So which RGS should you choose?
There is no single Remote Game Server that is best for every company. The best RGS is the one that matches your development model, distribution strategy, regulatory requirements, desired level of technology ownership and the types of games you plan to build.
In this guide, we explain how to compare RGS providers, which questions to ask before signing a contract and why factors such as game development flexibility, integrations, infrastructure, multiplayer support, promotional tools and technology ownership matter.
What is an RGS in iGaming?
RGS stands for Remote Game Server or Remote Gaming Server.
An RGS is the backend technology used to run, manage and distribute online casino games.
The player sees a game client in a browser or application, while the RGS can handle many of the processes required for the game to function within a real-money gaming environment.
Depending on the architecture, an RGS may be responsible for:
- game sessions;
- game logic;
- Random Number Generator integration;
- mathematical models;
- bets and wins;
- wallet communication;
- operator and aggregator integrations;
- game configuration;
- multiple RTP versions;
- transaction history;
- reporting;
- game replays;
- promotional functionality;
- regulatory controls;
- monitoring;
- and game distribution.
In simple terms:
The game is what the player sees. The RGS is much of the technology that enables the game to operate commercially at scale.
Is an RGS the same as an iGaming platform or game aggregator?
No. These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they describe different parts of the iGaming technology ecosystem.
RGS – Remote Game Server
The RGS primarily powers games and manages communication between the game and the operator infrastructure.
Casino platform
A casino platform normally manages the operator-facing ecosystem, including areas such as player accounts, wallets, payments, CRM, bonuses, KYC and casino lobby functionality.
Game aggregator
An aggregator connects many game suppliers with many operators, allowing casinos to integrate large portfolios of content through fewer technical connections.
GDK or SDK
A Game Development Kit helps developers build or integrate games into the underlying platform.
A simplified architecture may look like this:
Player → Casino Platform → Aggregator or Direct Integration → RGS → Game
The exact architecture differs between suppliers, operators and markets.
Does a game studio need an RGS?
If you want to distribute real-money casino games professionally to multiple operators, you will normally need access to RGS functionality somewhere within your technology stack.
That does not necessarily mean that you need to build the technology yourself.
A game studio generally has several options:
- build an RGS internally;
- license a standalone RGS;
- use an RGS-as-a-Service model;
- join a studio or publishing ecosystem where RGS technology and distribution are provided as part of the relationship.
The right approach depends on your business strategy.
Should you build your own RGS or use an existing RGS provider?
This is one of the first strategic questions an iGaming studio should answer.
Building your own RGS
Building an RGS internally gives you maximum architectural control.
However, building an RGS is much more complicated than creating an API that accepts bets.
You may need to develop and continuously maintain:
- wallet integrations;
- transaction integrity;
- game configuration;
- RNG integration and monitoring;
- reporting;
- game history;
- audit trails;
- operator integrations;
- aggregator integrations;
- security;
- fraud prevention;
- cloud infrastructure;
- deployment processes;
- monitoring;
- DDoS protection;
- regulatory functionality;
- certification requirements;
- responsible gaming functionality;
- back office systems;
- technical support;
- and ongoing change management.
The largest cost is often not building the first version.
It is maintaining and evolving the RGS while simultaneously developing games, supporting operators and expanding your distribution network.
For a large technology company that considers its RGS architecture a strategic competitive advantage, developing internally can make sense.
For many studios, however, development resources create more value when focused on game mechanics, mathematics, design, player experience and content.
Using an existing RGS
Licensing an existing Remote Game Server gives a studio access to technology that has already solved many of these infrastructure and operational problems.
The trade-off is potential dependency on a third-party provider.
This is why questions about hosting, ownership, commercial structure, API access, deployment model and migration should be discussed before signing an agreement.
Instead of asking:
“Can we build our own RGS?”
ask:
“Is building and maintaining an RGS where our company creates competitive advantage?”
Standalone RGS vs RGSaaS: which model is better?
One of the most important distinctions when evaluating RGS providers is the difference between a Standalone RGS and RGS-as-a-Service.
What is a Standalone RGS?
A standalone deployment gives the game studio significantly more control over its technology and operations.
Depending on the agreement, the studio may control its own hosting, infrastructure, commercial relationships and integrations while licensing the underlying RGS technology.
