Case Study: Betclic achieves 40% bandwidth savings and 30:1 client-to-server consolidation with Citrix NetScaler

Betclic A European leader in online gaming

Betclic, part of the Betclic Everest Group, is a leading online gaming operator serving over one million customers across 100 countries. Rapid international growth and differing local regulatory and infrastructure requirements meant Betclic needed a cost‑effective, highly available and responsive web platform that could handle demand spikes and maintain consistent service levels worldwide.

The company deployed Citrix NetScaler MPX appliances to provide load balancing, SSL offload, compression and intelligent HTTP routing, shaving infrastructure and bandwidth needs while speeding page loads. The solution lets core sites run on just 12 web servers each, reduced client connections from ~50–60k to ~2k (a 30:1 ratio), handles ~5,000 SSL transactions/second, cut bandwidth costs by 40%, and simplified configuration, roll‑out and training—supporting growth while meeting local requirements.
