Hub88 Review
7.4/10Yolo Group's game aggregator: a crypto-first content hub claiming 26,000+ games, sole aggregation supplier to Stake.com since May 2024, with public API docs, seamless or transfer wallet integration, and a product suite spanning promotions, settlement, and analytics.
Our read
A claimed 26,000+ titles across slots, live, table, crash, and instant formats (site, Jul 2026), with sweepstakes-ready content as a differentiator.
The strongest dimension. Fully public docs, RSA-SHA256 signed requests, seamless and transfer wallet models, and a defined staging-to-production path with up to 27 tests.
Malta is published and the UAE vendor license (Oct 2025) is real and rare. The UK, Ontario, and EU claims remain unverified in registers, and no technical certifications are listed.
Eight years of operation, no public incidents or regulatory actions, and an IGA 2025 win. Deducted for claim-level disclosures and the parent group's mid-sale turbulence.
Nothing is published: no rates, no fees, no minimums. Consolidated invoicing and HubWallet settlement are pluses, but a buyer negotiates blind.
HubConnect promotions, Freebets, tournaments, Player Analytics, and HubAI cover more ground than most aggregators, and the 24/7 support claim is backed by an EGR 2026 customer-service shortlist.
Methodology. Our own score, a weighted average of six dimensions, tilted toward content library and compliance. Commercials cap this file. Hub88 publishes no rates, no fees, and no minimums, and revenue share is discussed only in consultation, so the transparency dimension drags an otherwise strong offer down to 7.4. What carries the score is the engineering (public docs, signed requests, both wallet models) plus content breadth and the 2026 product cadence, all graded from the sourced dataset instead of vendor copy. Read the full methodology
- Sole aggregator for Stake.com since May 2024, about as strong a reference as a crypto-facing aggregator can have.
- Public developer docs at docs.hub88.io with RSA-SHA256 signed requests, a documented 27-test staging cycle, and both seamless and transfer wallet APIs.
- Crypto-first heritage from Coingaming: BTC, ETH, LTC plus altcoins, provably fair titles, and crypto settlement through HubWallet.
- Steady product shipping: HubConnect (2024), HubWallet, Player Analytics (Feb 2026), HubAI Page Insights (Apr 2026), Blask market data in HubMarket (Jun 2026).
- Best Game Aggregator at the International Gaming Awards 2025, backed by three EGR B2B 2026 shortlists including Best customer service.
- Pricing is fully opaque. No rate card, setup fees, or minimums anywhere public, and revenue share is discussed only in consultation.
- Most of the license list is claim-level. Only the Malta number is published, and the UKGC license announced in May 2025 was not on the public register when we checked in July 2026.
- Grey-market exposure runs through the client base, which centers on Curacao-licensed crypto operators led by Stake.com.
- The parent group is mid-transition: Yolo is selling Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io, reportedly in final-stage talks with Betsson (Feb 2026) at a sub-EUR 50m valuation, so the corporate ground under Hub88 is still moving.
Crypto-first and Curacao-licensed operators that want one API into a very large catalog, with seamless wallet integration and settlement handled through HubWallet. Also US sweepstakes brands following the Legendz playbook, and UAE operators now that the GCGRA vendor license is in place.
Real-money US operators, and UK-first buyers until the announced UKGC license shows up on the public register. Anyone who needs published pricing or register-verified compliance across many markets before shortlisting a vendor.
Markets & licensing
Hub88 holds one license you can check: Malta, MGA/B2B/536/2018, printed in its own site footer. The UAE GCGRA vendor license (October 2025) is real and rare. Everything else on its compliance list, including the UKGC license announced in May 2025, is a company claim we could not verify in public registers as of July 2026.
Hub88 holds no US state supplier licenses and does not serve real-money US operators. Its US presence runs through the sweepstakes model: social casino Legendz launched Hub88 content across 43 states in December 2024, with 1,000+ titles from Playson, Kalamba, and Booming Games. For a licensed US iGaming operator, Hub88 is not currently an option.
Hub88 announced a UKGC license in May 2025 and repeats the claim in its press boilerplate, but we could not locate Hub88 or HUB88 Limited on the UKGC public register as of July 2026. That could be a register-search limitation or licensing under a different entity name, so UK-facing operators should ask Hub88 for the account number and verify it directly before contracting. Until then, treat the UK claim as unconfirmed.