A standalone RGS can be particularly attractive to companies that want to build a long-term independent game supplier.
A Standalone RGS is usually worth considering when:
- technology control is strategically important;
- you want direct relationships with operators and aggregators;
- you already have internal engineering resources;
- you want more control over infrastructure;
- you expect the studio to scale significantly;
- you want to build independent enterprise value;
- you prefer a licence or subscription model over long-term revenue share.
What is RGS-as-a-Service?
RGSaaS transfers more technology and operational responsibility to the RGS provider.
This can include hosting, integrations, infrastructure management, technical operations and other services.
RGSaaS is usually attractive when:
- speed to market is a priority;
- your team primarily wants to focus on developing games;
- you do not want to build a large DevOps organisation;
- you want support with integrations and distribution;
- you prefer variable costs;
- you want to validate your game studio before making a large infrastructure investment.
Neither model is inherently better.
The important thing is choosing an RGS provider whose model matches your long-term strategy.
Tequity supports both Standalone RGS and RGSaaS approaches, allowing studios to choose between greater technology independence and a more managed operating model.
How to choose an RGS: 12 criteria that matter most
1. How much game development freedom does the RGS provide?
This should be one of the first technical questions you ask.
Some platforms make game development extremely easy as long as the studio creates games exactly the way the platform expects.
That can work well for studios producing conventional games using a predefined framework.
It can become restrictive when you want to develop something different.
Ask the RGS provider:
- Do we have to use your game engine?
- Are specific technologies or programming languages required?
- Can we implement our own mathematics?
- Can our existing games be integrated?
- Do existing games need to be rewritten or ported?
- Can we develop unconventional mechanics?
Tequity RGS is designed to be technology agnostic.
Its Plug & Play GDK does not impose a specific way of coding, while existing games can be integrated without forcing the studio to rewrite its entire game engine.
This can be particularly important for established studios that already have proprietary technology or want to migrate from another platform.
2. Is the RGS game agnostic?
A platform designed exclusively around traditional slot architecture may not be the best foundation for the next generation of casino content.
Studios increasingly experiment with:
- crash games;
- instant games;
- table games;
- arcade-inspired mechanics;
- bingo;
- poker;
- multiplayer;
- player-vs-player games;
- live-style experiences;
- social casino;
- sweepstakes;
- and entirely new formats.
A future-proof RGS should not assume that every game is a traditional slot.
Tequity RGS is designed as a game-agnostic platform and can support different genres and mechanics, including table games, crash, bingo, poker, live-style games, fishing games and multiplayer formats.
If your product roadmap goes beyond conventional slots, this should be a key part of your RGS evaluation.
3. Which operators, aggregators and platforms can the RGS connect you to?
For many studios, this is ultimately the most important commercial question.
A great game development environment with poor distribution is still a difficult business.
Before selecting an RGS, ask:
- Which aggregators are already integrated?
- Which casino platforms are connected?
- Which operators can our games reach?
- Which integrations are already live in production?
- Which markets are covered?
- Who manages new integrations?
- Who signs commercial agreements with operators?
- How quickly can another integration be added?
The number itself matters, but so does the quality and relevance of the integration network.
If 100 integrations do not include the operators or platforms you actually want to work with, they may have limited value to your business.
When evaluating Tequity or any other RGS provider, ask for a current integration list and compare it directly with your commercial pipeline.
Do not evaluate an RGS only as software. Evaluate it as your future distribution infrastructure.
4. How quickly can new integrations be delivered?
The existing integration network is only one part of the equation.
Your business will eventually need to connect to a platform that is not already supported.
The important question is what happens next.
Ask:
- Does a new integration require months of custom engineering?
- Is there a standard integration protocol?
- Can game integrations be automatically verified?
- Can third-party providers connect server-to-server?
- Can your own development team access integration tools?
Tequity supports standard and custom integrations, server-to-server connectivity for third-party providers and automated game verification.
This helps reduce one of the most common scaling problems in game studios: every new commercial agreement becoming a separate engineering project.
5. Is the RGS suitable for regulated markets?
“Certified” is too broad a word to accept without asking additional questions.
