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.
| Layer | Primary responsibility | Typical buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Casino platform / PAM | Accounts, funds and operations | Casino and sportsbook operators |
| Game aggregator | Content access and integration | Operators and platforms |
| Remote game server | Game execution and delivery | Studios and game developers |
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.
