Free Tier

A free slot API for developers who want to build before they commit

Cymba gives developers a free API key, full dashboard access, and a working slot game config from day one. Build, test, and validate your integration before you need a paid plan.

No credit card required

Sign up, mint an API key, and start calling the play endpoint immediately. The free tier is not a time-limited trial.

Full toolchain included

The free tier includes the config editor, RTP calculator, PAR sheet exports, playground, and provably fair fields on every spin.

Real API, not a sandbox stub

Free-tier keys resolve spins against the same engine as every paid tier. The only difference is quotas and rate limits.

What the free tier includes

Cymba's free tier is a full development environment, not a stripped-down preview.

When you create a free account you get an API key, access to the dashboard, the config editor, the playground spin tester, RTP calculation, PAR sheet exports, and provably fair material on every spin response. You can build and test a complete integration before paying anything.

The free tier is rate-limited and intended for development rather than live player traffic. It does not expire after a trial period.

Why a free tier matters for slot API development

Building a slot game integration has a lot of moving parts: config design, API calls, result parsing, front-end rendering, feature event handling, and provably fair flows.

A free tier that gives you the full API surface means you can work through all of those pieces without billing pressure. By the time you need a production key, the integration is already built and tested.

The real API from day one

Free-tier API keys call the same spin engine as every paid tier. Spin results include real reel positions, win evaluations, feature events, and provably fair fields. The response shape never changes as your plan grows.

That means your integration code does not need to change at production time — the same cy_live_ key and config IDs carry over; upgrading a plan only raises your quotas.

Getting started in under ten minutes

The fastest path:

  1. Create a free account and mint your API key.
  2. Open the dashboard and clone a starter template config.
  3. Run a spin in the playground to see a live result.
  4. Call /api/v1/play from your own app with the config ID.
  5. Parse the total_multiplier and apply it to your player's stake.

From there you can edit the config, recalculate RTP, export a PAR sheet, and test edge cases in the playground.

What the free tier does not include

The free tier is rate-limited and not suitable for production player traffic. For live deployments with real volume, paid plans raise the quotas and rate limits on the same keys — join the waitlist from the pricing page.

Cymba does not handle wallets, balances, player accounts, licensing, or compliance on any tier. Those are platform responsibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the free tier a time-limited trial?

No. The free tier is ongoing. Rate limits apply, but the tier does not expire after a fixed number of days.

What rate limits apply on the free tier?

Free tier keys are intended for development and testing. Production deployments with higher volume need a paid plan.

Can I export PAR sheets on the free tier?

Yes. Config editing, RTP calculation, PAR sheet exports, and provably fair fields are all available on the free tier.

How do I move to production?

Paid tiers are currently waitlisted while billing, legal, and audit workflows harden — join the waitlist from the pricing page. Your key, config IDs, and integration stay exactly the same when your plan changes; only the quotas move.