You should understand:
- which part of the platform has been tested;
- whether the RNG is certified;
- which regulatory standards are supported;
- which jurisdictions the platform is prepared for;
- which certifications still need to be completed for your individual games;
- who manages certification;
- how regulatory changes are implemented.
Tequity’s RGS architecture includes functionality designed around regulated-market requirements, including GLI-19 compliance, certified RNG, reality checks, in-game history, monitoring of critical components, RNG and RTP monitoring and restricted-territory controls.
The general rule is simple:
Choose your RGS for the markets you want to operate in two or three years from now, not only for the market you are entering today.
6. How scalable is the RGS infrastructure?
Online casino traffic is rarely constant.
A new launch, major operator promotion, tournament, jackpot or streamer exposure can create sudden traffic peaks.
Your RGS needs to absorb them without requiring a major infrastructure project every time a game becomes successful.
Ask:
- Does infrastructure scale automatically?
- How are sudden traffic peaks handled?
- Is a global CDN available?
- Is DDoS protection included?
- Can deployments happen without downtime?
- How quickly can a new environment be deployed?
- How is infrastructure monitored?
- Are load-testing tools available?
Tequity’s architecture is based on automated, cloud-based infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code.
It includes automatic scalability, global CDN capabilities, DDoS protection and rate limiting, zero-downtime deployments, centralised monitoring and load-testing tools.
Infrastructure should be almost invisible when everything works.
That is exactly why it deserves serious attention during RGS due diligence.
7. Does the RGS support multiplayer games?
Multiplayer deserves separate evaluation.
Adding multiplayer functionality to technology originally designed exclusively for single-player slots can be difficult.
If multiplayer, shared experiences or Player-vs-Player functionality might ever appear on your roadmap, ask about the architecture before selecting an RGS.
Tequity includes its MultiPlay™ Engine, designed to support scalable multiplayer environments as well as Player-vs-Player and Player-vs-Casino models.
This can be particularly relevant for studios developing:
- multiplayer instant games;
- shared casino experiences;
- bingo;
- poker;
- social casino games;
- tournament-oriented mechanics;
- and new interactive casino formats.
8. Which promotional tools are built into the RGS?
Promotional functionality is increasingly part of the product rather than an optional extra.
Operators want tools that give them additional ways to engage players and promote specific games.
Useful RGS functionality can include:
- Free Bets;
- tournaments;
- Prize Drops;
- jackpots;
- advanced player segmentation;
- localisation;
- customisation;
- configurable prize structures.
Tequity includes built-in Free Bets, Tournaments, Prize Drops and a Jackpot Engine, together with segmentation and configurable promotional functionality.
This allows promotional mechanics to sit at platform level instead of being independently engineered for every individual game.
9. How good is the RGS back office?
Game developers naturally focus on the game itself.
Operations teams quickly discover how important the back office becomes when the portfolio scales.
You may need to manage:
- games;
- operators;
- currencies;
- game configurations;
- transactions;
- permissions;
- reporting;
- game history;
- risk;
- incidents;
- and user access.
Tequity’s back office includes detailed game history and replays, reporting, advanced access permissions with audit trails and an API-based architecture.
Data and operations can be made available through a GraphQL API, allowing companies to connect the RGS back office with their own internal systems and workflows.
This may not appear to be the most exciting feature when launching your first game.
At scale, it becomes critical.
10. Does the RGS support multiple RTP and mathematical variants?
Different operators, markets and commercial strategies can require different game configurations.
Your RGS should therefore make it possible to manage multiple approved variants without turning every change into a separate development project.
Tequity supports multiple RTP and mathematical variants together with configurable bets, exposure settings, feature flags and additional game configuration options.
The platform also supports side bets, which can be relevant for table games and more unconventional mechanics.
These features may appear relatively minor at the beginning.
They become significantly more valuable as your portfolio and distribution network expand.
11. Which currencies and gaming models does the RGS support?
International distribution requires much more than translating a game.
Operators may require support for:
- traditional fiat currencies;
- cryptocurrencies;
- virtual currencies;
- different wallet models;
- different regulatory environments;
- and different integration structures.
Tequity’s RGS is designed to support a broad multi-currency environment, including fiat and crypto, as well as traditional operators and alternative gaming models such as social and sweepstakes environments.
