Built for Speed: 3 sportsbook features enabled by Fastbook

Operators can reshape event pages, bet history and parlays through the back office, with no extra development.

Key takeaways

• All three run on Fastbook, the Qwik-based frontend, which achieved a 1.72-second Speed Index and average Lighthouse scores of 90–95.
• GR8 TECH says Fastbook outperformed more than 15 leading igaming B2C platforms in its benchmarking.
• Operators can customise the sportsbook’s basic elements through the Unified Back Office using a widget-based CMS, without additional development.

Press release.- GR8 TECH has recently introduced the fastest frontend on the market. Now, the company is showing what it’s capable of with three important GREAT SPORTSBOOK upgrades: a new Sport Event View, a rebuilt Bet History, and an enhanced Top Parlays widget. All three take full advantage of the upgraded Qwik-based architecture, giving operators more freedom to build a sportsbook around their players without compromising performance.

The new upgraded frontend, also known as Fastbook, has already achieved a 1.72-second Speed Index and average Lighthouse scores of 90–95, outperforming more than 15 leading igaming B2C platforms in GR8 TECH’s benchmarking. But speed is only half the story. The rebuilt architecture unlocks the full potential of a widget-based CMS, allowing operators to customise all basic sportsbook elements directly through Unified Back Office, without additional development.

More control over the sportsbook experience

New sport event view: Every event, your way

With the new widget-based Sport Event View, operators can choose which elements appear, where they sit, and how they’re displayed across live, pre-match, and finished events. Like all GR8 TECH widgets, it’s no-code.

From scoreboards and betting markets to statistics, head-to-head comparisons, video broadcasts, and related events, every component can be arranged to match the brand’s priorities. Context-aware widgets automatically display information relevant to the opened event, eliminating the need for manual content setup.

Operators can also customise market layouts, position Bet Builder and Parlays tabs, and integrate Odds Booster promotions directly into event pages. A sportsbook experience can be shaped around each operator’s audience and priorities.

New bet history: More than a list of bets

GR8 TECH rebuilt Bet History as a flexible widget that can appear on a dedicated page, in a side panel, or elsewhere across the sportsbook.

Players can now see detailed bet information without opening separate pages, track how individual selections have settled, follow live scores, and manage partial cashout more easily. Built-in bet sharing also turns individual bets into branded content that players can share with others, creating another opportunity for organic acquisition.

Operators control how bet cards look, which information appears, how actions are arranged, and which features take priority, all through CMS UBO.

Upgraded top parlays: Betting activity, front and centre

The upgraded Top Parlays widget gives operators more ways to showcase betting combinations and tailor how players discover them. New horizontal layouts, configurable tabs, improved card presentation, and Win Bonus and Parlay Boost indicators make the experience more flexible and engaging.

Operators can adjust sorting, visible selections, and dedicated page layouts to match their brand’s preferences. The update also introduces Parlay Bet Count, a new content type that highlights popular combinations based on the brand’s actual betting activity, with optional bet counters adding social proof.

These enhancements make it easier to present relevant parlays in a way that fits each brand’s sportsbook experience.

The fastest frontend on the market, built for flexibility

Fastbook combines speed and flexibility into a sportsbook experience, giving operators greater freedom to shape the product without compromising performance.

Dinos Doxiadis, GR8 TECH’s head of sportsbook business, said: “In sportsbook, speed has a direct impact on the player experience. Players want to move between events, check markets, and place bets without delays, especially during live play. Fastbook makes that experience feel faster and more immediate, reducing friction at the moments when every second matters.”

For operators, better performance creates more room to build around their brand and their players. The new frontend combines speed with greater sportsbook flexibility, helping operators respond faster to player needs and compete on their own terms.
