What COMTRADE GAMING does

Comtrade Gaming is an independent B2B software provider that builds open gaming platforms and delivers professional services for the online and land-based gaming industry. The company's portfolio centers on three core platform products: iCore, an enterprise online gaming platform providing CRM, bonusing, and back-office management; sCore, a land-based gaming systems management platform utilizing G2S and S2S protocol implementations for slot floor operations; and gCore, a Remote Game Server (RGS) for game distribution. In 2024 the company added a fourth business line, CG Games, an in-house game content studio launched at ICE 2024. The company serves tier-1 gaming operators, regulators, and government lottery clients, with a visible customer roster including Betfred, Genting, Casinos Austria, Lottoland, Bally Technologies, Ainsworth, Blueprint Gaming, SOFTSWISS, and Bundesrechenzentrum (Austrian federal computing center).

The underlying technology architecture combines modular platform components with regulatory-compliant infrastructure certified by GLI, GSA, and multiple jurisdictional regulators (UK Gambling Commission, ONJN Romania, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 27001:2013). The platforms support integrations with third-party game providers, payment service providers, and operator-specific customizations, with the company assigning dedicated development teams to each major client. AI/ML capabilities are embedded as features within iCore for predictive analytics, recommendation engines, fraud anomaly detection, and operational automation.

Comtrade Gaming generates revenue through enterprise platform licensing subscriptions combined with professional services for integration, customization, and ongoing support. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales targeting licensed gaming operators, with recent expansion into new geographies (Brazil, Philippines, Central America/Caribbean, Nordics/Baltics) via distribution partnerships. The company is headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and operates as a subsidiary of Comtrade Group, with 380+ employees across 6-7 technology centers.