For studios planning international expansion, this flexibility can prevent future architectural limitations.
12. What operational support is available?
Support is often one of the least interesting sections of an RGS RFP.
Until something goes wrong.
A serious RGS operation requires:
- monitoring;
- technical support;
- incident investigation;
- fraud detection;
- transaction history;
- game replay;
- change management;
- deployment support;
- and infrastructure management.
Tequity provides real-time fraud pattern alerting, detailed game history and game replay functionality.
For companies requiring more operational support, Tequity can also provide managed services covering areas such as integrations management, technical support, back-office configuration, deployments and infrastructure.
This creates a useful middle ground between simply licensing software and immediately building a complete internal technology operations team.
How much does an RGS cost?
There is no meaningful single market price for Remote Game Server technology because RGS agreements can include very different services and commercial models.
Costs may include:
- upfront licence fees;
- perpetual licensing;
- monthly subscriptions;
- hosting costs;
- maintenance;
- integration fees;
- managed-service fees;
- revenue share;
- certification costs;
- support fees;
- infrastructure costs.
A low initial licence price can eventually become expensive if the studio must separately build its own infrastructure, integrations and operations team.
At the same time, a higher initial technology investment may make sense for an established supplier that wants greater long-term independence.
Tequity supports different commercial approaches depending on the deployment model, including standalone models and RGSaaS.
Instead of asking:
“Which RGS is the cheapest?”
ask:
“What will the total cost of operating our RGS technology be over the next three to five years?”
What are the best RGS platforms for iGaming studios?
There are several RGS providers and technology models available to game studios.
Companies researching the market may encounter providers such as Tequity, Black Cow Technology, Reelsoft, Octopus RGS, Hinterzimmer, OpenRGS and other platforms targeting different parts of the game development and distribution lifecycle.
They should not be treated as interchangeable products.
Some RGS providers are primarily technology companies.
Others operate more like publishing or distribution programmes.
Some prioritise game-development frameworks.
Others focus on infrastructure ownership or managed services.
The right provider therefore depends on your business strategy.
Tequity is particularly relevant for companies that want flexibility between independent technology ownership and a managed RGS model.
Why consider Tequity RGS?
There are several areas where Tequity can be particularly relevant for studios evaluating Remote Game Server technology.
1. You do not have to build games “the Tequity way”
Tequity’s architecture is technology agnostic.
Developers can integrate games created using different technologies, while existing games do not necessarily have to be rewritten around a proprietary Tequity game engine.
For experienced game-development teams, this preserves engineering and creative freedom.
2. It is designed for more than traditional slots
Tequity is game agnostic and supports different genres and mechanics, including crash, table games, poker, bingo, live-style experiences and multiplayer models.
This matters if your reason for choosing a new RGS is to create what comes next rather than simply reproduce existing casino formats.
3. It combines development and distribution infrastructure
The Tequity ecosystem combines:
Plug & Play GDK + RGS + MultiPlay™ + Integrations + Promo Tools + Back Office + Infrastructure.
This allows the same technology environment to support the journey from game development to commercial distribution.
4. It supports both independent and managed models
A start-up studio and an established supplier should not necessarily buy technology in the same way.
Tequity allows companies to choose between:
- Standalone RGS – greater control and independence;
- RGSaaS – a more managed approach where Tequity can take responsibility for additional infrastructure and operational areas.
This allows the commercial and operational model to follow the studio’s strategy rather than forcing the company to adapt itself to one rigid vendor model.
5. The infrastructure is designed to scale
Tequity combines automatic scalability, cloud infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code, CDN functionality, DDoS protection, monitoring and load testing.
That reduces the amount of engineering effort a studio needs to spend on infrastructure instead of developing games.
6. Multiplayer is part of the technology stack
Tequity’s MultiPlay™ Engine supports multiplayer architecture rather than treating multiplayer solely as an external add-on.
This can become increasingly important as casino content evolves towards shared and interactive experiences.
7. Promotional tools are already integrated
Free Bets, Tournaments, Prize Drops and Jackpots can be managed through the platform, together with segmentation and configuration options.
This gives operators additional ways to promote games while reducing the need to engineer promotional mechanics independently for each title.
