What a casino game aggregator does

A casino game aggregator is a company that connects many game studios to many online casinos through a single technical integration. The casino plugs in once and gets thousands of games; the studio plugs in once and reaches hundreds of casinos. We are a studio, and this is how it looks from our side.

The problem it solves

Every studio has its own way of launching a game, reporting a round and moving money. If a casino wanted twenty studios directly, it would build twenty integrations, sign twenty contracts and reconcile twenty invoices every month. If a studio like Nocturn Play wanted two hundred casinos directly, we would spend our year on integrations instead of on games.

An aggregator sits in the middle. It speaks every studio's protocol on one side and offers casinos a single API on the other: one way to list games, one way to launch them, one wallet protocol, one report, one invoice.

What actually happens when a player spins

1. The casino asks the aggregator for a game URL for a given player, currency and language.
2. The aggregator asks the studio's server for a session and returns the URL to the casino.
3. The player spins. The studio's server decides the result, then the bet and the win move through the casino's wallet (debit, then credit), usually through what is called a seamless wallet: the player's balance never leaves the casino.
4. At the end of the month, the casino pays the aggregator a share of its GGR (gross gaming revenue: bets minus wins) on those games, and the aggregator pays the studios.

How Nocturn Play works with aggregators

Nocturn Play games, from Viking Raid and Golden Abysses to newer formats such as Lumen Drift, Comet Bingo and Royal Trail, reach players through aggregators and platforms that integrate the studio directly. Once connected, they can switch our titles on for every casino they serve, with no setup fee, and new releases reach the lobby the day they launch.

The same door is open to casinos that prefer to connect without an intermediary; our partner programme explains both cases, and a partner account issues production keys on the spot.

How to choose an aggregator

If you are an operator comparing aggregators, the questions that matter are less glamorous than catalogue size:

• Pricing: is it a share of GGR, a fixed fee, or both? Is there a setup fee? A monthly minimum?
• Currencies: does it support yours, including crypto (BTC, USDT, ETH and the rest) if your players use it? Our games alone cover 52 fiat currencies and 11 cryptocurrencies.
• Wallet behaviour: what happens when your wallet times out mid-round? A serious provider retries the credit until it lands, so a player's win is never lost.
• Who you talk to when a game breaks at 2 a.m.
