Casino API vs Game Aggregator
A single-studio casino API connects one provider's catalogue. A game aggregator(sometimes called a casino aggregator) bundles dozens of studios behind a single integration, single wallet and single contract. Here's how they differ and when to pick each.
| Dimension | Casino API (single studio) | Game Aggregator |
|---|---|---|
| Integration effort | 4–8 weeks per studio, separate certifications. | One integration unlocks 80+ studios and 5,000+ games. |
| Wallet | Per-studio balance, manual reconciliation. | Single wallet — one debit/credit endpoint across every studio. |
| Commercial model | Direct revenue share (15–25%) + minimum guarantees. | Single flat rev-share with the aggregator (3–8% on top of studio fee). |
| Game variety | One studio's catalogue (~200–800 titles). | Slots, live casino, crash, lottery, Teen Patti, Dragon Tiger — all in one. |
| Compliance | Per-studio license matrix, your responsibility. | Aggregator maintains the geo/studio matrix and handles certifications. |
| Time to launch | 6+ months for a meaningful library. | Live in 2–4 weeks with a full lobby. |
When a single casino API makes sense
Pick a direct casino API when your brand is built on one studio's franchise — for example a Pragmatic-only loyalty club, or a sportsbook that wants exactly one provider's crash game. You'll trade integration cost for slightly better commercial terms.
Why most operators choose an aggregator
The "one integration" benefit is decisive. Instead of 80+ contracts, certifications and webhooks, the aggregator gives you a single REST/Websocket surface, one wallet and one bill. Engineering velocity shifts from "another studio integration" to product and growth. That's why platforms like SoftSwiss, BetConstruct and AS Tech dominate new operator launches.
The AS Tech aggregator
AS Tech is a casino aggregator with 5,000+ games, native USDT settlements (TRC20/ERC20), HMAC-signed single wallet API and a multi-tenant operator / reseller back office. New operators are live in 2–4 weeks. See the API docs, the white label launch guide, or request a sandbox.
