What White Hat Gaming does

White Hat Gaming is a private B2B SaaS provider of Player Account Management (PAM) platforms for the regulated online gambling and sports betting industry. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Malta, with a Delaware-registered US operating entity, the company licenses its end-to-end proprietary PAM to licensed operators — sportsbooks, online casinos, tribal gaming entities, lottery couriers, and land-based casinos expanding online — across 25+ US jurisdictions plus Ontario, the UK, Malta, and New Zealand. Notable operator customers include Bally's Corporation, WynnBET, PENN Entertainment (Barstool), Jackpocket, Christchurch Casinos, and Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma; White Hat Studios content is distributed to BetMGM, FanDuel, DraftKings, Golden Nugget, Resorts, and Tipico among others.

The platform is built end-to-end in-house on a hub-and-spoke architecture with cloud (AWS) hubs and in-state hardware spokes that satisfy US regulatory hosting requirements. Core proprietary components include the award-winning Travelling Wallet (first-to-market cross-state player wallet launched Q1 2020), a PCI DSS SAQ A-certified in-house cashier with crypto deposit support and BIN routing, a real-time event feed via Kafka and Segment, a safer-gambling algorithm with 50+ behavioral harm markers, and a CRM suite integrated with Optimove, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Competition Labs. The platform aggregates Kambi's sportsbook-as-a-service alongside 3,000+ games from 130+ third-party content providers. White Hat Studios, a wholly-owned content division created in 2021 through the acquisition of Blueprint Gaming's RGS and catalogue, supplies branded European slots (Ted, Deal or No Deal, Peaky Blinders, Beavis and Butthead, Worms) and live casino via partnerships with Ezugi and Galaxy Gaming.

Revenue is generated through multi-year enterprise B2B SaaS contracts for PAM licensing and managed services (24/7 customer support, payments, compliance, CRM marketing), supplemented by content licensing royalties from White Hat Studios. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; the company sells via enterprise direct sales rather than self-service. No public funding rounds or revenue figures are disclosed.

Core offering

White Hat Gaming licenses a proprietary, end-to-end built Player Account Management (PAM) platform to licensed online gaming and sports betting operators in regulated markets, with optional white-label full-stack deployment.

Product overview

White Hat Gaming operates as a B2B SaaS iGaming platform provider offering a modular, full-service architecture. At its core is the proprietary Player Account Management (PAM) platform — built end-to-end by White Hat Gaming — which serves as the central hub for player account management, wallet functionality, compliance, and reporting. Operators can choose a PAM-only solution or a full white-label deployment where WHG manages the entire stack. The platform integrates Kambi's sportsbook-as-a-service module for sports betting and aggregates over 3,000 casino games from 120+ providers for casino content. Key proprietary modules include the award-winning Travelling Wallet™ (first-to-market cross-state wallet solution), the PCI DSS SAQ A-certified In-House Cashier (with configurable payments and real-time risk monitoring), and a CRM Marketing Suite integrated with tools including Optimove, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Competition Labs for gamification. White Hat Studios — a separate content division created in 2021 from Blueprint Gaming's acquired RGS catalogue — operates in parallel to the PAM via a dedicated Remote Gaming Server (RGS), supplying branded slots, jackpots, RNG table games, and instant-win titles to US operators.
