Split the Pot

Split The Pot is a B2B casino game development studio headquartered in Stockholm, with an operational presence in Johannesburg, South Africa. Founded in 2019, the studio builds instant cash-out games designed for mobile-first audiences in emerging markets. Its commercial role is specific: it fills the casual instant games layer that most slot-first studios leave unaddressed, particularly in markets where data costs, device constraints, and sportsbook-led player behavior shape how people engage with casino content. The studio was named Crash Game Provider of the Year at the iGA Summit Awards 2026, reflecting meaningful traction with operators and across the industry for the format it has built.

The game software provider’s catalog covers cash-out games, crash games, multistep progression titles, wheel-based instant games, and ball-drop formats. The portfolio totals more than 20 titles. This is not a slot-first catalog; the mechanics are built around real-time player decisions and cash-out logic rather than reel-based RNG structures.

The defining mechanic across the game solution provider’s catalog is player-controlled cashout. Players set or respond to a growing multiplier and decide when to exit before a crash or penalty event occurs. Variations include linear multiplier curves (Comet Crash), multistep grid progression with penalty fields (Gold Rush, Archeo), wheel-based outcomes (Wheel of Fortune, Spin$), and ball-drop physics (Plinko). Several titles support auto-bet functionality. Multiplayer round visibility — where players can see each other's active bets within a round — is present across the catalog and adds a social layer that drives reinvestment behavior. The format is meaningfully different from slot mechanics and occupies its own behavioral segment in a casino portfolio.

Mobile optimization is the studio's primary design constraint. STP’s slot technologies are built on a lightweight HTML5 engine sized for low-bandwidth connections and older handsets. Low data consumption is a deliberate product specification aimed at markets where mobile data costs create real friction. All titles are browser-based and compatible across mobile and desktop platforms without requiring native app installation. The trade-off is that audio and visual production values are calibrated to performance requirements rather than premium presentation standards.

The strongest fit is for operators running sportsbook-led businesses in Africa, Asia, or Latin America, where the casino vertical serves as a cross-sell to an existing sports betting base. The format's low learning curve makes it an effective acquisition bridge between sports and casino without requiring players to understand RNG slot mechanics. Operators with established relationships in markets like Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa will find the studio's existing operator footprint — which includes BetKing, SportPesa, PrideBet, HollywoodBets, and Supabets — commercially validating. The format also works for mid-market operators, adding instant games as a session-depth retention tool alongside their primary online casino operators' slot catalogs.

The primary segment is mobile-first, casual players who bet primarily on sports and engage with casino content opportunistically. These players respond to fast rounds, low minimum stakes, and simple decision structures. The cashout mechanic also attracts players who prefer perceived agency over pure RNG outcomes — a segment that Aviator-style crash games have grown substantially in emerging markets. Secondary segments include mid-core players looking for short-session variety alongside their main slot or live casino activity.

Free rounds are supported across the catalog and can be deployed as a standard bonus mechanic. Operator-configurable RTP is available, giving product teams direct control over theoretical margin by title without renegotiating the provider contract. The slot game company also supports in-game leaderboards, which are useful for tournament structures and can be activated across multiple titles simultaneously. These tools cover the core promotional requirements — bonus campaigns, tournaments, and retention incentives — at the level most product teams need for casual instant game content. The in-game chat and voting features present in some titles can support community-driven promo activation for operators with social engagement strategies.

Yes. For example, the Zama Fruits series demonstrates the studio's willingness to build geo-specific products rather than apply generic global themes. Rugby Run was developed with South African sports culture in mind. This localization approach is relevant for operators whose brand positioning emphasizes market relevance. Operators entering specific African markets can use these titles as part of a localized content strategy, rather than relying solely on European-themed slot content that may not resonate with the local audience.

Operators should evaluate four factors: whether their audience aligns with the mobile-first sportsbook segment STP targets, whether crash and instant games are already performing in their markets, whether deployment will occur directly or through an aggregator, and whether the studio's certification scope aligns with local compliance requirements. RTP data for individual titles should be requested directly from the provider for regulatory verification.

Larger gambling software game providers build for breadth and premium production value. Their catalogs run into the hundreds of titles, optimized for maximum graphical fidelity and feature complexity, targeting mature European and North American casino audiences. Split The Pot builds for depth within a specific format and market context. The portfolio is smaller, the production aesthetic is lighter, and the target player profile is different, all deliberate market choices.

Split The Pot games are accessible through casino game aggregation. For operators using a platform like GR8 Tech's Infinite Casino Aggregation, the studio's content can be accessed via the existing single-API connection, eliminating the need for a direct bilateral integration. This is the operationally efficient path for operators, where the studio serves as a supplementary portfolio role. Accessing a boutique instant games provider through a casino aggregator eliminates the overhead of a separate commercial negotiation, technical integration, and ongoing maintenance relationship — costs that are disproportionate when the content fills a niche rather than an anchor position in the portfolio.

The studio provides API integration, developer documentation, and live support. The Split The Pot API connects to the operator's platform via standard iGaming integration patterns, supporting wallet connectivity, RTP configuration, and reporting. Cloud-based deployment is the default architecture, reducing the operator's server-side infrastructure requirements. Third-party certification covers the compliance baseline. For operators integrating directly, the studio's documentation and support structure is designed for straightforward deployment. For operators on an aggregation platform with an existing STP connection, integration work is handled at the aggregator layer — the operator's team configures content settings rather than managing the technical integration.

Yes. For operators on GR8 Tech's Infinite Casino Aggregation, Split The Pot games online casino deployment is available within the existing infrastructure. The aggregator manages the provider connection, certification coordination, and reporting unification. This means product teams can activate, test, and measure STP content without committing internal development resources to a direct integration cycle.

For direct integration, operators should expect standard iGaming provider integration scope: API connection, wallet integration, game configuration (RTP, stake limits), front-end placement, and QA. The studio provides documentation and integration support, and cloud-based deployment reduces infrastructure complexity. The specific timeline and technical requirements should be confirmed directly with the studio, as they vary by operator platform.

The relevant compliance checks depend on the operator's regulated jurisdictions, not solely on the aggregation layer. Operators should verify: that the studio's third-party certification covers the RNG and fairness standards required by each relevant regulator; that per-title RTP figures, which are not publicly disclosed are available for submission to regulators where required; that responsible gambling tooling (session limits, self-exclusion, reality checks) can be applied to instant game formats in each jurisdiction; and that the instant games format classification is correctly mapped to the operator's license categories, as some regulators treat crash games differently from traditional casino games. GR8 Tech's casino aggregator provides centralized compliance support and can assist with jurisdiction-specific configuration, but the operator retains responsibility for regulatory submissions in their licensed markets.
