- Integrity and Transactional Logs: Safe, immutable recording of system handshakes, connection hashes, and regulatory audit packets ensuring bets are recorded transparently as required by national gaming acts.
- Technical & Portal Diagnostics: Web browser details, IP address logs, cookie analytics, and user navigation behavior on our marketing portals.
