Company description

Playnance is revolutionizing the iGaming industry by bridging traditional gaming with GameFi's transparent, trustless ecosystem built on top of the Playblock chain. As a B2B platform, they empower partners to create their own branded Web3 gaming platforms, prioritizing player experience and seamless integration into the future of online gaming and trading.

The challenge

As a B2B platform serving multiple partners operating under their own domains, Playnance faced significant challenges in managing SSL certificates across their growing network:

Delays in onboarding: Setting up SSL certificates manually for each new partner domain was a laborious process, which hindered their ability to scale quickly and bring new clients on board.
Increased operational costs: Manual SSL management required substantial time and effort from the team, diverting resources from strategic, revenue-generating initiatives.
Security risks: The lack of a unified SSL solution exposed their system to potential vulnerabilities across partner domains, and manual handling left room for human error.
Reduced efficiency: Repetitive certificate work consumed valuable time, and renewals and integrations were prone to errors that required additional effort to rectify.

Despite experimenting with solutions like Cloudflare SSL and Google Cloud Tools, Playnance found these options insufficiently scalable, inflexible, and complex.

The solution

To overcome these challenges, Playnance adopted BrandSSL, leveraging its automation capabilities and API to streamline SSL certificate management.

"BrandSSL transformed how we manage SSL for our partners, ensuring consistent security and effortless scalability."
