Gaming platform and providers: what is behind the online casino

Visually, the player sees the interface and buttons. But behind each session is a complex technological system - a gaming platform that controls the logic of the casino, interaction with game providers and ensures the reliable operation of content. High-quality integration with leading providers is the key to trust, interest and retention of players.


What is a gaming platform

The gaming platform is the software core of an online casino that provides:
  • Connecting game providers
  • Managing sessions, bets and winnings
  • Data exchange with backend, payment system, analytics
  • Calculation of bonuses, cashbacks, freespins
  • Control over RTP, limits and player actions
Often the platform includes:
  • Game API
  • Admin panel with game settings
  • Integration with providers and aggregators
  • Mechanisms for launching iframe/WebGL/WebRTC games

Who are game providers

Game providers are studios and companies that develop games: slots, board games, live casinos, crash games and mini-games.