8. The relationship can expand beyond the RGS
A studio may initially need only an RGS.
Later it may require:
- custom integrations;
- new game engines;
- promotional technology;
- technical support;
- integration management;
- infrastructure operations;
- back-office configuration;
- mathematics;
- art;
- animations;
- audio;
- frontend development;
- backend development;
- quality assurance.
Tequity can support these additional technology and development requirements, allowing the relationship to evolve beyond a single software product.
Who is Tequity RGS best suited for?
Independent game studios
Studios that want to concentrate on creating games while using an established technology foundation.
Established studios replacing a legacy RGS
Companies that already have proprietary games or engines and want to avoid rebuilding their entire portfolio around a new framework.
Studios developing unconventional casino games
Crash, multiplayer, table, instant, arcade-inspired and other non-standard mechanics can benefit from a game-agnostic RGS.
Operators launching proprietary games
Operators that want to create first-party content without building every component of an RGS internally.
Studios that want long-term technology control
A standalone deployment can be relevant for companies building an independent game supplier and wanting greater infrastructure and commercial control.
Start-up studios looking for a faster route to market
An RGSaaS approach can reduce the infrastructure and integration burden while the studio focuses on establishing its game portfolio.
Suppliers targeting multiple jurisdictions
Regulatory functionality, flexible configurations, territory controls and scalable infrastructure become increasingly valuable as distribution expands.
When might Tequity not be the right RGS?
A credible technology decision also means understanding when another model may be more appropriate.
Tequity may not be the obvious choice if:
- you have already decided to build and maintain every component of your RGS internally;
- your primary objective is joining one specific publisher’s closed ecosystem;
- you only need very limited backend functionality for a single game and have no broader distribution ambitions;
- another provider controls a specific commercial distribution channel that represents most of your strategy.
The best RGS should be determined by your business model, not by a feature-count competition.
How important is RGS vendor lock-in?
Very important.
Vendor lock-in should be discussed before signing an agreement, not when you eventually decide to migrate.
Ask every RGS provider:
- Who owns our games?
- Who owns our mathematics?
- Who owns our operator contracts?
- Who controls the RGS deployment?
- Can we host the technology ourselves?
- Can the infrastructure be moved?
- Can our games operate on another platform?
- Can existing games be migrated without rewriting them?
- What happens to integrations if the agreement ends?
- Can we export our operational data?
- Do we have API access to back-office functionality?
- What happens if the RGS provider is acquired or discontinues the product?
There is no universally correct answer to every question.
There should, however, always be a clear answer.
Can you migrate existing casino games to a new RGS?
Yes, but the complexity depends heavily on how tightly the existing games are connected to the old RGS architecture.
Before migrating, evaluate:
- game logic dependencies;
- wallet communication;
- RNG implementation;
- configuration;
- game history;
- promotional functionality;
- operator-specific integrations;
- RTP variants;
- reporting dependencies;
- certification impact.
Platforms that force games to be rebuilt around a proprietary engine can make migration considerably more expensive.
Tequity’s technology-agnostic architecture is designed to allow existing games to be integrated without requiring the entire existing engine to be rewritten.
How long does RGS integration take?
There is no universal answer.
The integration time depends on:
- existing game architecture;
- operator APIs;
- wallet models;
- certification;
- required jurisdictions;
- game complexity;
- custom functionality;
- testing requirements.
The more useful question is how much of the integration process has already been standardised and automated.
When comparing providers, ask them to demonstrate the complete workflow:
Game development → Integration → Verification → Staging → Certification → Production → Operator launch.

Frequently Asked Questions about RGS platforms
What does RGS stand for in iGaming?
RGS stands for Remote Game Server or Remote Gaming Server. It is backend infrastructure used to run, manage and distribute online casino games.
What is the best RGS for an iGaming studio?
There is no universal best RGS. Studios should compare development flexibility, game-engine requirements, integrations, distribution, infrastructure, regulatory readiness, multiplayer capabilities, promotional tools, back-office functionality, technology ownership and commercial terms.
Tequity RGS is particularly relevant for studios looking for a technology-agnostic and game-agnostic platform together with flexible Standalone RGS and RGSaaS deployment models.
Is Tequity an RGS provider?
