At least for two of the websites listed by Twitch in the new policy, the websites themselves don’t set the odds. They don’t even make the slot games. A third party creates the games, sets the odds, and provides these websites an API for them to use.

Two of those websites, the ones I’m familiar with, use (at least some of) the same third party websites. For example, Pragmatic Play.

It’s a vastly different conspiracy to say that the websites listed on Twitch’s policy are setting odds in favor of their affiliates when it involves at least two different companies.

That’s not to say this has never happened before, though. There was previously a website called CSGO Shuffle on Twitch that was setting odds in favor of their owners and partners, but those owners and partners also didn’t disclose that they were advertising and didn’t disclose that they were involved in the company.

Not strictly true. Casino operators have access to the game provider tools. Some providers allow you to tweak RTP per game or even per player.

Yes, the Casino operator doesn't make the games, but they don't need to when the game creators expose all this configuration through their tooling and APIs.

The only difference on rtp between settings in the new rtp setting for Germany. Even this is not configurable by the operator. No casino can access any rtp settings from game play providers, I work with them every day. Especially on player level sounds absolutely impossible for any reputable provider. I am signing the contracts and implementing the bonus engines etc. It is unheard of in the regulated market.

I would be surprised if this were true, kindly list the providers which do that, I will be happy to eat my words.

NetEnt offers adjustable RTP games. Starburst for example, you can configure it in their back office.

Thank you for the correction. Do you know if this is true for the providers commonly used by the websites listed in the new Twitch policy, e.g. Stake?

I think that Stake make their own games. Or at least a company owned by the same people as Stake makes the games.

> In 2016, the pair set up Easygo which focused on developing games for online casinos and helped build Stake.com into an online casino powerhouse.

Stake started out at bitcointalk with the socalled original dice games, this then gree into a new era of games usually and still not provided by the classic game play providers. These games are now also available as a nodeJS package for sale.

However, many of their games are from the classic providers.
