What an iGaming platform is and how it is chosen, integrated, certified and run. The course covers the anatomy of a platform (the PAM and the wallet ledger, game aggregation and the seamless wallet, the sportsbook, payments orchestration, identity, screening and responsible-gambling modules, the bonus engine, reporting and the back office), the build-buy-rent decision in technical terms (white label, turnkey, proprietary and the hybrid most operators run, with an evaluation checklist that ends with exit), integrations (games, sportsbook feeds and settlement, payments, identity and geolocation, and how integrations are operated), certification, hosting and regulatory technology (technical standards, game and platform certification, change control, in-state and EU hosting, real-time regulatory feeds, security standards), data, performance and resilience (event architecture, warehouses and operational stores, spiky load, the wallet as bottleneck, redundancy, degradation, disaster recovery, observability), and running the technology organisation (teams by stage, supplier management, release trains, migrations, and where the technology is going).
Written for operators choosing or replacing a platform, for product, engineering and data people entering the industry, for suppliers who want to understand the operator's side, and for compliance teams who need to know what the technology does before they certify it.
The through-line is that the platform is mostly connections and a ledger, that everything an operator can differentiate on sits above the ledger, and that regulation decides what runs where and how fast it can change.
