A live dealer platform for operators who run their own tables
elite is the live game platform by EWIN GAMING. You keep your tables and your dealers; elite supplies the rest of the live dealer software — the game system, low-latency streaming, the API and the back office — and charges a fee per table plus streaming by the GB. There is no revenue share, and everything from sign-up to going live is self-service.
Who elite is for
- Land-based casinos, card rooms and VIP rooms that already have tables and dealers and want to offer them to online players. Texas Hold'em tables can even seat on-site guests and online players at the same table.
- Live studios that want to run tables under their own brand without building a game system or a streaming network.
- Platform providers and white-label operators that want to add live tables for their clients through one API.
elite is a technology provider, not an operator. The tables, the dealers and the players are yours; elite runs the game system and delivers the video.
How it works
Camera → streaming PC or encoder ──WHIP (desktop and mobile feeds)──→ elite ──WebRTC──→ players
Dealer tablet (+ card-reading shoe) ──rounds, cards, results──────→ elite ──→ bets, settlement, reports- Create your tables in the elite Console — baccarat, dragon tiger, Texas Hold'em or Niu Niu — and choose a result source for each one.
- Deal as usual. The dealer tablet sends each round's opening, cards and result, and elite checks the result against the cards before settling. Depending on the game, results can instead come from EWIN AI VISION card recognition, RoadMapServer or your own results system over the GFI interface.
- Stream. Your studio pushes a desktop feed and a mobile feed over WHIP from OBS Studio or a WHIP-capable encoder; elite delivers them to players over low-latency WebRTC.
- Open to players through the API or a branded login site.
Video and results travel separately: the platform never reads cards from your video. The full setup is in Run your own live tables.
What's included
Everything you would otherwise build in-house to run live dealer games online:
| Area | Included |
|---|---|
| Game system | Lobby and game screens for desktop and mobile, betting and bet limits, result checks against the cards, settlement and bet records |
| Dealer tablet | A web app installed from the Console and paired by QR code; reads cards from a card-reading shoe or takes manual entry; voids and corrections need a supervisor PIN |
| Streaming | WHIP ingest with two feeds per table, low-latency WebRTC playback and usage metering — no CDN of your own |
| Integration | HMAC-signed tenant API for game launch, the transfer wallet, bet sync and webhooks; a sandbox; OpenAPI and Postman downloads; signing samples in six languages |
| Back office | Live dashboard, daily reports and player retention; bet-limit profiles per currency; opposite-betting detection, IP allowlists and automatic handling of abnormal rounds; two-factor sign-in and an audit trail |
| Brand and languages | Your logo in the lobby, at the table and on loading screens; player screens in 9 languages and the Console in 7; 10 player currencies |
| Infrastructure | Runs on Cloudflare's global network — no servers to provision — with a public status page |
Games
| Game | Formats | Result sources |
|---|---|---|
| Baccarat | Classic, no-commission (with Super 6), competitive squeeze | Dealer tablet, EWIN AI VISION, RoadMapServer, API push (GFI) |
| Dragon tiger | Optional big/small and odd/even bets | Dealer tablet, EWIN AI VISION, API push (GFI) |
| Texas Hold'em | Player vs dealer, player vs player | Dealer tablet |
| Niu Niu | Even-money and multiplier bets | Dealer tablet, API push (GFI) |
All games share one lobby, wallet, API and Console, and the table fee is the same for every game. New live games arrive on the same API, so a finished integration never needs redoing. More in live baccarat and live dragon tiger, Texas Hold'em and Niu Niu.
Two ways to go to market: API or white-label login site
Integrate through the API
For operators and platforms with their own site and player accounts. Your back end calls player/launch for a one-time URL and sends the player in by redirect or iframe. Balances move through the transfer wallet, idempotent on your own transfer ID; bet records sync by cursor, and on the Production plan bets and settlements also arrive by webhook. Requests are signed with HMAC-SHA256, and a sandbox with test coins lets you integrate before going live. See Live casino API integration and the Quick start.
Open a branded login site
For venues without developers. Point a domain you own at elite with a CNAME, choose one of four login-site templates and add your logo. You create player accounts in the Console, and players sign in on your site.
Pricing: live casino software with no revenue share
- Two fees on the Production plan: a flat monthly fee for each table offered to players, counted by the day, plus streaming per GB of video your players actually watch. One price for every game.
- Prepaid and charged daily from USD credit you can top up with USDT. Every charge is itemized in the Console, and you are emailed before credit runs low.
- No revenue share, no setup fee, no minimum and no contract. Downgrade yourself at any time.
- Viewing is billed, pushing is not: video you push to elite is not billed, and nothing is billed while nobody is watching.
Current prices, including any promotional table price, and a streaming cost estimate are in the pricing section of the official site. To estimate streaming volume yourself, see how to estimate streaming cost; billing rules are in Billing.
How to start
elite is a self-service live casino platform: there is no sales call and no manual review.
- Sign up at elite.ewin888.com/signup with your company name, company code and email. Your account is created at once, the Console password is emailed to you, and a sandbox tenant with API keys comes with it.
- Try it on the free Demo plan. Create a table, pair a dealer tablet, push your video, rehearse rounds and test your integration in the sandbox. Demo is for evaluation: tables, players and video are capped, and games show a demo watermark.
- Upgrade when you are ready. Top up prepaid credit, switch to the Production plan in the Console and open your tables to players.
FAQ
Does elite supply dealers or run tables?
No. elite is a technology provider, not an operator: the tables, dealers and studio are yours, and elite supplies the software and streaming.
Is there a revenue share?
No. You pay a monthly fee per active table plus streaming per GB, deducted daily from prepaid credit, however much your players bet. There is no setup fee and no minimum.
What equipment do I need?
A camera, a WHIP-capable streaming PC or encoder (such as OBS Studio 30 or later) and a tablet for the dealer app; a card-reading shoe is optional. Full checklist: live casino studio setup.
Which wallet model does the API use?
A transfer wallet: your system moves money in and out of each player's game wallet on elite through the API, and bets and payouts happen inside that wallet. Transfers are single-step and idempotent. See Wallet (transfer).
Can I run it as a white-label live casino?
Yes. Your logo replaces the default branding in the lobby, at the table and on loading screens, and players can sign in on a login site on your own domain — or enter the games from your own site through the API.
Do I need developers?
Not necessarily. With developers, integrate the API. Without them, create player accounts in the Console and let players sign in on your branded login site, or on the public login page with your company code.
