First establish permission. Then score the content and delivery plan out of 100. Do not let catalogue size, technical performance or a low subscription price compensate for missing authorisation.
This scorecard evaluates commercial access to playable, non-wagering slot content for independent websites. It covers direct studio arrangements, hosted demo services, aggregation proposals and hybrid sourcing plans. It does not evaluate real-money casino platforms, paid virtual-currency products or prize-bearing promotions.
The distinction between access and permission is concrete. Pragmatic Play’s public website terms grant access for personal, non-commercial entertainment and restrict other uses without written consent. Those public terms are not a publisher’s commercial distribution agreement. (pragmaticplay.com)
The decision in one page
- Pass the mandatory gates: authorised use, territorial scope, product classification and unresolved legal/privacy blockers.
- Score eight weighted criteria: catalogue usefulness, launch reliability, integration, metadata, privacy controls, support, total cost and exit readiness.
- Show evidence completeness separately: an unknown is not an observed failure, but neither earns a point.
- Approve only the assessed scope: named domains, selected titles, audience, configuration and integration version.
- Reopen the decision when that scope changes.
Methodology: the weights, thresholds, scoring rules and examples below are proposed procurement controls, not measured industry benchmarks. This is public-source research, not a completed supplier audit. No private licences, account-specific catalogues, supplier quotations or live-game test results were obtained. Named suppliers illustrate questions to investigate; they are not ranked or endorsed.
