Blueprint Gaming had been using an incumbent SIEM tool that offered technology but not the expertise and operational support of a fully managed SOC.
As a lean infrastructure team operating in a high-risk, data-intensive industry, Blueprint needed:
Without additional specialist resources, maintaining a proactive security posture was becoming increasingly challenging.
Blueprint selected Continent 8’s Managed Security Operations Centre (MSOC) — a complete, fully managed security service integrating an advanced SIEM platform operated by Continent 8’s cybersecurity specialists.
Key capabilities delivered included:
This combination of technology, people, and process provided the 24/7 monitoring and threat response Blueprint required – without increasing internal workload.
Continent 8 delivered a robust managed security solution combining a leading technology stack with expert cybersecurity professionals who operate and manage the environment on Blueprint’s behalf.
Outcomes included:
Adam Shepherd, Head of Infrastructure at Blueprint
“We’re a small team that manages huge volumes of data in a high-risk industry. Managing that effectively – without compromising security – was a real challenge for us. That’s where Continent 8 stepped in, providing a managed SOC service with a strong focus on the threat landscape. They’ve enabled quicker responses to threats and equipped us with simplified dashboards. Working with the team has been a real pleasure.”
Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8
“Blueprint required strong security oversight without adding operational burden to a lean internal team. Our Managed SOC service was designed to deliver exactly that – improving visibility, accelerating threat detection, and optimising log volumes while maintaining a robust security posture. The result is a scalable, cost-efficient security capability aligned to the realities of a high-risk, data-intensive environment.”

surge in virtualisation costs mitigated
virtual appliances migrated seamlessly
to achieve ROI on migration services
for project completion
Sportingtech is a multi-award-winning provider of turnkey betting and gaming solutions designed for regulated and emerging markets around the globe. The omni-channel platform offers solutions for sportsbook, casino and retail betting operators, with over 10,000 products from more than 100 games providers.
With an ‘all-VMware’ virtualised enterprise private cloud architecture, the post-VMware acquisition licensing changes represented a significant cost burden to the business, up to a 42% increase in virtualisation costs.
In search of an experienced service provider to design, plan and execute a migration to a new, more cost-effective virtualised hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), Sportingtech selected Continent 8 Technologies – a Nutanix Authorised Service Provider and current Sportingtech infrastructure and cybersecurity services partner – to provide professional and managed migration services to deliver the project using the Nutanix AHV virtualisation platform.
There were multiple requirements to be met from technical to commercial, with a requirement for minimal operational impact:
Continent 8 proposed and delivered a solution using Nutanix AHV and:
| 1. Availability | 2. Cost | 3. Speed |
|---|---|---|
Continent 8 created a migration plan and schedule which minimised impact to the customer and maximised productivity. By delving into the customer’s key operational requirements and understanding workload utilisation, this plan minimised the chance of failure or impact. During migrations, user experiences remained unaffected, although Continent 8 provided heightened support availability in case of issue or roll-back. | By migrating, Continent 8 was able to demonstrate: • Zero-change hypervisor licensing fees over remaining term of commitment. | Continent 8 performing the work allowed customer’s operational-focused teams to maintain their regular tasks, enabling the project to be undertaken at speed. From engagement to execution, the project was completed on-time and within budget. Continent 8 utilised project management resources to ensure all tasks were completed in order and key milestones achieved. |
Continent 8 successfully orchestrated a VMware-to-Nutanix migration, transitioning to a virtualisation platform that ensures predictable, manageable and lower costs, while circumventing VMware’s 42% increase in licensing fees. The project was executed with minimal-to-zero disruption to Sportingtech’s operations and users, delivering a seamless end-to-end migration experience.
“We are always looking for ways to enhance the solution we build for our customers and to keep costs down. Working with Continent 8, who constantly push to provide efficiencies, cost reductions and value-added expertise, made good sense to us. They continue to be a valued partner and managed to deliver the project on time with no service interruption for us or our customers, which is critical.”
