St8 business development manager David Fall discusses how the company builds long-term partnerships and delivers products and services that go far beyond simple content aggregation.

Tell us more about St8 and the vision behind your aggregation solutions.

St8 was created to address a clear gap in the aggregation space: too much complexity and slow execution. While many aggregation services exist, they often require lengthy integrations and fragmented solutions. We took a different approach by being simple, fast, and reliable. Our single-API solution enables operators and providers to go live quickly, dramatically reducing time to market while ensuring stable, high-performance delivery.

Our vision is to simplify operations across the entire ecosystem by providing practical, scalable solutions for both operators and providers. We go beyond traditional content aggregation by offering a 360-degree service layer, including bonusing capabilities, real-time reporting and dashboards, promotions software for managing multiple campaigns, a thumbnails API, and a unified customer area. By bringing all of this into one streamlined platform, we remove operational friction, improve efficiency, and allow our partners to focus on growth rather than complexity.

How does St8 enable operators to go live quickly while maintaining flexibility and control over their content strategy?

At St8, we design our products and services with operators in mind. Our single API, free of technical debt, allows fast integration and enables operators to respond quickly to player demand. Operators gain access to over 200 top-tier providers across multiple verticals, delivering high-quality content rapidly. Built on robust technical foundations, we ensure smooth launches and long-term scalability without compromising performance.

In line with our vision, flexibility and ease of use sit at the core of our platform. Operators can quickly enable providers with minimal effort, while all operational processes, including reporting, invoicing, bonusing, promotions, and thumbnails, are managed within one centralised client area. By simplifying day-to-day operations, we help operators stay in control, optimise performance, and focus on growth.

Regulatory coverage is critical for expansion. How does St8 help operators enter and operate in regulated markets with confidence?

Going back to our 360-degree approach, St8 goes beyond just robust technology. We ensure that our solutions are fully aligned with regulatory requirements, integrating compliance seamlessly into everything we do. This allows our partner operators to enter and operate in regulated markets with confidence, without having to manage technical or regulatory complexity themselves.

Our platform supports flexible and scalable operations across multiple jurisdictions and is licensed by key regulators, including the UKGC, MGA, AGCO in Ontario, and ONJN in Romania, with additional licences in the pipeline. Our solutions are also fully adapted to other highly sought-after regulated markets such as Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Portugal. For instance, tools like our Checksum API provide operators with a reliable way to verify game data and maintain secure operations at scale, ensuring a transparent, audit-ready reporting trail. Together with a flexible operating model and robust technical infrastructure, this enables us and our partners to rapidly adapt to new jurisdictional requirements and confidently enter and operate in new markets.

Managing multiple suppliers can create significant operational complexity. How does St8 remove that burden for operators on a day-to-day basis?

One of the core pillars we stand by at St8 is simplicity. We simplify operations by centralising all content and processes in a single platform. Through our single API, operators gain access to over 200 top-tier providers across multiple verticals, enabling content quickly without the need for multiple integrations.

I might repeat myself, but translated for operators, this means that all daily tasks are managed from a single source. Enabling content, creating and managing bonuses across different providers and verticals, opting in for promotions, and other day-to-day operations are all handled within a single, unified back office. Reporting, invoicing, and even thumbnail management are fully integrated. This centralised approach minimises manual work by eliminating the need to access and manage multiple systems. Ultimately, it allows operators to focus on strategy and growth rather than the complexities of managing multiple suppliers.

How does St8 help operators translate aggregated content into higher engagement, stronger retention, and improved overall performance?

Engagement, retention, and overall performance are not driven by a single factor, but by several elements working together cohesively.

First, stable technology is critical. A solid technical infrastructure with no disruptions or downtime ensures consistent, smooth performance and forms the foundation for a reliable player experience.

Second, content variety and quality. Operators gain access to hundreds of top-tier providers through a single platform, giving players a rich and varied selection of high-quality games. This keeps experiences fresh, encourages exploration, and increases repeat visits.

Third, personalisation at scale. By centralising data across all aggregated content, operators can understand player behavior across multiple providers, enabling smarter recommendations, more relevant promotions, and curated lobbies tailored to each player.

Finally, promotions, bonuses, and rewards play a crucial role. Through our Bonus API, instant bonusing across multiple providers, whether free spins, cash bonuses, or feature triggers, runs automatically and in real time. Our Promotions Tool provides a comprehensive view of all provider campaigns and promotions, allowing operators to easily opt in, with all activity automatically reflected in invoices and eliminating manual work. With full transparency, tracking, and reporting down to the game level, plus automatic calculations that remove the need for spreadsheets or reconciliations, operators can deliver a seamless, rewarding experience that drives retention and performance.

Why should operators view St8 as a long-term strategic partner rather than simply an aggregation solution?

As mentioned, our vision goes far beyond basic content aggregation. Our services are what truly set us apart. We focus on building strong, long-term relationships and actively supporting our partners’ growth with solutions that are simple, reliable and built to last. We don’t just streamline day-to-day operations or enable scaling across multiple verticals and markets; we work closely with our partners, listen to their needs, and adapt as their businesses evolve. 

A key example of this is our support services. We provide 24/7 instant access to our team when it matters most; no emails, no lengthy escalation processes, and no delays. Combined with our flexible operating model, regulatory readiness, and 360-degree operational tools, we act as a true extension of our partners’ teams, helping them move faster, resolve issues immediately, and grow with confidence over time.
