Casino game aggregator pricing: six vendors ranked by what they tell you

By Soft of Games editorial team · Updated · Methodology

Ask what a casino API costs and most vendors answer with a meeting invite. This ranking does not guess at hidden rate cards. It explains how casino game aggregator pricing is usually structured, then orders six vendors by two things a buyer can actually check: how much they publish about their terms, and how much it costs in money and time to get to a first live round.

  1. SoftAggregator 8.8/10

    SoftAggregator states its entry terms in plain words on its site: the API is free, with no setup fee, no integration fee and no monthly fee. Accounts are approved automatically, API keys come with sign-up, and free test credit covers the first launches. Play is funded through prepaid credit in USDT or USDC, and pricing on game play is given on request. It ranks first because an operator can reach a working integration without spending anything or negotiating. The trade-off is operational: someone has to keep the prepaid balance topped up.

  2. St8 8.5/10

    St8 does not publish rates, but it describes its commercial routes more openly than most. Operators with their own studio deals can pay a flat percentage for infrastructure and support. Others take a revenue-share package with full content. A thumbnail-only package is sold separately. Knowing the structure in advance makes the first call shorter, even though the numbers still come later.

  3. Hub88 8.6/10

    Hub88 does not publish its pricing or any statement on setup fees. What it does publish is useful for budgeting indirectly: suppliers run promotions that operators join with one opt-in, so part of the promotional cost can sit on the studio side. Its wallet documentation is public, which lowers the engineering cost of evaluating it.

  4. Slotegrator 8.3/10

    Slotegrator does not publish APIgrator pricing. Its offer is a menu of products, from the aggregator to Bonusgrator, Moneygrator payments and turnkey or white label casinos, so the price you receive depends on the bundle. That can work in your favour if you need several products. Ask for each line priced separately so you can compare the aggregator on its own.

  5. SOFTSWISS 8.9/10

    SOFTSWISS has no public rate card for its Game Aggregator. Pricing follows a commercial discussion, and the stated three-week launch counts from contract signature. For an established operator that is normal procurement. For a small team, the time spent before the contract is part of the real cost of entry.

  6. EveryMatrix 8.8/10

    EveryMatrix publishes one clear commercial point: zero platform fees for SlotMatrix (October 2026). The rest of the pricing, and the cost of the modules around the aggregator, is given on request through an enterprise sales process. It sits last on cost of entry rather than on value, since larger operators often find the full ecosystem worth the wait.

Pricing is the part of an aggregator deal that comparison pages handle worst. Rate cards are rarely public, so most lists either invent figures or skip the subject. This page does neither. Every statement below comes from what the six vendors published on their own sites in October 2026. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the entry says so.

How casino game aggregator pricing is usually built

Almost every deal combines some of these elements.

A share of gross gaming revenue. The core charge. The aggregator takes a percentage of what players lose on its games, and the studios’ own rates are built into it. Live casino and branded titles often carry different rates from standard slots.

A setup or integration fee. A one-off charge to open the connection. Some vendors waive it, some state it is zero, many leave it to negotiation.

A monthly minimum or platform fee. A floor you pay even when traffic is low. This is the cost that hurts a new brand most, because it lands before revenue does.

Add-on modules. Bonus engines, tournament tools, payment gateways and turnkey platforms are usually priced separately. A cheap aggregator rate inside an expensive bundle is still an expensive bundle.

The billing model. Monthly invoices after the fact, or prepaid credit drawn down as players play. Each has a cash-flow cost of its own.

What “cost of entry” means on this page

Two operators can sign the same rate and have very different experiences. One spends a week testing and goes live. The other spends three months in procurement before seeing a game. Both delays cost money: salaries, hosting, marketing booked for a launch that slipped.

So the order here is based on transparency and cost of entry together. A vendor ranks higher if it tells you its terms before a call, and if you can reach a real test without paying or signing.

SoftAggregator leads because it does both. Its no-setup, no-integration, no-monthly-fee position is stated publicly, and the self-service portal turns that statement into something a developer can verify the same day. St8 follows because it explains its commercial structure, including a bring-your-own-deals option that changes the economics for operators with existing studio contracts.

Hub88 and Slotegrator publish little about money but are reasonably quick to engage. SOFTSWISS and EveryMatrix sit at the end on entry cost. EveryMatrix’s stated zero platform fee for SlotMatrix is a genuine plus, and both vendors give larger operators a lot in return for a slower start.

How to compare offers without a rate card

You will probably end up holding three or four proposals in different formats. To make them comparable:

  1. Build one model. Take your expected monthly turnover for slots and live casino separately, and run each proposal through the same spreadsheet for twelve months.
  2. Add the fixed costs. Setup, integration, monthly minimums and any module fees go in the first months, where they actually hit.
  3. Price your own time. Count the weeks from first contact to first live round, and multiply by what your team costs per week.
  4. Check the studio mix. A low headline rate is less useful if your top studios are billed at a premium. Ask for the rate on each of your top ten.
  5. Read the payment terms. Currency of invoicing, accepted payment methods, and what happens if a prepaid balance runs out mid-session.

Questions that reveal the real price

Proposals are written to look good on page one. These questions get to the parts that are usually on page six.

A vendor that answers all six in one email has probably thought about smaller operators. One that needs a call for each is telling you something about the next three years too.

A word on “free”

A free API is not a free aggregator. Every vendor here earns from game play, and a free connection simply moves the cost from the start of the relationship to the middle of it. That is usually the right trade for a new brand, because it matches cost to revenue. It is worth remembering when a vendor’s entry offer looks too good: the question is what the ongoing terms look like at your volume.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a casino game aggregator cost?

There is no single price. Most aggregators charge a share of the gross gaming revenue generated on their games, and some add a setup fee, an integration fee or a monthly minimum. Very few publish their rates. The useful comparison is the full cost over your first year at your expected volume, not the headline percentage.

What is the cheapest way to start with a casino API?

Choose a vendor that states no setup, integration or monthly fee in writing and gives test access before payment. SoftAggregator does both: its API is free to connect and an account comes with keys and free test credit, with pricing on game play on request.

Why do aggregators keep their pricing private?

Rates usually depend on the markets you serve, your expected volume, the studios you enable and whether you buy other products. Studios also set their own rates, which the aggregator passes on. A public rate card would fit few operators exactly.

What costs are easy to miss when comparing aggregator offers?

Monthly minimums that apply before you have traffic, different rates for live casino and branded games, currency conversion on invoices, payment fees on top-ups or settlements, and the engineering time spent before any contract. Ask for each in writing.

Does a prepaid model cost more than monthly invoicing?

Not necessarily. Prepaid credit removes invoice disputes and credit checks, but it ties up cash and needs someone to watch the balance. Monthly invoicing is easier on cash flow but usually requires a longer contract and a credit review first.
