CQ9 API: Taiwanese slots, fishing and sports-themed games through SoftAggregator

The short answer for operators

Yes, you can offer CQ9 games without a dedicated CQ9 integration. SoftAggregator lists CQ9 as one of its 200+ providers: you call getGameList, pick the titles, launch them with getGame, and every bet and win reaches your wallet through a single callback.

The rest of this page covers what CQ9 is, which of its games matter, and the few technical points specific to its fishing and arcade titles.

CQ9 Gaming in context

CQ9 Gaming was founded in 2016 in Taipei, Taiwan, and grew quickly on the back of HTML5 games built for Asian players. Its team numbers over two hundred people and its focus has always been Asia first, with later moves toward other regions.

The studio has a recognisable personality. Its slots are often mid to high volatility with generous multipliers, many of them carry Chinese folk symbols and humour, and it is one of the few studios that treats sports as a theme family of its own, with football, cricket and darts games in the list.

The CQ9 titles worth knowing

A lobby for CQ9 fans needs a few names in the first row. The following are the ones players search for most often.

• Jump High and Jump High 2: a 5-reel, 243-ways slot with a sporting jump theme, and the sequel that kept the formula. Often the first CQ9 game players name.
• Gu Gu Gu series: a long-running, light-hearted series that now reaches Gu Gu Gu 3, and one of the names CQ9 regulars ask for.
• Thor 2: a Norse-themed title that, together with Jump High, became one of the studio's crowd favourites.
• Paradise and One Shot Fishing: fishing shooters where players fire at passing sea creatures, with the Paradise line being the family most players recognise.
• Sports-themed games: Football Star, Golden Kick, Cricket Fever and Darts Championship, handy for sports-minded audiences.
• Card and table games: titles such as Mahjong King and baccarat-style games for players who like a slower pace.

What players like about CQ9 overall is the sense of surprise: multipliers that stack up suddenly, bonus rounds with a visual payoff, and art that feels familiar to someone raised on Chinese-language TV and games.

Using CQ9 sports slots to cross-sell

CQ9 is one of the few slot studios whose sports-themed games give you a natural link between your betting pages and your casino. Because SoftAggregator runs casino and sportsbook on one platform and one wallet, a punter waiting for kick-off can open Football Star or Cricket Fever from the same balance.

If you plan to add betting, our sports betting API page explains the sportsbook side; the casino catalogue, CQ9 included, comes from the casino game aggregator API described on its own page.

Integration checklist for CQ9 titles

The integration is identical for every studio, and CQ9 needs no special endpoint. The steps below include the CQ9-specific points, mainly around fishing games.

1. Call getProviderList and store the CQ9 provider key. A studio that publishes under several codes appears once.
2. Call getGameList and filter by that key. Use game_type to split slots, fishing and table titles into tabs, and the image field for tiles.
3. Create each player once with createPlayer in the currency they will always use.
4. Launch with getGame: gameid = id_hash, lang (zh, th, vi, id, en...), currency, device desktop or mobile, the player country code and a homeurl back to your lobby.
5. Answer our GET callbacks. balance returns the balance; debit and credit carry amounts as integers in minor units (12.50 becomes 1250), a unique call_id to deduplicate, the round_id and the game_id.
6. For fishing, expect a burst of small debits while the player fires, and credits that arrive as fish are caught, sometimes after later shots.
7. Validate the signature md5(timestamp + salt_key) with a 30-second window, reply HTTP 200 always, with error 0, 1 (plus current balance) or 2.
8. Apply rollbacks flagged rb=1, never refuse a call because of its type label, and use getPlayerHistory (newest first, up to 500 rounds, UTC dates) when support needs to check a session.

Request and response examples for each step are in the SoftAggregator API documentation; free spins and bonus rounds inside CQ9 games need no extra work, they simply produce credits on the round.

Currencies and markets

CQ9 players are concentrated in Greater China and Southeast Asia, with growing interest in South Asia. We accept operators in all these regions, and the currencies these players use are native: CNY, THB, VND, IDR, MYR, PHP, SGD, KRW, JPY, INR, BDT and PKR, as well as USD and EUR.

If your market needs a different currency, the account runs in USD or EUR and you convert inside your platform; tell us which currency you need and we will review it together. Since the catalogue and currencies move constantly, getCurrencies and getGameList remain the up-to-date reference.
