About Proto
Proto is the leader for multilingual contact centre automation in emerging markets. Proto’s AI Customer Experience (AICX) platform is powered by proprietary natural language processing (NLP) for under-resourced and mixed languages. The Proto team has successfully developed novel deep-learning techniques and regulatory partnerships to maximize consumer experience, protection, and lifetime value across 20+ emerging markets.
Problem
Sportsbet.io has players all over the world, who speak several different languages and live in several different timezones. The gaming brand received over 10,000 player support requests per month, which agents responded to via livechat or email. With an overwhelming volume of repetitive requests, the team wanted to scale support to dedicate more attention to VIP and high-value players.
They were looking for a player support solution that would be available 24/7 in all the languages their players spoke, and that could integrate seamlessly into their player management system and livechat solution (Comms).
Solution
Proto's multilingual player experience solution achieved these aims with immediate, round-the-clock resolution of all repetitive player queries. The AI-enabled platform is currently available in English, Japanese, and Portuguese, with 10 other languages upcoming for other markets.
Proto's chatbot platform is fully integrated into Sportsbet.io's existing infrastructure and livechat system, Comms, so the more straightforward queries are solved by the chatbot and any complex requests are passed to live agents via secure webhook.
The chatbot handles an unlimited volume of simultaneous requests from players, such as:
- Updating user profile info
- Deposit and withdrawal information
- Handling betting issues such as rejected or lost bets
- Supporting the know-your-customer (KYC) process
- Informing about offers and enrolling players
- Handling complaints and technical issues
- Passing complex queries to support agents

Results
Proto's solution relieved Sportsbet.io's support team from answering repetitive queries, enabling them to focus on providing better service for high-value players.
