Platform
Bonus engine
The system that grants, tracks and enforces player incentives: deposit matches, fixed amounts and free spins, along with the wagering requirement, expiry, game weighting and stake limits attached to each one. It decides whether a promotion is profitable or farmed.

What it means for an operator
The offer is the easy part. The engine is what happens afterwards: whether a maximum bet applies while a bonus is active, whether a payout ceiling holds, whether game weighting is applied correctly, and whether the player can see their own progress honestly.
Scalara enforces those terms as play happens rather than reviewing them afterwards, which closes the abuse case before it becomes a dispute. Progress updates on the player's screen in real time.
