What are Managed Services in iGaming?

Definition: Managed services are operational functions that a B2B provider runs on behalf of an operator, on top of supplying the platform.

Functions commonly covered:

Customer support - multilingual chat and email support for players.
Risk management - bet monitoring, limits, fraud checks.
KYC and responsible gaming checks - document review, account reviews.
CRM operations - campaign setup and segmentation.
Sportsbook trading - pricing and liability management.

How it is agreed: scope, working hours, languages and response times are set in the contract and the SLA. The operator keeps responsibility for its licence and decides which functions to keep in-house.

Why it matters: managed services let an operator launch and scale brands with a smaller in-house operation.
