Payments
Ledger
The authoritative record of every movement of value on a platform: deposits, stakes, wins, bonus grants, adjustments and withdrawals, each as an entry that is never edited. Balances are derived from the entries rather than stored and updated in place.
Where it belongs
Payments
- Terms it sits beside
- Reconciliation, Locked balance, Exactly-once settlement
Part of the Scalara iGaming glossary, written for operators choosing a platform.
What it means for an operator
A stored balance that gets overwritten cannot answer the only question that matters after an incident, which is how it reached its current value. An append only ledger can.
Scalara holds real, bonus and locked balances as distinct positions in one ledger, in a single settlement currency per brand, with fiat and crypto arriving into the same book. Month end is one figure with one history behind it.
