The gaming layer is the main source of revenue for the iGaming platform. It is he who shapes user behavior, session duration, betting frequency and LTV.
At this level, we are not talking about the integration of providers, but about the product model: what mechanics are used, how volatility is distributed and how content affects audience retention.
The mathematics of games manage the balance between player engagement and platform financial stability.
