Definition
A Game Wallet is an independent account sub-balance established within the platform architecture for each individual game provider. Players must transfer funds from their main wallet into the corresponding game wallet before placing bets, and can transfer the funds back to the main wallet once they finish playing.
Mechanism
-
Fund Isolation: Ensures that the funds and risk control systems of different game providers remain completely independent of one another.
-
Reconciliation Management: Makes it easier for technical teams to review and verify transaction logs and settlement statements for individual providers.
-
Lazy Loading: Certain provider APIs require the wallet to be activated or initialized before the player can enter the game.
Pros & Cons
-
Pros: Offers high security and allows the platform to freeze accounts on a per-provider basis if necessary.
-
Cons: Requires more steps/actions from the player, which can limit or disrupt the user experience.
