Casino System Integration

The Casino Integration APIs provide external access for casino operators to integrate tournament functionality into their platforms. These are the primary APIs used for tournament management, player registration, results access, and event handling.

Overview

Casino System Integration focuses on external APIs that enable casino operators to:

Create and manage tournaments
Register and manage players
Access real-time leaderboards and results
Receive webhook notifications for tournament events
Handle player transactions (buy-ins, rebuys, refunds)

Integration Pattern: Casino System ↔ Tournament System via external APIs with operator authentication and role-based permissions.

API Categories

Authentication & Security

API key management, role-based permissions, and security best practices.

Tournament Management

Create, update, cancel, and monitor tournaments across your platform.

Player Management

Results & Leaderboards

Access real-time rankings, final results, prize distributions, and historical data.

Authentication Model

All Casino Integration APIs use operator API keys with role-based permissions:

GET /api/tournaments
Authorization: Bearer {your-operator-api-key}

Permission Structure

tournaments.read - View tournaments and status
tournaments.write - Create and update tournaments
tournaments.delete - Cancel tournaments
players.read - View player data and registrations
players.write - Register and manage players
results.read - Access results and leaderboard data

Common Integration Patterns

1. Tournament Lifecycle Management

Create Tournament

Casino System creates tournament via POST /api/tournaments

Player Registration

Players register through POST /api/tournaments/{id}/players

Tournament Monitoring

Monitor status via GET /api/tournaments/{id}/status

Results Access

Retrieve results via GET /api/tournaments/{id}/results

2. Real-time Event Handling

Webhook Events
SQS Events

HTTP Webhooks for real-time notifications:

Tournament started/completed events
Player registration/elimination notifications
Results and prize distribution updates
System status changes and alerts

API Endpoints Overview

Tournament Management

POST /api/tournaments                    # Create tournament
GET /api/tournaments                     # List tournaments  
GET /api/tournaments/{id}                # Get tournament details
PUT /api/tournaments/{id}                # Update tournament
DELETE /api/tournaments/{id}             # Cancel tournament
GET /api/tournaments/{id}/status         # Get tournament status

Player Management

POST /api/tournaments/{id}/players       # Register player
GET /api/tournaments/{id}/players        # List tournament players
DELETE /api/tournaments/{id}/players/{player}  # Remove player
POST /api/tournaments/{id}/players/{player}/rebuy  # Process rebuy

Results & Leaderboards

GET /api/tournaments/{id}/leaderboard    # Real-time rankings
GET /api/tournaments/{id}/results        # Final results
GET /api/tournaments/{id}/prize-pool     # Prize pool calculation
GET /api/tournaments/{id}/events         # Tournament event history

Data Flow Architecture

Communication Patterns

Casino → Tournament: External APIs with operator authentication
Tournament → Casino: SQS events and HTTP webhooks
UI Integration: postMessage events between game and casino interfaces
Real-time Updates: WebSocket connections for live leaderboards

Error Handling & Best Practices

HTTP Status Codes

200 OK - Successful operation
201 Created - Resource created successfully
400 Bad Request - Invalid request parameters
401 Unauthorized - Invalid or missing API key
403 Forbidden - Insufficient permissions
404 Not Found - Tournament or resource not found
409 Conflict - Resource conflict (duplicate registration)
429 Too Many Requests - Rate limit exceeded
500 Internal Server Error - Server error

Rate Limiting

Standard Operations: 100 requests per minute per API key
Tournament Creation: 10 requests per minute per API key
Player Registration: 200 requests per minute per API key
Results Access: 500 requests per minute per API key

Retry Logic

Implement exponential backoff for failed requests with maximum retry limits to prevent overwhelming the system.

const retryDelay = Math.min(1000 * Math.pow(2, retryCount), 30000);
setTimeout(() => retryRequest(), retryDelay);

Integration Examples

Basic Tournament Creation

const response = await fetch('/api/tournaments', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-api-key',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    name: 'Daily Championship',
    startTime: '2024-01-15T20:00:00Z',
    gameSlug: 'crash-classic', 
    maxPlayers: 100,
    entryFee: 10.00
  })
});

const tournament = await response.json();
console.log(`Tournament created: ${tournament.tournamentId}`);

Player Registration

const registration = await fetch(`/api/tournaments/${tournamentId}/players`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer your-api-key',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    userId: 'player_123',
    displayName: 'PlayerName',
    buyInAmount: 10.00
  })
});

const result = await registration.json();
// Player receives JWT token and game URL for tournament access

Multi-Tenant Architecture

All APIs are scoped to your operator account. You can only access tournaments and players within your operator tenant.

Operator Isolation

Data Scoping: All data automatically filtered by operator ID
API Key Scoping: Keys only access data within operator boundaries
Resource Isolation: No cross-operator data access or interference
Independent Configuration: Webhook URLs, settings, and preferences per operator