Michael Jack, Chief Technology Officer at Sportingtech
“Continent 8 is able to use its experience with VMware, Nutanix, private and public clouds to provide professional as well as managed services to customers, enabling them to focus on core revenue-generating operations. Being able to demonstrate such a significant saving and ROI will be of interest to many enterprises in today’s market. It’s thanks to the experienced and highly qualified project and cloud engineering staff at Continent 8 that we were able to successfully complete this project, while earning Sportingtech’s trust to manage their critical operational infrastructure.”

Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8 said, “Alea’s three principles of security, scalability and robustness resonate with Continent 8. Given the number of APIs Alea is using, their proactive approach to assessing their business and guaranteeing security for its partners is imperative.
“It’s great to be supporting Alea; we encourage all businesses in this industry to take the cybersecurity threat seriously.”

Continent 8’s Compliance Audit and Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services facilitate the supplier’s annual licensing obligations in the Keystone State.
ODDSworks, a leader in Remote Gaming Server technology and interactive content, specializes in delivering world-class gaming content and interactive technologies for regulated and real-money gaming markets. The ODDSworks game portfolio features a diverse array of proprietary and third-party titles.
As a licensed supplier under the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), ODDSworks was required to conduct and submit a thorough audit of its cybersecurity measures for approval. ODDSworks chose its existing data center hosting partner, Continent 8, the leading provider of infrastructure and cybersecurity services to the iGaming and online sports betting sector, to design and implement an extensive regulatory compliance service, ensuring the content provider successfully met its regulatory requirements.
As an existing licensee offering third-party content to the online casino market, ODDSworks’ technology was already in compliance with the PGCB’s cybersecurity requirements. However, the regulatory body mandated ODDSworks to conduct an annual cybersecurity audit.
The primary challenge was selecting a cybersecurity services provider that was both capable and approved by the PGCB. The regulator is among the most stringent in the US regarding cybersecurity, requiring operators and suppliers to adhere to standards such as:
The audit was conducted by ODDSworks’ existing infrastructure partner, Continent 8 and its specialized cybersecurity division, C8 Secure. They utilized their Compliance Audit and Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) services to assess ODDSworks’ provisions in accordance with the requirements established by the PGCB.
Following the completion of the Compliance Audit and VAPT services, Continent 8 and C8 Secure identified cybersecurity vulnerabilities related to third-party platforms. As a result, ODDSworks required the third-party developers to implement necessary upgrades to comply with the iGaming supplier’s compliance standards.
The audit and VAPT reports were submitted to, and approved by, the PGCB.
Continent 8’s comprehensive regulatory compliance services have strengthened ODDSworks’ cybersecurity framework by validating existing measures, refining operational processes and ensuring their systems are well-equipped to meet evolving regulatory and security requirements.
To date, ODDSworks is pleased to report the absence of cybersecurity incidents and looks forward to continued collaboration with Continent 8 on various cybersecurity initiatives.
Steven DeMar, Executive VP at ODDSworks, said: “At ODDSworks, we are taking cybersecurity seriously – the industry is under attack. Continent 8 has done an incredible job of supporting us through our cybersecurity audit in the state of Pennsylvania. We were impressed by the speed at which the audit was planned, undertaken and reported on, as well as its scope and depth.
“We already knew that Continent 8 was at the top of its game having used its hosting solutions in other US states, but its cybersecurity audit for us shows that it really does set the standard for others to follow.”
Patrick Gardner, Chief Security Officer at Continent 8, said: “Cybersecurity is a hot topic in the online and land-based gaming industry, and ODDSworks are an example of a company that is prioritizing cybersecurity.
“Having cybersecurity provisions in place is not only a must when it comes to protecting the organization, but also when it comes to compliance. Pennsylvania is setting the standard when it comes to protecting the iGaming market.”

Gabriel Szlaifsztein, General Manager – LatAm at Continent 8 Technologies, shares some key insights into its partnership with Betcris and how the operator is leveraging its Public Cloud and DDoS solutions to drive growth in new markets
Entering new markets is a major driver of growth for international operators, allowing them to significantly increase their addressable audience in regulated jurisdictions around the world. But where there are opportunities there are also challenges, and, in most cases, overcoming these challenges requires working with third-party specialists to ensure entry into new markets is smooth and seamless, and that the infrastructure required for long-term success is in place.
