Caliente. mx

Caliente. mx is Mexico's first online gaming and sports betting platform. It guarantees safe and comfortable online gaming and betting for more than 220 million customers every month. In addition to slot machines, blackjack and other well-known casino games, the website allows players to bet in real time on ongoing sports competitions.

It broadcasts sports matches from all over the world, including international leagues (NFL, NBA, Champions League, etc.), national leagues (LMB, LNBP) and major tournaments.

The task: finding the right balance between security, scalability and ease of use.

Caliente. mx is in the top 10 most popular websites in Mexico and operates in a market with annual revenues from regulated online gaming of over $500 million. This revenue continues to grow, with Mexico's population of 128 million and a mobile and online penetration rate of over 90%.

To benefit from this upturn, Caliente. mx had clear values: above all, data security. Caliente. mx wanted to protect its customers from fraud and ensure the security of their financial and personally identifiable information (PII), while also ensuring the security of its own internal data and cloud infrastructure.

"Our biggest problem was malicious third parties trying to access users' accounts and personal information, either manually or through automated bots," said Gross. "Stopping these attacks was key to standing out and gaining customer trust. In fact, we owed it to the nobility to have everyone trust us."

Caliente. mx's next challenge was to improve the performance and scalability of its website. To provide its customers with the best experience in betting and watching sports, it needed to stream content in real time to ensure accurate betting. Regardless of the size of its operation, the number of players, or whether customers access the website in Mexico, Central America, or South America, it was necessary to ensure that there was no delay in its service.

"Our service had to be as fast as or faster than broadcast television. We didn't want to give our customers outdated information," Gross said. "We needed a streaming and content delivery solution that would provide the highest throughput and lowest latency, not just for the U. S., but for our entire customer base."

Ultimately, the company wanted a solution that was as easy to implement and maintain as possible.

"We always had to secure the safety and productivity of the system at the same time." We needed a single solution to provide the most secure and quick game process for users.

Caliente wanted to eliminate the difficulties due to support systems and different vendors in order to focus on improving and maintaining Caliente. mx work and maintaining customers.

Solution: A single solutio n-websites and infrastructure protectio n-Applicatio n-Service s-Service s-Service s-Service s-Services

As a result of examining multiple network services and security system vendors, Caliente. MX chose Cloudflare. The single CloudFlare platform was able to compete against competitors with the flexibility of integrated platforms, abundant functionality, and a wide range of global networks.

"CloudFlare has provided everything we need. CloudFlare has presented everything we need." Our needs, up to servers in Mexico cities. It was a comprehensive solution with an optimized tool to meet all.

Caliente. MX has traveled by introducing security services and performance in the CloudFlare application. In cooperation with the CloudFlare team, the security tools and analysts are integrated into the CloudFlare interface, and the Caliente. Bot Management is used to protect data from the threat of deletion and collectors of accounting data. The single truth source provided by integrated decisio n-making has immediately improved the company's visibility to the team.

"Knowledge is power. By analyzing data via cloudflare, customers can protect the funds and information of the customer better, and they can quickly identify and eliminate vulnerabilities that were not noticed before. "Cloudflare has improved our security system and greatly reduced the number of attacks on customers.

In addition, Caliente. mx has adopted CloudFlare to optimize internal security and to protect and simplify the company's goal, employee access to cloud drills. The CloudFlare Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) tools have easily protected external access to internal web applications and content management systems.

"Zero Trust can protect the secret work environment without special equipment or outdated tools," Glos says. "CloudFlare has no problems with classical VPN, which is more harmless, at least at the technical level of us, with all opportunities for employees to do their own work. The confirmation of our splash is deemed to have access rights, and we occasionally receive requests from employees who want to enter the system to do our own work.

Improve scalability and performance on the support of CloudFlare Developer Platform and the Networ k-Employees and Pages

After protecting its own websites, applications, and employees, Caliente. MX focused on improving user proficiency by increasing website productivity. To that end, the company used CloudFlare Developer Platform along the initiative of vendor integration. CloudFlar e-Employees, pages, streams, and R2 have been added to the company's implementatio n-all are highly dependent, based on tools and development services at the boundaries.

Employees and pages have given the manufacturer team Caliente. mx a modernization of many years of code, economically effective ways to move applications to large networks. By applying the manufacturer platform, Caliente. mx succeeded in agileing services and deploying applications into larg e-scale networks.

"CloudFlare Creator Platform simplifies the work as a creator and makes it easier to control difficult work." CLOUDFLARE supports the code, and the application options, deployment, and configuration are easier. I was able to do it.

CLOUDFLARE CDN, pages, and workers' c o-implementations guarantee the current and dynamic content of Caliente. mx game applications and rea l-time game applications.

Impal distribution of rea l-time video that supports streams

Caliente. MX has also introduced CloudFlar e-Stream to guarantee the perfect distribution of o n-air video broadcasting to improve the user skills afterwards. The introduction of CloudFlar e-strareM at the network boundary to avoid lo w-performance throughout Mexico and the Latin America is the strategy necessary to expand the size of the video broadcast directly with the increase in the number of users of Caliente. mx. It is thought to be part.

"Thanks to CloudFlar e-stream, users can see all events at low delays. There is no work to update the synchronization or coefficient, how to miss the bet, how the neighbors are pleased before they notice the touchdown. I don't have to hear, "Glos says.

Red R2 cost reduction

To further increase productivity and reduce costs for Caliente, R2 will save data on S3-compatible Cloudflare. Cloudflare and other CloudFlare platforms are fully embedded in the employee, high-volume network, and R2 enables Caliente to protect its own data at the border without linking to vendors or fees for accessing them.

"In addition to a responsible increase in performance, R2 will enable Caliente. mx to save thousands of dollars in exit fees every month. "Talks said, "Cloudflare has completely removed these costs, we no longer have costs to absorb across multiple services and cloud providers."

Thanks in part to Cloudflare's excellent performance and assistance in Mexico and throughout Latin America, Caliente. mx plans to further expand its zero trust implementation for the defense of its own offices and production environments.

"We want CloudFlare to guarantee the security of all our internal systems. Communicating in Spanish with CloudFlare teams in the region and in South America makes it easier to exchange information. This strict loyalty to working in Mexico is one of the reasons why we are looking for new ways every day to better adopt CloudFlare's tools.
