OneHazel is the integration platform that keeps your systems talking to each other. Built for iGaming, it connects operators to the game providers, payment providers, KYC services, affiliate platforms and other tools their business runs on, in minutes rather than months. Operators connect to listed vendors in one click from the OneHazel marketplace. Where a connector does not exist yet, they share a link to the vendor's API documentation and OneHazel's AI agents build it, typically in around ten minutes. Every build is validated against automated test suites before deployment, and flagged for a Human in the Loop if the agent cannot solve it. Once live, each connection is monitored continuously and repaired automatically when the vendor changes its API, so integration debt stops building up. OneHazel passes data between systems without storing it, and does not touch player data, gameplay or wallets. Operators add OneHazel to their own stack and manage connectors as they need them, freeing their engineers to build product. OneHazel is live in production, with a free tier to connect, build, test and validate integrations, and paid plans for production use. It won the Next.io Valletta Startup Pitch and the SiGMA Asia Startup Pitch in 2026, and is built by Elevate AI, a venture studio based in Malta.

The tools work together to help operators see what is happening, understand performance and decide what to do next. Teams can track clicks, registrations and first-time depositors (FTDs), then see the net gaming revenue (NGR) those players generate. This helps operators understand which affiliates bring valuable players and where performance needs attention. Ask AI lets users ask questions about their data in plain language. Player Predictions estimates future player value and the risk of players becoming inactive. Insights & Recommendations highlights unusual changes and suggests areas for the team to review. For example, an affiliate may bring many depositing players, but those players may generate little revenue or stop playing quickly. Oxtan helps teams review these results alongside traffic quality and fraud signals to better understand the partnership. Fraud checks flag suspicious activity, including potential bonus abuse and self-referrals. Managers can investigate alerts and hold payouts for review. Operators can manage CPA, revenue share (RevShare) and hybrid deals, calculate commissions and organise affiliate payouts.