Betcris needs no introduction. The Malta-licensed operator has global ambitions and is already live in the Caribbean, the Philippines, Poland, Mexico, Colombia and Peru where it offers players a highly localised and comprehensive online and mobile and sportsbook experience. It is also keeping a close eye on key jurisdictions on the cusp of regulation, such as Brazil where parent company TV Global Enterprises has already pledged to make a significant investment.
The operator is fully aware of the challenges that come with international expansion and first reached out to Continent 8 Technologies back in 2019. The company shared its new market expansion plan with our team and acknowledged that it needed an infrastructure partner to support its growth as and when jurisdictions opened up. In particular, it needed a partner that was compliant with these newly regulated markets and understood the often-complex regulations in place. It also needed flexibility and reach.
Security was a consideration, too. With the volume and sophistication of cyber-attacks on the rise across the global online gambling industry and beyond, Betcris wanted to ensure that its systems and data were as safe and secure as they could be.
As the leading provider of managed hosting, connectivity and security to the gambling industry, Continent 8 was unrivalled in its ability to support Betcris. Over the past two decades, we have built a network of 85+ connected locations across four continents and a comprehensive suite of solutions that allow operators and suppliers to scale their business in a highly secure environment. Having assessed Betcris’ needs, we suggested the operator leverage our Public Cloud hosting via Malta, a platform which includes DDoS protection as standard.
Our Public Cloud solution offers customers a multi-tenanted, scalable and resilient IaaS platform that allows them to host infrastructure as virtual machines. It is available in a number of Continent 8 locations including Dublin, Isle of Man, Atlantic City, Montreal and of course Malta.
Meanwhile, our DDoS services, built over many years, use an optimised combination of technologies and our customised development layer. We work with key technology partners for our monitoring, detection and mitigation environment.
A key benefit to Betcris using the cloud is that it removes the need for ongoing hardware investment which in turn provides the flexibility to pay for resources based on consumption. We also fully manage the cloud environment, removing the need for the operator to maintain and support infrastructure. Instead, it can focus on growing its business including entering new markets. What’s more, Betcris has been able to expand into new markets easily, thanks to our interconnected network, with the peace of mind that data is safe and secure and that it is doing all it can to fend off cyber-attacks.
By selecting Continent 8 as its infrastructure partner, Betcris has put in place the foundation it needs for long-term growth and success in both new and existing markets. These partnerships are key for Continent 8, and we pride ourselves on building strong relationships with our customers.
We have ambitious expansion plans of our own as part of our first-to-market strategy, with launches in LatAm jurisdictions such as Brazil, Argentina and Chile on the horizon. Our roadmap is vast, we are growing rapidly, and our ability to launch quickly and in line with our operators’ visions is what sets us apart.
In addition, in all markets, we work closely with the regulator to fully understand the requirements in place, and also share our experience and knowledge to help them develop their frameworks to meet the highest possible standards. Regulation can be complex, so operators need to have confidence in their strategic partners and we have the knowledge and experience to offer this.
We are incredibly proud of our partnership with Betcris and the success the operator has enjoyed since using our Public Cloud and DDoS solution. This is what Fernando Garita, Commercial Director at Betcris, has to say about Continent 8 and our solutions:
“Continent 8’s ability to provide services in different countries around the world in an agile and efficient manner has aligned perfectly with our growth strategy, making Continent 8 a trusted provider.”
New market expansion is key to operator growth, but it must be done in the right way and via a cutting-edge infrastructure that facilitates seamless launches while also protecting systems and data. From ambitious start-ups to global dominant players, it’s important to be in the driving seat to successfully deploy a sportsbook or casino brand in markets around the world.
José Hernández – Betcris IT Director, believes the company’s decision to use Continent 8 was the right one:
“Since we made the decision to use one of Continent 8’s Data Centers, we have had an excellent experience, providing us with a robust and above all, reliable cloud environment. Also, since working with Continent 8, we’ve not experienced any reduction in our service, which has only reiterated to us that we made the best decision when we chose them as part of our technological family. Their support function is always there to help round the clock. As a result of their excellent service, our company recommends them 100%.”
