Fan Identity at Scale: IGT’s WSO2 Authentication for Sports & Gaming

In today’s digital-first sports and entertainment landscape, seamless and secure customer authentication is critical to delivering frictionless fan experiences. This session explores how Everi leverages WSO2 Identity Server to power authentication across a diverse ecosystem of mobile and web applications spanning professional sports, wagering, and casino platforms.

From Major League Baseball stadiums to NHL and NBA mobile apps, Everi enables millions of users to access digital wallets, ticketing, payments, and in-venue services through a unified authentication framework. By integrating with external identity providers such as Okta and implementing federated single sign-on (SSO), Everi ensures a consistent and secure login experience across platforms while maintaining flexibility for league-specific requirements.

Everi will further explain how they use WSO2 to support:

• High-availability authentication for customer-facing applications in live event environments
• Secure token federation between third-party identity providers and EVERI-managed systems
• Scalable identity services across mobile apps, wagering platforms, and casino ecosystems
• Migration strategies from legacy solutions (e.g., Auth0) to WSO2 without disrupting user experience

This session will also highlight the operational importance of identity resilience, where even brief outages can impact revenue, brand reputation, and real-time fan engagement in cashless stadiums.

Join us to discover how Everi uses WSO2 to deliver secure, scalable, and seamless identity experiences at the heart of modern sports and entertainment platforms.
