Christos Zoulianitis was recently installed as the Chief Commercial Officer of ENJOY, the industry’s newest kid on the block, which is already building a reputation for developing deeply memorable iGaming experiences that resonate with operators and players alike.

We caught up with the former Playson exec to find out how Enjoy aims to differentiate itself with its Slots and Live Game Shows portfolio, and why its experienced and diverse team is well positioned to make a major impact in the global iGaming industry.

 

Christos, what excites you most about joining Enjoy?

The most exciting part of joining ENJOY was the opportunity to build again something new — from the ground up — by combining the team’s extensive and diverse expertise with my own. Together, we have the power to shape fresh formats, blending the best of slot and live game development. It’s incredibly inspiring to be part of this journey and create a proposition even greater than what you’ve done before.

From a top-management perspective, it’s also thrilling to witness the team’s rapid evolution. We move fast, we grow daily — and we thrive on momentum. Every milestone we hit is not just a testament to our pace, but to our purpose. I can say that we are a very strong team that shares the same ambition of building exceptional experiences, and I believe that is the most important factor of our future growth.

 

Talk us through Enjoy content offering, what sets it apart from existing competition within the market?

At Enjoy, we’re focused on one factor above all: quality. Our core principle is simple — quality comes first. We create timeless slot games, but at the same time we are introducing a new experience of live game shows.

We have the market’s knowledge of what players like to play within a game and keep coming back. As I usually say, we focus on the post-entertainment factor, which is the feeling you receive after a game session ends. Because that feeling translates into long-term player loyalty in our games. What truly sets us apart is our team mindset and experience — we know exactly what works and how to do it right.

 

The live dealer space is a very competitive space – how has the company ensured its live game shows are appealing to operators and players?

The reason for starting to develop Live Game Shows is to redefine what live game entertainment can be through the creation of unique, next-gen Live Game Shows. Our Live titles merge the excitement of real-time interaction with the dynamic mechanics mix of slots, roulette, and wheel-based games, offering a hybrid experience that appeals to both traditional and modern players. Stepping into our studio feels like entering an entirely different universe. From the moment you walk onto the set, you’re transported into a world that rivals top-tier TV productions.

Our mission is to make players feel truly inside the game. A good example is the unique zoom-in effect we have implemented into our latest blockbuster Enchanted Forest, which makes the player feel like they are walking inside the forest of this magic studio.  So, whether you’re spinning the vibrant Wonder Wheel, diving into the mystical vibes of Enchanted Forest, or experiencing the luxury of x320 Roulette, each of our game shows offers a unique gameplay that grips the player.

This level of immersion doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of meticulous work and passion poured into every single production.

 

What can players expect from the Slots that you’re developing?

We’re bringing together the charm of classic mechanics with the polish of modern execution, delivering gameplay that is both instantly familiar and deeply memorable. Our best-performing titles Hot Fire Coins 2, Fire Express, and 3 Mariachi showcase the brilliance of our team to maximise the quality of the Hold and Win format – visually pleasing with plenty of features to experience.

Early performance data illustrates that these games have not only captured the attention of players across numerous international markets but also set a new standard within iGaming. Our commitment to delivering engaging and memorable gaming experiences has already helped us to gain the trust amongst operators and players alike.

 

Finally, can you provide us with further details on how you intend to shape ENJOY’S commercial growth?

Focusing on high-potential regulated markets is a top priority for us. Countries that we believe will provide ENJOY with the greatest opportunity to make an instant impact include Italy, Greece, Portugal and Brazil, while we’ll also be keeping a very close eye on other regions that embrace iGaming legislation.

Despite our journey being in its infancy, we’ve already secured important distribution deals with respected industry leaders such as Reevo, Digitain, Softswiss, and Slotegrator. For me, this speaks volumes about the supreme quality of our offering, with key industry players identifying the value of our dynamic roadmap. That really excites me and provides the belief that we can take the ENJOY experience to a vast global audience.

Above all else, we have an unwavering commitment to innovation, quality, and long-term relevance on the iGaming global stage. I have no doubt you’ll be hearing a lot more about ENJOY over the coming months!

DuelBits says UFC creator campaign delivers 122m verified video views

duelbits-says-ufc-creator-campaign-delivers-122m-verified-video-views

DuelBits has published results from its JUSTIN2026 marketing campaign, saying the UFC-focused activation generated more than 122 million verified video views and contributed to one of the company’s strongest MMA betting events “in recent years.”

