1. A method of operating a gaming system, said method comprising:

  • detecting, via a network communication interface, an electronic request to transmit wagering game data from a first server that hosts first content to a second server that hosts second content, wherein the second server is configured to receive monetary value for placement on wagers of one or more wagering games, determine wagering game outcomes for the one or more wagering games, and initiate electronic payments for one or more of the wagering game outcomes;

    evaluating, via an electronic processing unit of the gaming system, the electronic request against import rules that regulate import of the wagering game data into the second server;

    determining, by the electronic processing unit, that the electronic request is valid based on the evaluating the electronic request against the import rules;

    forwarding, via the network communication interface, the electronic request to a data liaison device that is separate from both the first server and the second server after determining that the electronic request is valid, wherein the data liaison device is a liaison for transferring the wagering game data between the first server and the data liaison device based, at least in part, on the validated request and based on a first security protocol used for third-parties that are not authorized to directly access the second server;

    receiving, via the network communication interface, the wagering game data from the data liaison device after forwarding the electronic request to the data liaison device;

    applying, via the electronic processing unit, the import rules to the wagering game data received from the data liaison device;

    generating, via the electronic processing unit, a rules compliant data transmission from said applying the import rules, wherein the generating the rules compliant data transmission comprises modifying at least a portion of the wagering game data based at least in part on a second security protocol associated with the import rules for the transfer of the wagering game data between the data liaison device and the second server, wherein the second security protocol is different from the first security protocol; and

    transmitting, via the network communication interface, the rules compliant data transmission to the second server.
