ODDSworks Inc.

Company History and Founding

ODDSworks was founded in 2020 by Shridhar Joshi, a veteran slot industry leader with over 25 years of experience, including a key role at WMS Industries where he helped grow the company to $800 million in revenues. Joshi also founded 2 By 2 Gaming, a premier games design company. The company was established in Downers Grove, Illinois, with a focus on providing Remote Gaming Server technology for the burgeoning North American iGaming market.

Core Products and Platforms

The flagship product is the BETguard Remote Gaming Server (RGS), a certified platform that enables operators to offer a wide range of game features including progressive jackpots, free spins, and advanced bonusing tools. The O-Connect aggregation layer provides a single integration point for operators to access a curated library of games from ODDSworks and partner studios. This dual approach allows ODDSworks to serve both as a content developer and a technology aggregator.

Game Portfolio

ODDSworks develops and distributes a diverse portfolio of online casino games, including video slots, video poker, table games, and instant-win scratch-off titles. Notable offerings include Roulette Up, developed in partnership with Galaxy Gaming, and stepper-style slots. The company also offers pre-release games for early testing with operator partners.

Market Position and Licensing

ODDSworks has secured regulatory approvals in key North American jurisdictions: Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ontario, and Quebec. This broad licensing footprint positions the company to compete effectively in the regulated iGaming space. The company competes with other RGS providers and content aggregators such as Bragg Gaming, Games Global, and Light & Wonder.

Strategic Partnerships

ODDSworks has established relationships with major operators including Caesars Entertainment (live in four US markets) and FanDuel. Content partnerships include Galaxy Gaming, RAW iGaming, Gaming Corps, Bluberi, and Incredible Technologies. In 2025, ODDSworks announced a strategic partnership with Bluberi to expand North American reach, and a distribution agreement with Gaming Corps for North and Latin America via the BETguard platform.

President Larry DeMar is an MIT graduate with 40 years of experience in video games, pinball, and slot machines, and holds 38 patents.
