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. Each new partner required time-intensive SSL setup processes, which hindered their ability to scale quickly and bring new clients on board seamlessly.
- Increased Operational Costs: The manual processes in managing the SSL certificates required substantial time and effort from the Playnance team, diverting resources from strategic, revenue-generating initiatives. This resulted in higher overall operational expenses and limited the team's capacity to focus on innovation.
- Security Risks: The lack of a unified SSL solution exposed their system to potential security vulnerabilities across partner domains. These inconsistencies increased the risk of data breaches. Additionally, manual SSL handling left room for human error, further exacerbating security concerns.
- Reduced Efficiency: The repetitive nature of managing SSL certificates for multiple domains not only consumed valuable time but also detracted from team productivity. Tasks such as SSL renewals and integrations were prone to errors, which required additional effort to rectify, creating a cycle of inefficiency.
Despite experimenting with solutions like Cloudflare SSL and Google Cloud Tools, Playnance found these options insufficiently scalable, inflexible, and complex.

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