Licensing tier: Mid-tier on verified evidence. One published license number plus a new UAE vendor license held by a separate entity is thinner than the register-verified spread of tier-1 suppliers, even if every company claim turns out to be accurate.
Conservative list. Hub88 content reaches far more markets through its operators' own licenses, led by Curacao-licensed crypto brands, and the company claims UK, Ontario, Sweden, Romania, and Greece authorizations that remain company-claimed rather than register-confirmed.
No US state supplier licenses. The US route is sweepstakes only, live via Legendz since December 2024.
Casino content
The catalog at a glance: its size, the game types on offer, the jackpot model, and whether the provider builds its own titles or aggregates third-party studios.
From content only, to an operator-configurable platform engine, to a cross-operator network.
Integrations & engineering
One contract and one API instead of a separate deal per studio, feed, or PSP. Here's what connects, how fast, and on what stack.
One REST/JSON integration opens the catalog. Request bodies are signed with RSA-SHA256 keys the operator generates via OpenSSL, and the wallet runs seamless by default: Hub88 calls the operator's own Wallet API against a single balance, with idempotent transactions keyed by UUID and automatic rollback retried up to 500 times with exponential backoff. A separate TransferWallet API covers transfer-wallet setups. The documented path is staging configuration (wallet type, currencies, endpoint, IPs, public key), staging tests, production configuration, and production tests, with Recommendations and Freebets available as optional modules. The same connection brings HubConnect for promotions, HubWallet for settlement, and the analytics products.
Hub88 markets integration in as little as three days (vendor claim, July 2026). The docs describe a four-stage staging-to-production flow with up to 27 staging tests and no fixed duration.
Products & tools
Everything Hub88 ships hangs off one aggregation API, with HubConnect handling promotions and partner workflows and HubWallet plus the analytics products covering settlement and data.
Casino Aggregation API
The core product: one REST/JSON integration into a claimed 26,000+ game catalog from 200+ content partners, with RSA-signed requests and a seamless wallet model documented in public developer docs.

- Optional Recommendations API and Freebets API modules

- Direct B2B payments between Hub88 and its partners
- No manual invoicing on settlement
- Low-cost FX on cross-currency flows

Player Analytics, HubAI & HubMarket
The data layer added through 2026: a Player Analytics product for user-behavior reporting, the HubAI assistant, and HubMarket, a marketplace that plugs third-party services like Blask market intelligence into the same account.
- Player Analytics launched February 2026 for a full view of player behavior
- HubAI assistant, upgraded with Page Insights in April 2026
- HubMarket third-party marketplace, Blask AI market intelligence added June 2026

On the record
The history that matters: the milestones, the scale, the awards, and who runs it.
Hub88 was set up in 2018 as the B2B aggregation arm of Coingaming Group, the Tallinn company behind crypto casinos Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io, and its MGA license number carries that founding year. Coingaming rebranded to Yolo Group in September 2021 and restructured its B2B assets under a dedicated subsidiary a month later. Since July 2025 the B2B portfolio (Hub88, Live88, Odds88, OneTouch) reports to CEO Lara Falzon, while the wider group exits grey-market B2C and negotiates the sale of Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io to Betsson, reported at final stage in February 2026.

Hub88 vs alternatives
The same attributes, side by side, from our normalized provider set, useful for seeing where this vendor fits against its peers.
| Attribute | Hub88 | St8 | SOFTSWISS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Founded | 2018 | 2021 | 2009 |
| Team | 49+ | 25+ | 2,000+ |
| Games | 26,000+ | 19,000+ | 40,000+ |
| Game studios | 200+ | 200+ | 300+ |
| In-house studio | Distribution | No | Yes |
| Sportsbook | — | — | Yes |
| Crypto | — | — | Yes |
| Licenses | MGA, UKGC, Sweden +4 | UKGC, MGA, Ontario +4 | MGA, Greece, Romania +3 |
| US market | Restricted | Restricted | Restricted |
| Pricing | On request | On request | On request |
The take: St8 was founded by Hub88's former head and chases the same crypto-leaning operators with a newer, leaner stack. Hub88 answers with eight years of track record, the Stake.com exclusive, and a wider product suite, though neither vendor publishes pricing. SOFTSWISS Game Aggregator is the platform-attached alternative: a bigger claimed catalog and a natural fit if you already run the SOFTSWISS platform, at the cost of deepening a single-vendor dependency. Pick Hub88 when you want a platform-independent aggregator with crypto in its DNA and can accept claim-level compliance in several markets.
Pricing & terms
Hub88 keeps its numbers off the record: pricing is quoted per deal, under NDA. Below is what's public about the model and terms.
Revenue share on game GGR, negotiated per deal, with one consolidated billing relationship replacing per-studio fees. No Hub88-specific rates are public. The market-wide benchmark for aggregator markup over studio-direct rates is roughly 5-15% of game GGR (2026).
Pricing is on request. Public intel: a revenue-share model with consolidated invoicing, vendor claims of up to 80% operational-overhead reduction versus direct studio deals and integration in as little as three days, and HubWallet handling B2B settlement (direct payments, low-cost FX, no manual invoicing, crypto payments). No public setup fees, monthly minimums, or rate ranges found as of Jul 2026.
The aggregation deal
Integration path
- 1Contact Hub88 sales for a consultation, since pricing and revenue-share terms are only discussed per deal
- 2Contract with HUB88 Limited (Malta) and map which of your target markets its licenses and claimed authorizations actually cover
- 3Generate an RSA keypair and configure the staging environment: wallet type (seamless or transfer), currencies, your Wallet API endpoint, and whitelisted IPs
- 4Run the staging cycle with Hub88 support, up to 27 tests covering game launch and wallet transactions
- 5Select content and promotions in HubConnect: studios, Freebets, tournaments, and Promotions Marketplace campaigns
- 6Repeat configuration and tests in production, go live, and settle through HubWallet

