Tabcorp launched its Luxbet brand in 2008 to address 2 major consumer trends. The first was the increase in digital retail channels (online & mobile); the second, the shift to fixed odds betting away from traditional totaliser products.
By launching Luxbet, Tabcorp was able to compete with other corporate bookmakers that were entering the market free of Victorian regulatory and compliance rules that often slowed Tabcorp’s speed to market.
The Fixed Odds Next Generation (FONG) project was initiated to phase out and decommission Tabcorp’s legacy host system to allow it to run its fixed odds activities from Luxbet’s host system, Wager Player. Tabcorp’s fixed odds host system was nearing the end of its life and faced challenges such as unsupported infrastructure, limited software support, high maintenance costs and limitations to product development.
Luxbet was driven by continuous business demands for rapid innovation and speed in the delivery of FONG. The team quickly identified they needed a powerful team, in both size and capability, they also faced infrastructure and technological limitations. Luxbet looked to DXCPS for its experience, skill set, alternative delivery model and collaborative partnership approach.
A trusting relationship has been developed between Tabcorp and DXCPS through the delivery of quality consulting services, over the past 5 years. The strength of the relationship has been built on providing highly skilled and reliable consultants, flexibility in engagements and a truly integrated partnership.
As part of an integrated team, DXCPS worked to seamlessly embed a development cell in the Luxbet team to deliver work packages in compliance with Luxbet’s Agile framework. Tools such as GitHub and Jira were leveraged to adhere to development and continuous integration standards.
