Case Study: Ladbrokes Coral boosts sportsbook performance and handles Grand National peak traffic with Symphony Solutions

Ladbrokes Coral handles 2M+ visits with Symphony Solutions

Symphony Solutions was engaged by Ladbrokes Coral, a UK iGaming giant, to address a challenge with their sportsbook betting platform. The client needed to significantly improve the front-end and back-end performance of their platform to handle the immense, annually increasing peak loads experienced during major UK sporting events like The Grand National, which brings a huge volume of concurrent users and transactions.

To meet this challenge, Symphony Solutions formed a dedicated team and extended the client's existing resources with performance test engineers. Their solution involved conducting regular performance tests, optimizing the front-end for speed, and implementing a scalable AWS solution for the back-end. The results for Ladbrokes Coral were remarkable, proven during The Grand National 2019 when the platform handled over 2 million visits and more than 25,000 transactions per minute with no downtime. This performance boost led to increased customer satisfaction, improved brand reputation, and a direct increase in revenue for the client.
