This SDK is deprecated. Please use the Betable Canvas SDK.
Once a Betable API client has been authorized by a player, browser-based games should use the Betable Browser SDK to place bets directly from the browser so Betable can determine whether the player is allowed to gamble.
The various Betable OAuth SDKs ultimately produce an access token which should be sent from the server to the browser to configure the Betable Browser SDK. With a game ID and that access token, the browser will be able to send bets directly to the Betable API.
The Betable Browser SDK requires browsers modern enough to support XMLHttpRequest in some form and the native JSON.parse method. Specifically, these are Chrome 3+, Firefox 3+, and IE 8+.
In order to support browsers that do not have JSON.parse or JSON.stringify please include Crockford's JSON2 https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json2.js on your webpage.
Due to a limitation of Internet Explorer 8 and 9, Cross-site requests are made using XDomainRequests. This requires that your website use SSL.
Configure the Betable Browser SDK:
var betable = new Betable('YOUR_GAME_ID', 'AN_ACCESS_TOKEN')
Each method takes two final arguments that are both functions: a callback which in case of success receives the parsed response structure and an errback which in case of failure receives the parsed error, description, and details.
Check whether the player can gamble:
betable.canIGamble(
function(response) {
//
// response:
//
// {
// "can_gamble": true
// , "country": "Great Britain"
// , "country_code": "GB"
// }
//
}
, function(error) {
console.log(error)
}
)
This is not strictly necessary but it makes for a nicer player experience to tell players that can't gamble as early as possible.
Get the player's account, which includes their first and last name:
betable.account(
function(response) {
//
// response:
//
// {
// "id": "A4n7V5UL3gKx8ms2"
// , "first_name": "Charles"
// , "last_name": "Fey"
// }
//
}
, function(error) {
console.log(error)
}
)
Get the player's wallet, which includes their real-money balance:
betable.wallet(
function(response) {
//
// response:
//
// {
// , "real": {
// "balance": "0.00"
// , "currency": "GBP"
// , "economy": "real"
// }
// , "sandbox": {
// "balance": "0.00"
// , "currency": "GBP"
// , "economy": "sandbox"
// }
// }
//
}
, function(error) {
console.log(error)
}
)
If a player needs to deposit, send them to https://betable.com/#/wallet/deposit.
Place a bet:
betable.bet(
{
currency: 'GBP'
, economy: 'real'
, paylines: [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]
, wager: '0.01'
}
, function(response) {
//
// response:
//
// {
// , "currency":"GBP"
// , "outcomes": [
// {
// "outcome": "win"
// , "payline": [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
// , "payout":"0.05"
// , "symbols":["A","B","A","B","A"]
// }
// ]
// , "payout": "0.05"
// , "stops": [3, 26, 18, 18, 1]
// , "window": [
// ["C", "C", "D", "A", "B"]
// , ["A", "B", "A", "B", "A"]
// , ["C", "A", "D", "B", "A"]
// ]
// }
//
}
, function(error) {
console.log(error)
}
)
The first argument and the response change form according to the type of game on which bets are being placed. This example happens to be for a slot machine. Full documentation of the available options may be found at https://developers.betable.com/docs/.
Place an unbacked bet:
betable.unbackedBet(
{
paylines: [[1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]
, wager: '0.01'
}
, function(response) {
//
// response:
//
// {
// , "outcomes": [
// {
// "outcome": "win"
// , "payline": [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
// , "payout":"0.05"
// , "symbols":["A","B","A","B","A"]
// }
// ]
// , "payout": "0.05"
// , "stops": [3, 26, 18, 18, 1]
// , "window": [
// ["C", "C", "D", "A", "B"]
// , ["A", "B", "A", "B", "A"]
// , ["C", "A", "D", "B", "A"]
// ]
// }
//
}

If a player has earned credits for a game, they are able to bet with those credits by calling betCredits with the first argument being the game id.
