Evoplay Entertainment Announces Rebranding
Evoplay Entertainment has announced a rebrand to its visual identity and mission that reflects a deep dedication to supporting partners and delivering “mainstream appeal” to the iGaming industry.
Coinciding with the unveiling of the new brand, Evoplay Entertainment launched its updated website (www.evoplay.games), now focused on gaming and online casino solutions that build a better way for operators to grow.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO of Evoplay, said: “In just three years we’ve built incredible success. Now we reach the point where our vision for the next 10 years takes shape. We drop the word ‘entertainment’ from our name because Evoplay no longer needs it – our work is now synonymous with entertainment.
“Visually, we’ve refreshed our look and created a new logo, typography and a mascot – these tie together our campaigns, showcase our dynamic approach, and streamline how we communicate. How we use this will be wide-ranging and advanced beyond what you usually see in our industry.
“But behind the cosmetic and visual changes, we’ve made deep shifts to our brand mission, our brand promise, and the brand values that will dominate our work going forward.”
In addition to continuing to produce popular instant, table and video slot games, Evoplay will apply its award-winning approach to an area it believes is central to the future of the industry: bringing new audiences to online casinos.
Vladimir Malakchi, Chief Business Officer at Evoplay, said: “This rebrand solidifies our stance as an industry leader offering next-generation gaming, cross-industry marketing innovations, and unparalleled partner service.
“Evoplay’s vision of an iGaming world that has mainstream appeal has now been baked into our work at every level. From the games we develop to the advertising that promotes them; from the communications we craft to the way we help our partners with marketing and support their success at every step of the business journey.
“We are confident that Evoplay will not only be the game developer of choice for online casinos, but will also help raise the profile of the industry itself and attract new audiences. We’ve always had bold ambitions – what excites us now is that we’ve developed a 10-year business plan fully built around those ambitions.”

New KSA Campaign: Get Your Life Back on Track, Take a Gambling Break
The Dutch Gaming Authority (KSA) launched a new awareness campaign to draw attention to the gambling stop. With the campaign “Pick up your life again, take a gambling stop,” KSA is aiming to increase attention to the risks of gambling and make the Cruks register more well-known.
Insights
The campaign is a follow-up to the pilot campaign from 2023. This pilot yielded many valuable insights, for example that more people are attracted to the word gambling stop. This name is therefore used in the new campaign.
Positive effect
The campaign focuses primarily on young adults who (possibly) no longer have their gambling under control. That is one of the reasons why the campaign is largely running via social media instead of traditional (mass) media. The focus is on the positive effect that a gambling stop has on the life of a person with gambling problems. The powerful moments of young people who pick up their lives again can be seen in online videos, social ads and social posts (Google, YouTube, Meta and Snapchat).

EGBA: Record Participation As European Safer Gambling Week Expands to 26 Countries
The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) announced record-breaking results from its fourth annual European Safer Gambling Week, held 18-24 November. The initiative – which included a social media campaign and events programme – demonstrated the broader European sector’s strengthening commitment to safer gambling through new levels of participation and expanded geographic reach.
The campaign saw record engagement with 195 partners actively participating – a 20% increase from 2023. Eight national gambling authorities participated, more than double the previous year, by either joining the social media campaign or speaking at the various events.
The campaign’s reach also expanded significantly to 26 countries – a 30% increase from 2023 – with partners in Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine joining for the first time, reflecting the growing pan-European dimension of the campaign. This was helped by social media graphics being made available in the local languages of 27 countries.
The social media campaign reached 3.1 million users across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and X platforms, generating 1169 social media posts – a 67% increase from the previous year.
A cornerstone of this year’s campaign was its comprehensive events programme, featuring 20 specialised events – an 11% increase from 2023. The events attracted record participation with 4500 registrations and 3000 attendees. Key discussions explored trends in AI, problem gambling prevalence reporting and innovations in safer gambling tools and messaging. The events featured 105 speakers, including senior representatives from gambling authorities in Belgium, Denmark, France and the UK.
The initiative builds on EGBA members’ year-round commitment to safer gambling, which in 2023 resulted in 67 million safety messages sent to their European customers. This dedicated week amplifies these ongoing efforts while encouraging greater collaboration between operators, regulators and harm prevention organisations.
“The success of this year’s edition reflects the sector’s deepening commitment to player protection. The significant increase in participation, especially from health organisations and regulatory authorities, demonstrates the common purpose and growing unity in our approach to safer gambling. Through this collaboration, we’ve reached a record number of Europeans with crucial safety messages during the campaign. Together, we’re making gambling safer and we already look forward to building on this success in next year’s edition,” said Maarten Haijer, Secretary General of EGBA.
