make the enterprise version available as open source.
