Casino platform vs remote game server

How the casino platform, game aggregator and RGS work together.

When evaluating online casino software, the first question is which part of the business the technology will run. A casino platform, a game aggregator and a remote game server solve different problems.

Casino platform: the player and operating layer

A casino platform manages player accounts, wallets, payments, bonuses, content configuration and back-office workflows. Player account management, often called PAM, sits at the centre of this operating layer.

Game aggregator: the content connection

A game aggregator connects multiple studios through a common integration. It helps operators manage content access and exchange game transactions with their wallet.

RGS: the game-serving layer

A remote game server, or RGS, runs or serves game-specific functionality and connects games to operator systems. It is especially relevant to studios developing and distributing original games.

Choosing the right starting point

For an operator launch, start with the casino platform or a complete casino and sportsbook solution. To expand content, look at the Game Aggregator. For a bespoke title, define the game-server requirements within original game development.
