We've hit a technical backlog: integrating game providers one by one takes forever. How can we speed up the process?
OK I just wanted to share this with anyone who’s currently trying to expand their casino game catalog. Integrating individual games one by one with studios like Pragmatic, Evolution, or Hacksaw is a real trap for your development team. We’ve wasted months and tens of thousands of dollars on this!!!
Each studio has its own peculiar logic for webhooks, its own quirks in the testing environment, and contract negotiations take weeks - and that’s just to gain access to the testing environment. It took us three months to launch just four providers, after which we decided to give up on the whole thing. We abandoned the manual approach and instead connected to a unified API aggregator.
It took our developers less than two weeks to set up the webhooks and test the callbacks, and we gained access to thousands of games overnight.
If your monthly revenue doesn’t exceed $50 million and you can’t get game studios to offer you direct, customized terms, don’t let your developers build custom integrations!!!!!!
It’s a massive waste of time and development budget that you’ll never recoup.
I hope this helps someone. Let’s make providers more loyal and less arrogant!
