What's New in V3.0
Breaking Changes
Holding points
Holding points before redeem is now optional.
Transactions API will be flexible to accept redeeming points with or without a hold reference. This will allow integrators to pick the best integration sequence that fits their system flow.
Removed Hashing
Hashing is no longer required for sensitive APIs like transactions & player's information. Gameball now uses two keys for authentication:
Web Key (Public Key) : used for non sensitive APIs and initialization of Widget
Secret\transactions Key: used to authenticate sensitive API calls.
