Who should choose which
Connective Games suits an operator who wants a supplier to deliver a room: a white label or turnkey platform, certified in several European markets, with casino games and a CMS alongside, and the Aconcagua network for liquidity.
PokerEnginePro suits an operator who wants the platform itself: installed in its own infrastructure, with each market's rules as a signed rule pack and every chip on its own ledger.[1]
Markets as rule packs
In PokerEnginePro a market is a signed rule pack: minimum age, limits, self-exclusion registers, games and payment methods. Real money opens only where a pack allows it, and every rule has a test behind it.
- Great Britain, Malta, Ontario and US states among the 22 markets.
- Real money by allow-list only.
- 503 scenarios, run on every change.
