Adding games one studio at a time means a new contract, a new integration and a new support contact each time. After the fifth studio, most of an operator’s technical time goes on maintenance rather than on players.
An aggregator API replaces that with one connection. This article explains what GamingSoft’s API integration includes, how GS Connect and GS Connect+ differ, and what operators should prepare and check before integrating. For how game aggregation works in general, see Gamingsoft’s API aggregator.
What the API Integration Includes
GamingSoft describes its API integration as a single, one-time integration that gives access to games from many providers under one protocol. The main parts are:
- One integration for many providers. You connect once instead of integrating each studio separately.
- A single player balance. Players use one balance across games, so they don’t move funds between separate game wallets.
- Multi-currency support. Deposits and withdrawals in major currencies.
- Game list updates. New games are added to the feed, so your team doesn’t chase each studio for updates.
- Agent back office. A dashboard showing kiosk balance, member registrations and deposit and withdrawal statistics, plus the current API documentation.
- Multi-tier agent management. Tools for operators who work with networks of agents.
- Technical support during integration and in daily operation.
Ask your account manager for the current provider and game list for your markets. Catalogues change often, and what matters is which content is available and approved where you operate.
GS Connect vs GS Connect+
| GS Connect | GS Connect+ | |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Game content through one API integration | Game content plus gamification tools |
| Gamification | Not the focus | Tournaments, missions and achievements, timed bonuses and instant rewards |
| Set-up | Self-integration with API documentation | Described by GamingSoft as including complete set-up and support |
| Best for | Operators who want a broad lobby fast | Established operators who also want retention tools |
The GS Connect+ tournament system lets operators schedule tournaments by hour, day, week or month and configure leaderboards, prizes, currencies, languages and eligible games from the back office. Check each feature against the bonus rules in your markets. In Great Britain, for example, bonus wagering has been capped at 10 times since January 2026. Promotions mixing different products are banned there too.
How to Prepare for Integration
- Decide your markets first. Content must be certified where you offer it. Brazil, regulated since January 2025, requires online games to be certified by a recognised lab with a minimum theoretical RTP of 85%.
- Prepare your wallet. Balance, debit, credit and rollback calls must be idempotent so a retried request never moves money twice.
- Get a staging environment. Test failures as well as normal play: duplicate requests, timeouts and rollbacks.
- Bring finance in early. Reconcile test transactions against the back office reports before you go live.
- Plan responsible gambling. Make sure limits and exclusions apply inside every game.
Our iGaming API integration project plan goes through each phase with a go-live checklist.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
- Which providers and games are available and approved for each of our markets?
- Which wallet model do you support for our platform?
- What does the staging environment include?
- What support hours and response times apply after go-live?
- How are new games, removed games and provider outages communicated?
- What reports are available for reconciliation and for the regulator?
FAQ
Do I need my own licence to use GamingSoft’s API?
Yes. An aggregator supplies content; it does not hold a licence for your business. You need your own operator licence for each market, or a white label partner that holds one.
Can I add gamification later?
Yes. Many operators start with game content and add retention tools once traffic grows. Check which plan includes the features you need.
What is a single player balance?
A setup where the player’s money stays in one balance used across all games, instead of being moved into separate wallets for each provider.
A single integration only saves time if the content is approved where you operate and your wallet handles the edge cases. Get those two things right and an aggregator lets your team spend its time on players instead of on studio contracts. To discuss content for your markets, contact GamingSoft.
