Live casino API and live dealer games API

What is a live casino API?

A live casino API is a single integration that streams real, human-dealt games into your casino. Instead of computer-generated outcomes, players join an HD video table where a live dealer spins the roulette wheel or deals the cards in real time. The live dealer games API handles table launch, streaming and wallet messaging behind one consistent interface.

Live casino is the fastest-growing segment in iGaming because it recreates the atmosphere of a land-based floor with the convenience of online play. It drives long sessions, high engagement and strong retention — particularly among higher-value players who want authenticity and social interaction. Adding a deep live lobby is one of the most effective ways to differentiate a casino brand.

With SoftAggregator, live dealer games are part of the same 40,000+ game catalogue and the same single integration as your slots and table games — no separate live-casino contract or second wallet to maintain.

Live dealer games included

One integration unlocks a full live-casino lobby from top live studios:

• Live roulette — European, lightning and multi-wheel variants in HD.
• Live blackjack — classic, infinite and side-bet tables with real dealers.
• Live baccarat and dragon tiger for high-stakes and Asian-market audiences.
• Game shows — wheel, dice and money-drop style formats built for mass engagement.
• Live poker variants such as casino hold'em and three-card poker.
• Localisation so dealer language and interfaces match your players' markets.

How live casino integration works

The live casino API is the same single REST API that powers the rest of the catalogue. You authenticate with your issued credentials, pull the game list (live tables appear alongside slots and table games), create a player and request a launch URL for a live table that you load in an iframe. The HD stream and table UI are delivered by the studio; your job is simply to embed the launch URL.

Money flows through the seamless wallet: our platform calls your callback for every bet and win at the live table, with a unique transaction id for de-duplication and integer-cent balances. Because live games share the same wallet model as slots, there is nothing extra to build. Go-live is the same four steps — register, get approved, integrate and test in the sandbox, then top up credit. Full detail is in our API documentation.

Live coverage differs between suppliers far more than slot coverage does. Our vendor profile of SOFTSWISS covers how another aggregator presents the same product.

Live casino API, live dealer API, live casino software: what each term covers

Operators shopping for a live casino API run into three overlapping terms, and suppliers do not always use them the same way. Live casino software is the studio side: the physical tables, the dealers, the cameras, the video encoding and the table interface the player sees. A live dealer API is the connection one studio exposes so a casino can open its tables. A live casino API, in the sense SoftAggregator uses it, sits one level above: a single connection that opens the tables of several live studios at once, next to slots and crash games, with one wallet contract for all of them.

The distinction matters most when reading quotes. A "live casino solution" can mean a dedicated table with a branded backdrop and an exclusive dealer team, a project measured in months and priced accordingly. Most operators do not need that on day one. They need a complete shared lobby of roulette, blackjack, baccarat and game shows working under their own domain within days, and that is the job an aggregated live casino API does.

Six questions to put to any live casino API provider

• Which studios are in the live lobby today? SoftAggregator lists live content from studios such as Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech Live, Vivo Gaming and BetGames. Whoever the supplier is, ask for the list as it stands now, not as it stood when the contract was signed.
• What is open at 3 a.m. in your market? Hundreds of tables mean little if your players log in during the studios' night shift. Check what is actually running during your players' own evening.
• Do the bet limits fit your currency? Limits follow the player currency passed at launch. A table minimum that suits a EUR player can shut out a casual INR or BDT player, and VIP tables raise the opposite question.
• How does a live round reach your wallet? Live rounds do not settle instantly: the stake is debited when betting closes and the win is credited once the result is in, often half a minute later. When a studio voids a round, SoftAggregator sends it back as a rollback flagged rb=1, processed like any other debit or credit.
• Can every callback be verified? SoftAggregator signs each wallet callback with an HMAC-SHA256 of the full payload and a timestamp, and sends them from one fixed IP address, so a wallet can reject anything it did not expect.
• What happens on a phone? Most live sessions are mobile. The launch call takes device=mobile and a language code, so the table opens in the right layout and the right language.

Where live dealer games fit in an operator's lobby

For a slots-first crypto casino, live tables are the retention layer: a player who arrives for slots and settles into blackjack tends to stay longer. For South Asian operators, baccarat, dragon tiger, teen patti and andar bahar are the headline rather than an extra; the casino game aggregator page for India covers INR play and those card games. For a sportsbook-first brand, live casino fills the hours between matches, and the sportsbook and live casino API page explains how both run through one integration and one balance.

On cost, the API itself comes with no setup fee, no integration fee and no monthly fee, as set out on the no-setup-fee casino API page, and the typical timeline from keys to a live lobby is on fast casino API integration.
