GLOSSARY TERM
Load Balancing
Load balancers spread requests across server pools with health-checking failover — capacity and resilience in one mechanism.
Where iGaming leans on it
Tracking infrastructure rides click bursts (campaign launches, TV spots, event kickoffs) that are spiky by nature — balanced redirect fleets keep click loss (and affiliate disputes) at zero during exactly the traffic worth most; betting platforms face the same physics at kickoff-scale. Geographic balancing adds latency and residency routing. The observable behavior partners experience — links resolving instantly, always — is this layer working; its absence is measured in attribution gaps nobody can explain later.