The crypto sportsbook and casino operator said the campaign launched ahead of UFC event Freedom 250 at the White House and centred on former UFC lightweight champion Justin Gaethje. DuelBits framed the partnership as an early bet on Gaethje, before broader commercial interest.

According to the company, the campaign set a KPI to exceed 100 million impressions across owned, paid and partnered media, and ultimately delivered more than 122 million verified clip views via a network of more than 140 creators. The asset mix included a hero film, six short-form cutdowns, behind-the-scenes content and still imagery, distributed via DuelBits’ social channels, MMA publishers, creator partnerships and clipping pages.

DuelBits said the hero content was also integrated into Gaethje’s “Art of Violence” YouTube series. The operator added that the activation drove promotional code engagement and helped convert attention into sportsbook activity.

Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits, said: “We wanted to support Justin before everyone else recognised the opportunity. Instead of following the hype once he has already achieved greatness, we wanted to back a champion before anybody else did.

“The campaign wasn’t measured purely on views. Of course, surpassing 122 million verified views and exceeding our 100 million KPI was a huge achievement, but the real success was seeing that attention convert into one of our strongest UFC betting nights in recent years.

“It also reinforced something that’s key to DuelBits as a brand, which is that we don’t do small campaigns. Whether it’s the production quality, creator network, or distribution strategy, we want every activation to show what’s possible when sportsbook marketing is treated like premium entertainment.”

Slotegrator now provides native app experience for iGaming platforms with PWA function

slotegrator-now-provides-native-app-experience-for-igaming-platforms-with-pwa-function

Slotegrator’s platform solution now offers progressive web app (PWA) functionality, enabling operators to provide installable casino apps with push notifications, flexible branding, and seamless access across changing domains. 

The Casino Builder module in Slotegator’s platform solution has been upgraded with a Progressive Web Application (PWA) feature that allows casinos to deliver an app-like experience without relying on the App Store or Google Play. 

Native apps are powerful tools for building customer loyalty and enhancing engagement. However, iGaming brands face serious obstacles, such as strict marketplace policies, long review processes, geographic restrictions, and the constant threat of app removal. Slotegrator’s PWA functionality eliminates these barriers, allowing players to install a casino app directly from their browser and enjoy many of the same benefits as a native app.

After installation, the PWA opens from the user’s home screen, loads fast, and supports push notification integration that enhances player engagement and retention.

“Mobile is still the leading channel for user acquisition and retention; however, it’s difficult to distribute native apps in iGaming,” says Olga Ivanchik, COO at Slotegrator. “Our new PWA feature gives operators an alternative that will be familiar to their players, while eliminating the complications related to conventional app stores. Operators can launch quickly, retain full control over updates, and ensure a perfect mobile gaming experience for any market.”

Within the next 2 months, operators will also have the ability to determine when the PWA install bar will be visible to the player. For example, displaying the install bar immediately after the first deposit, as part of a broader retention strategy, helps drive long-term player LTV. The operator can also set up frequency of the install offer — daily, weekly, just once, etc. 

Some operators have to consider UX for multiple frontends. Luckily, the installation widgets are highly flexible, helping them drive maximum conversion without sacrificing user experience. Operators can select a top bar or a top banner installation widget, both of which are fully customizable with branded icons, messaging, and backgrounds.

Operators can limit the visibility of their installation campaigns to specific devices — desktop, mobile, Android, or iOS — thanks to special targeting options. Operators can also design acquisition strategies specific to each platform, driving installs only where they offer the best user experience.

When players install the PWA, operators can connect it to push notification services, so they can re-engage them even when the application isn’t actively open. 

Mirror domain compatibility addresses a common operational challenge in restricted markets. If an operator has to change domains due to licensing or regulatory requirements, players who have already installed the PWA will be able to continue using it without reinstallation.

Unlike native applications, PWAs don’t require App Store or Google Play approval, effectively eliminating possible delays and the risk of removal from the market. Instead, operators can deploy updates instantly to every user.

The new PWA functionality is now available in Slotegrator’s Casino Builder module, alongside other tools for improving mobile acquisition, engagement, and player retention.

Since 2012, Slotegrator has been one of the iGaming industry’s leading software and business solution providers for online casino and sportsbook operators.

The company’s main focus is software development and support for online casino platforms, as well as the integration of game content and payment systems.
