Case Study: Wenty Leagues Club achieves 99.999% uptime for cashless gaming and member services with Stratus Technologies ftServer

Mission-Critical Transaction Processing Is A Win For Cashless Gaming And Customer Loyalty

Wenty Leagues Club, a 34,000‑member community club near Sydney, faced a critical reliability challenge after pioneering a card‑based cashless gaming system. Because the system handles members’ money and drives loyalty, the club needed “five nines” uptime, seamless operation with Microsoft‑based gaming applications, simple management by a small IT team, and a cost‑effective platform — requirements unmet by their original server hardware.

The club deployed a Stratus ftServer platform with ftScalable storage running Windows Server and SQL Server and eBET gaming applications, giving fault‑tolerant processing, automatic call‑home diagnostics, and proactive component replacement. The result was industry‑leading availability (99.999%+), uninterrupted cashless gaming, loyalty and paging services, simplified management for two IT staff, and peace of mind that member transactions and audit trails remain secure and always online.
