Free Rounds/Free Bets: package freespins by game/category, including those with a fixed bet value.

Jackpots and currencies: Some online jackpots are not available in all currencies; may require a separate pool connection.
Responsible game: Reality Check, session/betting limits, self-exclusion, compliance with local odds display rules and RTP.
6) Integration architecture
6. 1 Wallet models
Seamless (Transfer-less): balance on the operator side; the game invokes authorization/debit/credit through the API, high availability and idempotency are required.
Transfer Wallet: pre-transfer of funds to the provider's account; intra-RGS transactions, session-close synchronization.
6. 2 Main endpoints (sketch)
/ authorize - start of the session (user, currency, jurisdiction, ip, device).
/ bet - bet ;/win - payout ;/rollback - cancel.
/ balance - current balance/limits.
/ bonus - activation/cancellation of bonus rounds.
/ session/close - end the session.
Webhooks/events: real-time telemetry (bet/win/bonus, jackpot, disconnect/reconnect).
6. 3 Idempotency
Global 'transaction _ id' (UUID/ULID) per bet/win; store'external _ ref'and status (processed/rolled_back).
Repeated requests with the same 'transaction _ id' must return the past result (exactly-once in meaning).
6. 4 Timeouts and Retreats
Client timeouts ≤ 2-3 s; exponential backoff; replay queue for temporary failures.
6. 5 Localization and devices
UI languages + format locales, mobile optimization, light assets, lazy-load.
7) Event diagram and analytics
7. 1 Event diagram (JSON, simplified)
json
{
"event_id": "ulid",
"event_time": "2025-11-02T12:31:05Z",
"type": "bet win bonus jackpot session_start session_end disconnect reconnect",
"user": {"id":"u123", "tenant":"op1", "country":"TR"},
"game": {"id":"pp_sweet_bonanza", "vertical":"slots", "rgs":"pragmatic"},
"session": {"id":"s456", "device":"android", "ip":"..."},
"wager": {"amount": 1.00, "currency": "EUR", "round_id":"r789"},
"payout": {"amount": 12.50, "jackpot": false},
"meta": {"rtp_profile":"96", "jurisdiction":"MGA"}
}7. 2 Product Metrics
GGR/NGR by game/provider/channel; ARPPU/ARPU; Spin Frequency, Bonus Entry Rate.
Retention/Sticky/DAU→WAU, Crash-rate/Disconnect-rate, Latency p95 RGS-вызовов.
Adoption promo: participation in Drops & Wins, Free Rounds conversion → deposit.
7. 3 Antifraud and anomalies
Signals: sharp increase in 'win _ rate', bonus carousels, multiple accounts/devices, geo-anomalies.
Reaction: bonus/game pause by segment, manual check, betting limits.
8) RTP, volatility and profiling
Reduced RTP is required for individual markets. Store the configuration directory and use it when generating the launch-URL.
In the game card: 'volatility', 'hit _ rate', 'max _ win _ exposure', buy_bonus_enabled (true/false in markets).
9) Jackpots
Fixed/cumulative, network/local, multi-level.
Parameters: seed, contribution%, hit_frequency, pool currency, list of participating games.
Separate statuses in UI and webhooks for jackpot win are required.
10) Reporting, reconciliation and financial control
Daily Game Report (bets/winnings/bonuses/jackpots by game, currency, jurisdiction).
Round-level logs with'round _ id'and status.
Reconciliation: operator amount for events vs provider reports; a small delta is allowed for open sessions.
Cut-off by server time of the provider; keep timezone and offsets.
11) Test benches and QA matrix
11. 1 Staging checklist
- Authorization/session closure, cross-browsers/mobile.
- Bet/Win/Rollback are idempotent, delays
- Free Rounds Accrual/Expense/Report.
- Jackpot: Simulation of falling out and calculation.
- Jurisdictional flags: Buy Bonus/Autoplay ban, bid/session limits.
- Localization: currency formats, transfers, responsible disclaimers.
- Reports: event reconciliation, cut-off, multi-currency.
11. 2 Negative scenarios
The repeated bid (duplicate 'transaction _ id') → 200 with the previous result.
Disconnect/Resume in the live game → the integrity of the state.
Timeout to/win → repeat with the same id, without double payout.
Currency without jackpot support → correct rejection.
12) Integration patterns
12. 1 Launch-flow (simplified)
yaml flow:
- call: /authorize in: {user_id, currency, jurisdiction, device}
out: {session_id, launch_url}
- redirect: launch_url
- callbacks: bet win bonus jackpot (webhooks + retry)
- heartbeat: keep-alive / reconnect
- close: /session/close12. 2 Example webhook (bet)
json
POST /webhooks/pragmatic/bet
{
"transaction_id":"tid-001",
"session_id":"s456",
"user_id":"u123",
"game_id":"pp_gates_of_olympus",
"amount":1.00,"currency":"EUR",
"round_id":"r789",
"event_time":"2025-11-02T12:31:05Z",
"signature":"hmac-sha256:..."
}12. 3 Operator response
json
{ "status":"ok", "balance": 97.30, "ext_ref":"ledger-991" }13) Marketing and Content
13. 1 Assets
Icons 256/512 px, posters 16: 9/4: 3, animated banners (webp/gif), preview videos.
Localized names and descriptions, genre tags, age ratings.
13. 2 Showcase
Categories: "New," "Hits," "Megaways," "Buy Bonus," "Jackpots," "Live Show."
Filters: volatility, mechanics, provider, minimum rate, RTP profile (if allowed to show).
13. 3 Campaigns
Drops & Wins: calendar, conditions, entry points on the showcase, "board leaders."
Personalization: recommendations for genres/volatility, "continue playing," re-activation push/email with freespins.
14) Observability and SLO integration
API p95/p99 по /authorize, /bet, /win; error rate by code.
Event lag, replay queue.
Game-SLO: crashes/1000 rounds, disconnect-rate (live), median round time.
Billing-SLO: reporting discrepancy <threshold, proportion of closed rounds to cut-off.
Alerts: latency degradation, duplicate/rollback growth, blank reports.
15) Safety and compliance
mTLS + HMAC signatures on webhooks and API calls.
PII minimization in events; tokenization of user_id.
RLS/CLS in Tenant/Region Analytics.
Responsible game: Reality Check, limits, self-exclusion; Correct warning texts
Jurisdictional flags in the launch configuration (autospin/fast spin/Buy Bonus, etc.).
Vendor access: limited keys, audit.
16) Integration economics
Cost-to-Serve: asset traffic (CDN), API calls, webhook processing.
Caching of static assets of games, preload for top ones; report materialization.
The catalog of features by market → less manual hotfixes, lower cost of ownership.
17) Frequent errors and anti-patterns
Single RTP for all markets → locks and rejected audits.
18) Configuration templates
