Stake opens Engine platform to other operators in B2B push

Stake is opening its casino game-development platform to other betting and gaming operators, shifting technology originally built for its own business into a broader business-to-business product.

The platform, previously called Stake Engine, has been rebranded as Engine. It will allow operators to access creator-made games and development tools through a single integration, extending distribution beyond Stake.

Studios and other creators, including developers, streamers and affiliates, will be able to develop and distribute games through the system. Operators can also use its infrastructure to establish their own creator networks.

Engine’s network comprises more than 1,000 game publishers and providers; each week, more than 250 titles enter development. Stake said games built through the platform had generated turnover exceeding $23 billion, based on 9.7 billion bets.

Engine brings development, testing, approval, deployment, distribution and monetisation together on a single platform. Hayden Bruin, Engine’s head of operations, said that, in some cases, a developer could reach launch within 24 hours of having an idea.

“We’re building on that solid foundation that we’ve created and taking the Engine model beyond Stake,” Stake co-founder Ed Craven said. “We want creators to be able to build new and exciting games, and broaden that reach to audiences across the industry.”

Stake is closely linked to Melbourne-based technology company EasyGo, which reported $970 million in revenue and $257 million in net profit for 2024/25.
