Studios Live data · 8 Nov 2026
Casino software providers at new online casinos
New casinos rarely make their own games. They license slots, live tables and crash games from studios, usually through aggregators that connect hundreds of studios at once. That is why a casino can open with thousands of games on day one.
The studio decides how a game plays. The casino decides which RTP version it runs, the bonus terms and how it pays. A studio you like is a reason to look at a casino, not a reason to trust it.

Are casino studios fair?
Studios licensed in markets such as Malta or the UK must have their random number generators and game maths certified by test labs such as eCOGRA, iTech Labs, GLI or BMM. That covers the game. It does not cover the casino's withdrawals or terms.
Does the studio affect payouts?
Not withdrawal times, which depend on the casino. It does affect what games return: many studios supply each slot in several RTP versions, for example 96%, 94% and 92%. Open the info screen to see which one the casino runs. Our RTP guide explains more.

Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
