CORE Gaming Ltd is a British developer of HTML5-based gambling games, operating as part of the Flutter Studios group under Flutter Entertainment. Founded in 2007 in Solihull, England, the company specialises in producing high-performance, cross-platform casino games for desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. Its proprietary HTML5 framework enables efficient multi-platform integration, allowing operators to deploy games quickly across all major systems and browsers. The portfolio includes slot machines, table games, and bespoke game conversions, all compliant with regulated markets. Licensed by the UK Gambling Commission since 2012, CORE Gaming serves online casino operators with scalable, high-quality content. With a team estimated at 51–200 employees, the company benefits from its position within the Flutter ecosystem while maintaining its own development roadmap and client relationships. Early adoption of HTML5 technology set it apart from competitors that later transitioned from Flash.
Detailed Review
History and Corporate Structure
CORE Gaming Ltd was founded in 2007 in Solihull, England, though some sources list 2014, possibly reflecting a rebranding or acquisition. The company is privately held and became part of Flutter Studios, a subsidiary of Flutter Entertainment plc, the parent of Paddy Power, Betfair, and Sky Betting & Gaming. Its headquarters remain in Solihull, where development and operations teams are based. It holds a remote gambling licence from the UK Gambling Commission (reference 40618), authorising it to provide casino games to licensed operators.
Products and Services
The core product is a proprietary HTML5 game framework offering cross-platform compatibility on desktop, iOS, Android, and all modern browsers without plugins. Operators can embed games via JavaScript API or iframe. Services include converting legacy Flash games to HTML5, preserving art and mechanics, and developing bespoke slot and table games to operator specifications. CORE Gaming operates on a B2B basis, supplying games to online casinos, white-label operators, and aggregators. Its portfolio covers classic slots, video slots, instant-win games, and table games such as blackjack and roulette. Backend tools provide reporting, player analytics, and game configuration.
Market Position and Competition
CORE Gaming competes with other B2B HTML5 casino studios like NetEnt, Play'n GO, Yggdrasil, and Microgaming. Differentiators include its early HTML5 focus (founded as a pure HTML5 developer before many rivals), integration with the Flutter ecosystem, and flexibility in converting third-party games. The company does not publicly disclose its game count or client list, but its LinkedIn page indicates a team of 51–200 and over 1,000 followers.
Recent Developments
As of early 2025, CORE Gaming Ltd appears to be an operating subsidiary of Flutter Studios with no independent public announcements. There is no evidence of recent funding rounds or standalone press releases. The company's website (core-gaming.info) is a minimal landing page stating "Part of FlutterStudios" without listing games, clients, or news. A separate US-based entity called Core Gaming, Inc. has been involved in merger activity with Siyata Mobile in 2025, but that is a different company focused on consumer mobile games, not online gambling.
