Valkyrie - Decoupling the iGaming industry

Domination

Currently the iGaming industry is dominated by a number of aggregators, i.e. platforms offering game providers and gaming operators ways to integrate. These platforms offer a way for providers to spread their content to more operators and for operators to add more interesting games in their customer offerings. At a cost.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie challenges current state by providing free integrations, bypassing the commercial aggregators and hence potentially decrease cost and increase profit for operators as well as providers. It's all open source!

Software

The Valkyrie software provides a generic interface for operator integration and game provider specific modules which can be enabled on a per provider basis. It's all tied together with a couple of core components handling basic stuff such as logging, tracing, routing and such.
In addition there are test benches simulating providers as well as operators, and some operational guidance setting up Kubernetes and similar, available.

Open source

All of the above is freely accessible on GitHub and free to use by whoever interested. Contributions to the software are most welcome as well!
Currently there is only a handful of providers having integrated with Valkyrie, but the more the merrier! Relevance and attraction will increase gradually as more players enter the free iGaming integration space.
