What is Scalper Bot?
A scalper bot is automation built to buy limited-availability items faster than any person can, so the operator can resell them at a markup.
How it works
Scalpers script the entire purchase path: monitoring, cart, checkout. The whole run finishes in under a second, thousands of times in parallel.
Why it matters for sportsbooks
Real customers lose inventory to scripts, and your brand absorbs the anger while the reseller takes the margin. For your book, that means margin on every market stay protected and bettors get a fair experience.
How OddsArmor detects it
OddsArmor scores every request against behavioral, network, and device signals, so automated patterns surface even when they imitate real bettors. Suspicious sessions get challenged or blocked before they reach your book.