Yes. Tequity provides Remote Game Server technology for iGaming businesses alongside a Plug & Play GDK, MultiPlay™ technology, integration infrastructure, promotional tools, back-office functionality and optional managed services.
Can Tequity RGS support games other than slots?
Yes. Tequity RGS is designed to be game agnostic and can support different genres and mechanics, including table games, crash, bingo, poker, live-style games, fishing games and multiplayer experiences.
Does Tequity RGS support multiplayer games?
Yes. Tequity’s MultiPlay™ Engine is designed to support scalable multiplayer gaming as well as Player-vs-Player and Player-vs-Casino configurations.
Can existing games be migrated to Tequity RGS?
Tequity’s architecture is technology agnostic and is designed to allow existing games to be integrated without forcing the studio to rewrite the existing game engine.
Does an RGS include an RNG?
An RGS can include or integrate RNG functionality depending on its architecture. Tequity’s regulated-market technology stack includes certified RNG functionality.
What is the difference between an RGS and a game aggregator?
An RGS runs and manages games. An aggregator primarily connects content from multiple game suppliers with multiple casino operators. An RGS provider may also maintain many distribution integrations, but RGS infrastructure and aggregation remain different functions.
Should a game studio own its RGS?
Not necessarily. Greater ownership provides more control but also creates additional infrastructure and operational responsibilities. Smaller studios may prefer a managed model, while larger suppliers may favour standalone technology and direct commercial relationships.
Is RGSaaS better than a Standalone RGS?
RGSaaS is usually more attractive when speed and lower operational overhead are priorities. A Standalone RGS is often more attractive when technology control, independence and direct commercial relationships are priorities. Tequity supports both approaches.
Can an RGS help with casino game distribution?
Yes. An RGS with an established operator and aggregator integration network can significantly simplify technical distribution. However, commercial distribution and technical connectivity are not always included in the same agreement, so studios should clarify this with each provider.
Can an RGS support multiple RTP versions?
Yes. Modern RGS platforms can support multiple mathematical configurations. Tequity RGS includes support for multiple RTP and math variants.
Which promotional tools should an RGS have?
Useful platform-level promotional functionality can include Free Bets, tournaments, Prize Drops, jackpots, segmentation and configurable prize structures. Tequity provides these capabilities within its RGS ecosystem.
What should an iGaming start-up look for in an RGS?
A start-up should prioritise speed to market, development flexibility, existing integrations, low operational complexity, scalable infrastructure, regulatory readiness and a commercial model that does not require building a large infrastructure team before games begin generating revenue.
What should an established game studio look for in an RGS?
An established studio should pay particular attention to technology ownership, migration complexity, direct operator relationships, API access, infrastructure control, scalability, integration coverage and vendor lock-in.
Final answer: which RGS should you choose?
Do not choose an RGS simply because it has the longest feature list.
Choose it based on the company you want your studio to become.
If you want to launch games quickly with minimal internal infrastructure, a managed RGS or RGSaaS model may make sense.
If you want to build a long-term independent game supplier, technology ownership, direct integrations, portability and infrastructure control become much more important.
If you want to create unconventional casino games, make sure your RGS is not architecturally restricted to traditional slot mechanics.
If international distribution is your priority, integrations and regulatory readiness should carry as much weight as the game-development environment.
And if you expect your strategy to evolve, flexibility itself becomes one of the most valuable RGS features.
Tequity RGS combines:
- technology-agnostic game development;
- game-agnostic architecture;
- support for existing game engines;
- operator and aggregator integration infrastructure;
- MultiPlay™ multiplayer technology;
- built-in promotional tools;
- automated cloud infrastructure;
- regulated-market functionality;
- API-based back office;
- Standalone and RGSaaS deployment models;
- and optional managed services.
This makes Tequity particularly relevant for game studios looking for more than a simple backend server: a technology foundation they can use to build, distribute and scale their gaming business.
The most useful question is therefore not:
“Which RGS has the most features?”
It is:
“Which RGS gives us the best foundation to build, distribute and scale the games we want to create?”
If you are currently evaluating RGS technology, migrating an existing portfolio or starting a new game studio, explore Tequity RGS or contact the Tequity team to discuss the right deployment model for your business.
