OddsJam acquisition: what mattered in technical diligence

OddsJam was acquired by Gambling.com after proving that its high-frequency betting analytics platform could scale reliably. This piece focuses on the technical themes that mattered in diligence, not on undisclosed financial terms.

Written by Aravind Srinivas, early engineer at Rupa Health and Founder & CEO of HyperNest Labs. This article reflects public information and operator perspective—no speculation on confidential details.

The nature of the product: high-volume, real-time data

OddsJam ingested and processed constantly-changing odds across sportsbooks. That meant the platform lived or died on latency, correctness, and stability—exactly the surfaces acquirers care about.

From an engineering perspective, this required careful streaming design, resilient caching, and a clear understanding of failure modes under peak load.

What technical diligence actually looked at

  • End-to-end latency from ingest to user-visible surfaces.
  • Observability around data quality, outages, and degraded modes.
  • Documentation showing how incidents were detected and resolved.
  • Infra cost profiles and how they would behave at higher scale.

Patterns other analytics products can reuse

  • Make latency and correctness first-class metrics in your dashboards.
  • Document your ingestion, processing, and serving layers in language investors understand.
  • Pair any performance win with a clear impact on user outcomes or revenue.
