French mobile game developer and publisher TapNation has reached over a billion downloads across its entire games portfolio.

TapNation’s games portfolio includes Ice Cream Inc — which has been downloaded over 230 million times — Thief Puzzle and Giant Rush.

“One billion downloads is hard to comprehend, especially when we think about the path that led us there! This success was made possible thanks to all the work of our team, but also the tools and processes we developed in-house to empower our employees,” says Hervé Montoute, CEO and co-founder at TapNation.

“We were convinced from day one that gaming will be a strong player in the AI space, so we also included prediction and Machine Learning pipelines whenever we could. We are incredibly grateful for the support of our players and look forward to continuing to deliver exceptional gaming experiences.”

2023 has been a landmark year for TapNation. It was recognized as a finalist for Best Developer at the 2023 PGC Awards and also featured in the prestigious French Tech 120. At the core of all this however, is the firm’s expert creative team.

“TapNation is first of all, a pool of talented and passionate people. We have a strong company culture, where our employees strive and grow within the gaming space,” comments Igor Zabukovec, co-founder and CTO at TapNation.

“We also are deeply rooted in tech and AI, with engineers coming from different backgrounds. We are a truly international team with more than 13 nationalities represented — our market is global, so is our team!”

In line with its tech-driven ethos, TapNation is seamlessly integrating the latest AI advancements into its pipelines, including ChatGPT and real-time user segmentation. The firm’s agile development approach allows them to prototype quickly, ensuring its games stay ahead of the curve.

“We are like a lab, where we need to create and prototype things quickly — not in months but in weeks,” continues Zabukovec. “Our tech team is built following this principle. This includes the data scientists, but also our Unity developers, backend and SDK — everyone!”

Looking ahead, TapNation has ambitious initiatives for 2023 and beyond. It remains committed to player-centric game development: prioritising the needs and preferences of its loyal fanbase.

With a steadfast focus on technological advancements, TapNation aims to continue expanding its tech stack and developing cutting-edge tools to reach its next milestone of 5 billion downloads.

Additional places will also be made available via open registration.
The best prizes are reserved for the event in Rome, which include an Omega Speedmaster or IWC watch for Advanced first-place winners, Apple Watch Ultra Pro Prizes for Beginners champions, and professional padel kits plus tickets to a Padel World Tour event for second-place finishers in both categories.

Elantil integrates 155.io into online marketplace

Just when operators were starting to think the range of content offered by Elantil couldn’t possibly get any more diverse, the pioneering platform solutions provider has pulled off one of the great early rug pulls of 2026 by integrating 155.io into its online marketplace.

Proudly supplying “betting on chaos” since 2024, 155.io is a disruptive live game company that’s already made big waves in the industry due to its incredibly unique line-up. Designed to offer real-time madness for a mobile-first world, 155.io takes creative concepts and broadcasts them from its studio to operators around the world, creating an all-new kind of immersive betting experience.

Games offered by the supplier include Rush Hour, where players bet on how much traffic will cross a zone based on real CCTV footage, Duck Racing, where eight fearless rubber duckies race down a lazy river obstacle course with players betting on the winner, and Marble Plinko, which will definitely be a familiar concept to anyone who took part in Elantil’s Marble Races at ICE this year!

Now that 155.io’s full line-up of quirky live games has been added to Elantil’s Marketplace, operators will be able to reach out to the supplier’s business development and sales partner, RPM Gaming, directly to form their own custom agreements, with Elantil handling everything else.

By doing things this way, customers have full flexibility over the length and terms of their deal, enabling them to hand-pick the best games for their target audience while also cutting out the middleman and saving on costs – both of which are hallmarks of the Elantil approach to business.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “As something of a disruptive presence in the industry ourselves, it goes without saying that Elantil is naturally drawn to fellow innovators in the iGaming space. 155.io certainly fits that description, and by adding their distinctive range of live games to our online marketplace, we’ll be able to offer our partners a totally unique line-up of content that will help them create greater engagement and retention with mobile-first players.”

Sam Jones, Chief Executive Officer at 155.io, said: “155.io and Elantil are both companies that have made names for themselves by doing things differently, so we’re really happy to be sharing our chaotic brand of mobile-first content with a platform provider that genuinely appreciates the importance of going against the status quo. Now that our full line-up of games is integrated into their marketplace, I’m looking forward to seeing what our real-time madness can do for Elantil operators!”
