For casino operators
Stop renting slots. Own the provider.
Every game you license sends a share of its revenue to the company that made it. Own the provider and that share stays with you.
We build a slot provider under your brand and fill it with exclusive games, published through Engine.io, formerly Stake Engine, and played only in your lobby.

01 / The difference
Rent the catalogue, or own the provider.
Most lobbies are filled the same way: license the big catalogues and pay the provider its share on every game, forever. Here is what changes when the provider is yours.
What changes
The usual way
Licensing
With us
Your own provider
The provider’s share
The usual way
Leaves your casino on every game, for as long as the game is live.
Your own provider
Stays in the house. When the provider is yours, you are the one being paid.
Your lobby
The usual way
The same titles every competitor carries, one click away in theirs too.
Your own provider
Games nobody else can offer, and a reason for players to stay with you.
The name on the game
The usual way
The supplier’s. Every launch you promote builds their brand.
Your own provider
Yours. Every launch you promote builds your own provider.
Control
The usual way
You take the catalogue as it comes.
Your own provider
You pick the themes, the return to player and the volatility.
After years of it
The usual way
You own nothing. End the contract and the games go with it.
Your own provider
A provider and a growing library: an asset that keeps earning.
Outside your lobby
The usual way
Nothing. Their games only ever earn for them.
Your own provider
License your games to other casinos and earn the provider’s share there too.
The work
The usual way
Owning a provider used to mean game servers, certification, hosting and a full studio of hires.
Your own provider
Engine.io hosts and publishes, we build. You feature the games and read the dashboard.
See what it would mean for your casino.
We walk through the numbers for your lobby on a call, under NDA.
02 / Why now
Engine.io opened its network to casinos.
On 14 October 2026 the platform behind the games on Stake.com started publishing for other operators. A slot provider stopped being a business you would have to build and became one you can commission.
- “Only on your casino” games
- Games no longer have to release on Stake.com. A casino can commission titles that play only in its own lobby.
- One integration, nothing to run
- Engine.io hosts the backend, the game servers and the files. You plug in once.
- Games you can license
- A provider you own can be offered to every other operator on the network.
“You can now work with a casino to create its own ‘Only on X’ content, exclusive to that operator.”
03 / How it works
You run the casino. We run the studio.
01
Plug into Engine.io
A single integration. No game servers to buy, nothing to host, nothing to maintain.
You, once
02
We set up your provider
Name, logo, art direction and a house style, so every title reads as your brand.
Us
03
We build and ship the games
Concept, math, art, animation, sound and submission. Engine.io approves and hosts each one.

04
You feature them
Put your exclusives in front of your players and follow them in Engine.io’s live dashboard.
You, ongoing
04 / The money
Own the provider and you are the creator.
Every slot in a lobby pays twice before the casino keeps its margin: once to the platform, once to the provider that made it. With licensed games the second payment leaves the building, game after game, month after month.
When the provider belongs to your casino, there is no one to pay it to. It stays with you, on every game, for as long as the game is live.
Two ways to work with us
Option A
Partner
Lower cost to start
- A flat fee per game, the lower upfront cost
- Plus a share of what the games earn, agreed with us
- We are invested in every title performing
Option B
Full ownership
Everything it earns is yours
- A higher flat fee per game
- The provider is entirely yours
- Nothing is shared with us after delivery
Not sure which fits?
Tell us about your lobby and we will model both options for you.
05 / Beyond your lobby
Your provider becomes something you can license.
Start
Exclusive to you
Titles nobody else can offer, and one more reason for players to stay in your lobby.
Grow
Exclusive to a partner
Commission games for another operator under your brand, on terms you set with them.
Scale
Across the network
Release to every casino on Engine.io and earn the provider’s share in each lobby.
Any casino can join Engine.io, including one that has not integrated yet. A large operator can become a content house, licensing its own exclusives to the rest of the market.
Who builds it
Built here, branded by someone else.
We build the games behind THUGGER, ENERGI, Hardhaus Studios, Hexaspin Studios, Project Panic and Fortune Studios. Not one of them carries our name, and yours would not either.
- Picked by Stake for its Top Picks shelf
- Rated three stars, the top grade, by Stake’s reviewers
- Streamed live by some of the biggest slot streamers, with nothing spent on marketing
06 / Questions
Operator questions
What casinos
ask us first.
Ownership, cost, integration and licensing. The numbers behind the model are walked through on a call, under NDA.
Can a casino have its own slot provider?
Yes. Since Engine.io opened its network to operators on 14 October 2026, a casino can commission games that release only in its own lobby, under a provider name it owns. We set the provider up for you, from the name and logo to the house style, and then build every game in it.
Do the games have to release on Stake.com?
No. That is the change. Games made for your provider can be exclusive to your casino and nobody else has to carry them. If you later want them in other lobbies, you can release them to the rest of the network on your own terms.
Do we need our own game servers or a technical team?
No. Engine.io hosts the backend, the game servers and every game file, and it reviews and publishes each title. Your side is a single integration with Engine.io, done once. Everything on the game side, from concept to submission, is ours.
How does owning a provider make a casino money?
On a standard deal, a casino pays a share of what each game earns to the provider that made it. When the provider is yours, you are that provider, so the share stays in the house instead of leaving it. Release your games to other casinos on the network and your provider earns that same share in their lobbies too.
What does it cost to start a provider?
There are two ways to work with us. As a partner, you pay a lower flat fee per game and we share in what the games earn, so we are invested in every title performing. With full ownership, you pay a higher flat fee per game and the provider and everything it earns is entirely yours. We quote per project, so send a brief and we will price your first game.
Can we choose the return to player and volatility?
Yes. You set the return to player and how volatile each game should feel, and we build the math to that target and prove it over millions of simulated plays before any art is drawn.
Who owns the brand and the games?
Your casino does. The provider carries your name and your house style, and nothing ships under ours. An NDA is in effect from the first message, and nothing about your provider appears on this site unless you want it to.
Can we license our games to other casinos?
Yes. Most operators start with games exclusive to their own lobby, then commission titles for a partner casino under their brand, then release to the whole network. A large operator can end up running a content house, licensing its exclusives to the rest of the market.
