Gaming Operators

Welcome to the Sentinal® Integration Documentation for Gaming Operators. This guide is specifically tailored for Gaming Operators seeking to integrate seamlessly with the Sentinal® system. Built on REST principles, the Sentinal® API offers a secure, auditable, and standardised integration experience for managing wagers, payouts, and financial compliance.

This documentation outlines what gaming operators are, their responsibilities in the Sentinal® ecosystem, and the key API endpoints required for integration.

What are Gaming Operators in the Sentinal® Ecosystem?

Gaming operators are licensed entities that offer games of chance, skill, or betting to users in digital or physical environments. These operators manage user wagers, handle payouts, and are responsible for maintaining regulatory compliance around financial transactions, taxation, and responsible gaming.

In the Sentinal® ecosystem, gaming operators must accurately record each wager placed and each payout issued, providing traceability for auditing and reporting purposes.

Responsibilities of Gaming Operators Integrating with Sentinal®

As a gaming operator integrating with the Sentinal® system, you are responsible for:

1. Wager Capture: Record every user wager placed on your platform, including metadata such as wager amount, customer identifiers, and optional geolocation data. This ensures that all betting activity is traceable and auditable.

2. Payout Capture: Log all payouts made following successful wagers, ensuring each payout is directly linked to the original wager. This creates a consistent and traceable transaction trail.

3. Transaction Integrity: Maintain the integrity of transaction records to enable regulatory bodies to monitor financial flows, detect anomalies, and ensure accurate tax assessments.

Key API Endpoints for Gaming Operator Integration

To fulfill these responsibilities, gaming operators must integrate with the following Sentinal® API endpoints:

1. Capture Wager

• Endpoint: /captureWager

• Method: POST

• Description: Record a new wager placed by a customer. The system will return a unique wagerId that must be referenced in any corresponding payout.

• Integration Details: Capture Wager Details

2. Capture Payout

• Endpoint: /capturePayout

• Method: POST

• Description: Record a payout issued after a wager is settled. Must include a reference to the original wager for traceability.

All wagers and payouts are recorded in a secure, immutable system to support tax reporting, fraud detection, and gaming compliance. Sentinal® supports national regulatory frameworks and offers full audit trails for inspection by gaming authorities and licensing bodies.

By integrating with the Sentinal® platform, gaming operators ensure full transparency across user transactions, enabling trust with regulators and players alike. If you have questions or require onboarding assistance, please contact our support team at [email protected].