Frequently asked
The things operators actually ask before signing.
How many games and studios does Hub88 have?+
26,000+ games and 200+ content partners, per hub88.io in July 2026, and the games figure was already cited at its January 2025 awards win. The company's May 2026 press boilerplate counts more than 120 studios, the narrower direct-supply metric. Get the catalog list for your target markets during evaluation, since availability varies by jurisdiction.
What licenses does Hub88 hold?+
One number is public: Malta MGA/B2B/536/2018, held by HUB88 Limited and printed in the site footer. A UAE GCGRA vendor license followed on October 15, 2025, through a separate entity, Hub88 Holdings. The company also claims a UKGC license (May 2025), Ontario AGCO approval, and Sweden, Romania, and Greece authorizations, and the UKGC claim did not appear when we searched the public register in July 2026. Ask for license numbers per market before contracting.
Is Hub88 available in the US?+
Not for real money, since Hub88 holds no US state supplier licenses. Its US route is the sweepstakes model: social casino Legendz went live with Hub88 content in 43 states in December 2024, carrying 1,000+ titles from studios including Playson, Kalamba, and Booming Games.
What does Hub88 cost?+
No pricing is public, and that is the weakest part of the offer. Third-party roundups describe a revenue-share model discussed in consultation, with one consolidated bill replacing per-studio invoices and HubWallet handling settlement with low-cost FX and crypto payments. For context only, aggregator markup across the industry typically runs 5-15% of game GGR over studio-direct rates.
How much integration work should we budget?+
Marketing says as little as three days. The documented reality is a four-stage flow: staging configuration (wallet type, currencies, your Wallet API endpoint, whitelisted IPs, RSA public key), up to 27 staging tests run with Hub88 support, then production configuration and production tests. The docs are public at docs.hub88.io, so your engineers can scope the work before you ever talk to sales.
Does Hub88 support crypto?+
Yes. Hub88 was built inside Coingaming, the group behind Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io, so crypto is the platform's starting point: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin plus a range of altcoins, provably fair titles such as MadLab Gaming's player-seeded slots (added July 2026), and crypto B2B settlement through HubWallet. Its flagship client, Stake.com, is the largest crypto casino brand.
Can we filter Hub88 content per market, and who certifies each game?+
The game list itself answers this. Every title in the Games API carries certification tags (Curacao, MGA, Isle of Man), RTP, volatility, and blocked and restricted country lists, and each launch request passes the player's ISO country code. Restricted countries open up only where you hold a local license, so per-market filtering is data your engineers can read in the public docs, not a support ticket.
Is Hub88 live in the UAE?+
Yes, and early. Hub88 Holdings took a GCGRA gaming-related vendor license on October 15, 2025, covering supply to licensed operators across all seven Emirates. Play971, the country's first licensed iGaming site, listed Hub88 and sister brand Live88 among its suppliers at its November 2025 field-trial launch in Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, with a full rollout planned for 2026.
Who owns Hub88, and does the owner compete with its clients?+
Yolo Group, the Tallinn company formerly known as Coingaming, founded by Tim Heath. It historically ran its own crypto casinos, which is the classic aggregator conflict of interest. That conflict is being unwound: Yolo announced a grey-market exit in September 2025 and was in reported final-stage talks to sell Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io to Betsson as of February 2026, at a valuation reported below EUR 50m. Until the sale closes, the group is mid-transition, worth pricing into any long-term contract.
