Why iGaming is switching to microservices
The monolith no longer pulls the load and pace of releases in gambling. We analyze why iGaming operators and platforms are massively switching to microservice architecture: independent domains (wallet, bonuses, cash register, KYC/AML), event bus, SLO for money, fast development and geo scaling. Pros, cons, migration patterns, maturity checklists and red flags.
Multi-brand casino architecture: shared services and isolation
How to build a platform for dozens of brands at the same time: where it is profitable to share common services (wallet, cash register, KYC/AML, content, bonuses, affiliates, BI), and where hard isolation is needed (data, limits, licenses, payments, RG/AML). Multi-tenant vs multi-instance patterns, separate accounting, event buses, SLO and compliance by region. Checklists and red flags.
How to scale your casino platform
IGaming scalability engineering map: architectural patterns (event, CQRS, sagas), money loop isolation, payment orchestration, caches and queues, database sharding and replication, multi-region, observability, DR/xaoc engineering, FinOps. SLO checklists, anti-patterns, and a roadmap of evolution from monolith to global platform.
What is RGS and its role in the ecosystem
Remote Game Server (RGS) is the "engine" of slots and instant games. We analyze what he is responsible for: mathematics and RNG, rounds and sessions, jackpots and promotions, APIs with platforms, certification and telemetry. Plus architectural patterns, performance requirements and checklists for studios, aggregators and operators.
How RGS provides slot stability and telemetry
We analyze how Remote Game Server (RGS) keeps RNG games in line: SLO and idempotence on money routes, queues and back-pressure, canary releases, outbox/CDC and sagas, health checks of providers, WAF/mTLS. Plus - a full telemetry map: business metrics, technical metrics, event schemas, WORM audits, alerting, dashboards, chaos exercises and checklists for studios and operators.
Integration of live games and show formats via RGS/bridge
How to connect live casinos and game shows with the iGaming platform: RGS/bridge-level architecture, synchronization of bets and outcomes, reception/lock windows, calculation of payments, work with wallet, bonuses, jackpots and tournaments. We analyze protocols, SLO by delay, events and sagas, anti-fraud, observability, multi-tenancy and compliance. Checklists and "red flags."
How the jackpot API works
We analyze the architecture and API contracts for jackpot systems in iGaming: pool types (local, network, progressive), monetary invariants, platform integrations, RGS and aggregator, event schemas, idempotency, calculation and drawing, security and reporting. We give reference endpoints, examples of payloads, SLOs, checklists and "red flags."
IFrame and native containers: when to choose what
We compare iFrame embedding and native containers (WebView/SDK) to run games and widgets: security, performance, payments, RG/AML, analytics, SEO, store moderation and compliance. We give a selection matrix for casino/platform/media, architectural patterns (postMessage, sandbox, CSP), checklists and anti-patterns.
Single API for providers: design, version, compatibility
How to design a single API through which the iGaming platform connects dozens of studios and services: resource model, event schemas, security, idempotence, pagination, errors. We analyze the version strategy (semver, header/content negotiation), backward compatibility rules, depression plan, testing contracts and migration roadmap. Examples of payloads and checklists.
How to connect providers via API: handshake, certification, sandbox
The step-by-step process of integrating a content provider with an iGaming platform: from primary handshake and key exchange to certification and release. We analyze the sandbox environment, specifications and contracts, test cases and reports, security and versioning, SLO and anti-patterns. We give approximate payloads, checklists and a risk map.
REST, gRPC and Webhooks in iGaming: Patterns and Anti-Patterns
How to choose and combine REST, gRPC and webhooks in iGaming integrations: money paths, events, delays, retrays and idempotency. We analyze contract schemes, versioning, security (mTLS/HMAC), observability, queues and outbox/CDC. We give checklists, SLO-oriented solutions and "red flags."
API Keys, Tokens, and Credentials - Secure Authentication
A practical guide to authentication and authorization in iGaming integrations: API keys, OAuth2/MTLS tokens, HMAC signatures, access credentials and scope, linking tokens to a channel (PoP/DPoP/MTLS), short-lived sessions, rotating secrets (Vault/HSM), regional isolation, WORM journal and checklists. Plus reference flow for provider/platform and anti-patterns.
Why it is critical to log and trace API requests
Logs and tracing - iGaming money path insurance. We analyze what, where and how to write: correlation IDs, levels and structure of logs, OpenTelemetry, WORM audit, PII protection, data storage and residence, SLO alerts. We give reference record formats, checklists for the platform and provider, anti-patterns and an implementation plan.
Integration with payment gateways: flow, returns, reconciliation
A practical guide to connecting PSP/payment gateways in iGaming: authorization/kapchur/void/refand, cascades and routing, 3-DS/AVS/velocity, idempotency, webhooks and status machines. We analyze in detail reconciliation, reports, chargeback flow, SLO, security, telemetry, checklists and anti-patterns.
Crypto payments and stablecoins: features on-chain/off-chain
We analyze how to accept and display crypto and stablecoins in iGaming: differences on-chain and off-chain flow, wallets and custom, networks and standards of tokens, gas and confirmations, risk and compliance (KYC/KYT/Travel Rule), volatility and hedging, reconciliation and incidents. We give reference contracts API, SLO, checklists and "red flags."
