About the project

Overview

Mavrik needed more than a responsive casino web application. It needed a secure, scalable digital gaming experience that could bring together compliant onboarding, trusted payments, real-time engagement, and location-based access control. GeekyAnts built the platform using Next.js as the core frontend framework, enabling a dynamic and SEO-friendly casino application.

BUSINESS REQUIREMENT

Mavrik needed a casino web application that supported automated KYC verification, secure deposits and withdrawals, real-time notifications, geofencing for regulatory compliance, and smooth deployment and scalability.

Key Requirements

Automated KYC verification through Veriff

Secure deposits through Paysafe and withdrawals through AptPay

Real-time notifications and live updates through Pusher

Geofencing for compliance through Radar

Smooth frontend deployment and scalability through AWS Amplify

CHALLENGES WE SOLVED

Some APIs, including the withdrawal flow, were not delivered on time, creating integration bottlenecks. Unclear flow clarifications, evolving requirements, and inconsistent Swagger documentation added further delays, so GeekyAnts reprioritized sprint deliverables while waiting for delayed API access. Ensuring KYC, payments, and geolocation compliance required frequent testing and close collaboration with Mavrik's team, so GeekyAnts conducted regression and compliance testing in each sprint. Multiple stakeholders across backend, compliance, and DevOps functions required tighter coordination to avoid misaligned expectations and delayed approvals, so GeekyAnts maintained close collaboration with Mavrik's team throughout API integration.

SOLUTION

GeekyAnts built a scalable, compliance-ready frontend for Mavrik's igaming casino web application using Next.js. The team used React Query to manage API data fetching and state synchronization, integrated Veriff for KYC, connected Paysafe and AptPay for secure deposit and withdrawal flows, and implemented Pusher and Radar to support real-time notifications and jurisdiction-based access control. The application was deployed through AWS Amplify for streamlined frontend hosting, updates, and scaling. 

Backend services, infrastructure, APIs, and design remained under Mavrik's ownership. GeekyAnts' scope focused on delivering the frontend foundation and integrating client-provided systems into a production-ready casino experience.

OUR APPROACH

GeekyAnts followed a fixed-scope engagement model, executing the project through Agile sprints with defined milestones. The engagement covered frontend services only, with API and design provided by Mavrik.

  • We began with UI setup, responsive design, and basic flows, including login, registration, and the user dashboard.

RESULTS

GeekyAnts delivered a fully functional casino web application for Mavrik. The platform reduced manual KYC verification through automated Veriff workflows, enabled secure deposit and withdrawal flows through Paysafe and AptPay, improved engagement and retention with real-time notifications through Pusher, enforced location-based restrictions through Radar, and streamlined deployment and updates through AWS Amplify CI/CD pipelines.
