Hello, forum members! Lately, our indie development studio has been considering entering the iGaming market, since we have great concepts and mathematical models for slots, but absolutely no experience with infrastructure or distribution. Could someone with experience advise us on the best way for a small team to approach operators, and whether it’s realistic to scale the product quickly without our own aggregation platform?
Because handling each integration manually with every casino individually seems like a never-ending bureaucratic nightmare. I’d also like to clarify something to better understand the technical process: could you tell me how difficult it is to adapt existing game mechanics to handle high traffic so that the system runs smoothly when thousands of players log in at the same time?
A couple of years ago, we tried to reach out to every provider on our own, and it was a huge mistake. Attempting to handle integrations independently is practically a pipe dream and will consume your entire budget and time. It's much easier to connect to a large aggregator via a single API, which makes your software immediately available to dozens of partners. So I recommend you check out this website - https://www.edgelabs.game/ . These guys help providers expand their distribution through the EdgeLabs Connect platform while handling the technical aspects and scaling. Their infrastructure handles millions of transactions with 99.9% uptime, so you won't have to worry about server crashes when there's a surge of players. What specific game mechanics are you currently developing?
