SoftAggregator vs Hub88

By Soft of Games editorial team · Updated 2026-10-07 · Methodology

Both aggregators speak the language of crypto casinos, but they solve different problems. SoftAggregator offers the bigger published catalogue, a free API and API keys at sign-up. Hub88 offers a Freebets API, supplier promotions and polished public documentation, through a sales-led start.

On paper these two look like cousins. Both serve crypto casinos, both run a seamless wallet, and both pitch speed. Hub88’s homepage even promises content in “minutes, not months”. Read past the slogans, though, and they split cleanly on one question: what does your marketing team need on launch day?

Where they come from

Hub88 was built inside Yolo Group to power the group’s own brands, Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io, before it was opened to other operators. Its best-known client today is Stake.com. That origin gives it a tested core and a product shaped around high-volume crypto play.

SoftAggregator is a younger company with a smaller team. It has grown by making access easy: sign up, get keys, launch. Its catalogue has grown quickly, and in October 2026 it publishes 40,000+ games from 200+ providers. Hub88 lists 26,000+ games and does not give a provider count.

The free spins question

If one feature decides this comparison, it is free rounds.

Hub88 has a Freebets API. It grants free spins, free bets or prizes to one or many players, and most studios on the hub support it. On top of that, studios publish campaigns inside Hub88 and operators join them with one click. For a small CRM team, that means lobby activity paid for by suppliers, without negotiating each deal.

SoftAggregator does not have a free-round API yet, and it does not run supplier campaigns or tournaments. Operators who need free spins today usually credit bonus cash from their own back office instead. That works, and many crypto casinos prefer cash bonuses anyway. But if your acquisition plan says “50 free spins on a named slot”, Hub88 handles it natively and SoftAggregator does not.

Access and cost

Here the balance tips the other way. SoftAggregator lets you register on its portal, get an auto-approved account and see API keys at once, with free test credit for the first launches. The API is free: no setup fee, no integration fee, no monthly fee. The operator keeps a prepaid balance topped up in USDT or USDC, and pricing on game play is given on request.

Hub88 starts with sales. Credentials and a technical contact come after terms are agreed, and the commercial model is not published. Integration time is not published either.

For a founder who is still deciding between two markets, the ability to test the full game list before any commitment is worth a lot.

What developers will notice

Hub88’s public documentation is a strength. Requests are signed with RSA-SHA256, every wallet transaction carries a transaction_uuid, and the docs explain idempotency clearly. A TransferWallet option exists for teams that prefer it.

SoftAggregator’s documentation is lighter. The callback model is simple (balance, debit, credit over HTTP), and one integration covers slots, live dealer, crash, virtuals and a sportsbook. Developers should expect to ask the support team a few questions on Telegram, where replies come quickly in English, French, Turkish and other languages.

Scenario: a Telegram casino in Ethiopia and Tunisia

Picture a small team launching a Telegram casino bot for players in Ethiopia and Tunisia, with crypto deposits and local currency display. The team has one backend developer and no CRM tool yet.

SoftAggregator fits this brief closely. Per-player currency covers ETB and TND, which many vendors skip. The prepaid crypto model matches how the team already moves money. The developer can have a working integration in days and pay nothing to connect. The missing free-round API is a smaller issue here, because the launch offer will be a deposit match in cash.

Hub88 could serve the same project, but its currency list is not published, so ETB and TND would need written confirmation, and the sales stage adds time before any code runs.

Scenario: a European crypto brand built on free spins

Now take an established crypto casino whose affiliate deals all promise free spins on sign-up, and whose CRM team runs a new promotion every week. Here Hub88 is the better tool. The Freebets API and supplier promotions remove real work. The smaller catalogue matters less when the top studios are already covered.

How to decide

Make a list of three things before talking to either vendor: your target currencies, your welcome offer mechanic and your launch date. If the offer depends on free spins, Hub88 moves up. If the currencies are unusual or the date is close, SoftAggregator moves up.

The full reviews of SoftAggregator and Hub88 go further into each product. ST8, built by Hub88’s former head, is a natural third name for this shortlist.
