Comtrade Gaming

Comtrade Gaming traces its origins to 2001, when its parent organisation first undertook gaming‑software projects, but the dedicated gaming division was formally established in 2013. It operates as a privately held entity within the Comtrade Group, a group that employs over 1,000 engineering resources globally. The company’s headquarters are in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and its LinkedIn profile lists a company size of 201–500 employees.

Products and Platforms

Comtrade Gaming’s product portfolio is built around an open, modular architecture that supports both online and land‑based operations:

- iCore – The primary online gaming platform, offering a full suite of player‑management, game‑aggregation, bonus, and compliance tools. It is designed for multi‑jurisdictional deployment and has been certified in regulated markets such as Brazil. - sCore – A server‑based gaming system for land‑based casinos, enabling central control, G2S protocol communication, and real‑time monitoring of slot machines. - Gaming Systems Management – A modular system that includes central control systems, progressive jackpot networks, and reporting tools for operators and regulators. - Live Casino – A platform for live‑dealer games, integrating with the iCore ecosystem. - Regulatory Solutions – Tools that allow regulators to monitor and control gaming activities in real time, including player‑account tracking and responsible‑gaming features.

The company also offers professional services such as system integration, custom development, managed hosting, and 24/7 support.

Market Position and Recent Developments

Comtrade Gaming has long served as a technology partner for top‑tier operators. Testimonials from Bally Technologies, Genting, Ainsworth, and Bet Arena Interactive highlight the platform’s reliability, scalability, and ability to handle complex regulatory environments. In 2025, the company entered the Brazilian regulated market with operator Betaqi and signed a landmark partnership with DigiPlus in the Philippines, reinforcing its capability to support enterprise‑scale clients. The same year saw a major iCore platform upgrade that introduced enhanced engagement tools, loyalty systems, gamification features, and AI‑powered predictive modelling.

In 2026, Comtrade Gaming continued its expansion, signing a platform agreement with Canadian Bank Note Company (CBN) to power the operator’s Central American and other regulated offerings. Chief Commercial Officer Steven Valentine has emphasised that AI, regulatory complexity, and taxation pressures are the three forces shaping the industry, and that the company’s roadmap focuses on sustainable scaling and proactive intelligence for operators.

Licensing and Compliance

Comtrade Gaming holds certifications and licences in multiple regulated jurisdictions, including Brazil, and works with operators in markets across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The company’s solutions are built on industry standards such as G2S, enabling seamless integration with existing land‑based infrastructure. Its compliance‑first approach has made it a preferred supplier for operators entering newly regulated markets.

Competition and Differentiators

Competing against global platform providers like GAN, Playtech, and Evolution Gaming, Comtrade Gaming differentiates itself through its independent, standards‑based architecture and strong heritage in systems integration from the broader Comtrade Group. Its ability to support both online and land‑based operations from a single platform, combined with a deep pool of engineering resources, gives it a unique position in the market. The company has not publicly disclosed any external funding rounds, suggesting it is funded organically through its parent group.
