SSG Gaming

Every spin, served from the edge

A content delivery network for casino operators, set up and run by SSG on Alibaba Cloud, Wangsu, AWS and Cloudflare. Lobbies, game assets and live-dealer streams load from servers near your players, behind DDoS and bot protection.

How it works

The shortest road to the lobby

Without a CDN, every player in Manila or São Paulo talks to one server, often on another continent. With one, the request stops at the nearest edge.

01

Nearest edge

DNS or Anycast sends the player to the closest point of presence, not to your data centre.

02

Served on the spot

Lobby images, game tiles, scripts and fonts are already cached there. Nothing travels to the origin.

03

Fetched once

On a miss, the edge collects the file from your server over a warm connection and keeps a copy for the next player.

04

Dynamic, never cached

Logins, balances and wallet calls pass through every time, on optimised routes with TLS ended at the edge.

What is included

Delivery and defence

Configured for gaming traffic: heavy game assets, live video, login floods and domains that get blocked.

Game assets and lobbies

Tiles, banners, scripts and fonts cached with per-path rules. New banners go live with an instant purge.

Live-dealer streams

Video segments spread across edges, so a baccarat table keeps its picture at peak hour on mobile networks.

DDoS protection

Floods are absorbed across the network before they reach your server, around big matches and promotions too.

Firewall and bot control

Rules against credential stuffing, bonus-abuse scripts and scraping, with rate limits on login and sign-up.

Domain resilienceFor operators

Mirror domains on one configuration and a planned switch when a domain is blocked.

Licensed markets only

Country rules at the edge show a notice in markets you do not serve, before traffic reaches the casino.

Network

Closer to every player: China, Asia, LatAm, Europe, Africa

SSG configures and runs your CDN on four networks and picks the right one for each market. Your server stays in one place and accepts traffic from the CDN only.

Alibaba Cloud

Aliyun · Mainland China and Asia

Wangsu

ChinaNetCenter · Mainland China and Asia

Amazon CloudFront

AWS · Global edge network

Cloudflare

Global edge and security

Mainland China delivery runs on Alibaba Cloud and Wangsu nodes. It needs an ICP filing for the domain and is offered only where your licence and local law allow.

Latency

Distance still wins

Pick where your players are and where your server sits. A page needs about four round trips before the first byte: DNS, TCP, TLS and the request.

Estimate from great-circle distance: light in fibre covers about 200 km per millisecond, real routes run about 1.5 times longer, and the edge is assumed in the player's metro. We measure your real figures in the audit.

Why it matters

Speed keeps players. Uptime keeps revenue.

  • A slow lobby loses the session

    Players open the casino for a few minutes at a time. Every second spent waiting for game tiles is a second not played.

  • Attacks arrive on match nights

    Traffic floods and login bots are routine for gaming sites. Filtering them at the edge keeps the cashier open at peak.

  • Search rewards fast pages

    Core Web Vitals such as LCP improve when assets load near the player, which supports the rankings your SEO builds.

Questions
Do I need to move my hosting?

No. The CDN sits in front of your current server. We change DNS records, test, and switch over with no downtime.

Will cached pages show the wrong balance?

No. Only public files are cached. Logged-in pages, balances, cashier and wallet calls go to your server every time.

Which networks do you use?

Alibaba Cloud (Aliyun), Wangsu, Amazon CloudFront (AWS) and Cloudflare. We choose by market: Alibaba Cloud and Wangsu for mainland China and much of Asia, CloudFront and Cloudflare for global reach and security.

Can you deliver in mainland China?

Yes, through Alibaba Cloud and Wangsu nodes. Mainland delivery needs an ICP filing for the domain, and we enable it only where your licence and local law allow.

Does it work with an SSG white label casino?

Yes. White label sites can go live on the CDN from day one, with domains and mirrors on the same setup.

How is it priced?

By traffic volume, markets and the protection level you need. Send your monthly bandwidth and target countries for a quote.
