Many offshore sportsbooks based in Costa Rica manage to stay open for their clients 24 hours a day and seven days a week; this high rate of availability is achieved despite power and Internet outages caused by earthquakes, extreme weather conditions and business challenges. How do they manage to remain operational?

Costa Rica is one of the major international hubs for offshore sportsbooks in the world, and there are a few reasons why this industry has developed in our country.

Unlike other jurisdictions that prohibit sports betting, Costa Rica does not impose such restrictions on companies that want to offer wagering services. There is also a considerable talent pool in terms of individuals whose language and technical skills are very valuable to the sports betting industry.

Costa Rica is a pioneer of what has come to be known as Pay-Per-Head (PPH) services, which can be described as an offhshore Sportsbook-as-a-Platform solution for sports advisors. PPH services provided by IDSca.com, the leading pioneer firm of this industry, are supported by what is known as redundancy.
