EvenBet Gaming, a global card games and poker software provider, has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of its Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator, marking its formal expansion into the casino vertical.
With more than 20 years of experience in the poker industry, the move marks the next phase of growth for the company, bringing together its proven poker software and advanced casino solutions into a single framework.
At the core of this expansion is the Turnkey Casino Platform, designed to minimise launch friction and provide a structured and accessible entry into the market, supported by scalable infrastructure to facilitate long-term growth.
The ecosystem combines a ready-to-launch casino platform with EvenBet’s Game Aggregator, comprising over 15,000 titles from more than 230 providers. It also includes an advanced promotional and bonus toolkit, payment infrastructure, KYC tools, an internal revshare affiliate module and external CPA service integrations, enabling operators to launch and scale efficiently without needing extensive technical resources.
EvenBet’s strategy is designed to support a seamless product journey, accommodating both new market entrants seeking an efficient launch and established operators looking to expand their portfolio. Underpinned by a single player account and shared balance, the platform is built to drive cross-vertical engagement, enabling a natural transition between casino and poker.
Supporting this approach is its suite of purpose-built hybrid games tailored to casino players. One Click Poker removes the traditional poker lobby, eliminating a common barrier to entry, while Spins Poker blends player-versus-player gameplay with fast-paced, slot-style mechanics.
Additional casino side games and rewards within the poker lobby play a vital role in supporting the transition of poker players into casino, further optimising the two-way conversion pipeline.
With a track record of delivering first-class poker solutions to tier-one operators worldwide, the expansion positions EvenBet to unlock previously untapped revenue streams as it targets further global growth.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “The integration of our Turnkey Casino Platform and Game Aggregator into the EvenBet ecosystem represents a natural evolution of our offering.
“The modular platform has been engineered to remove the complexities typically associated with launching a casino, while also providing a clear pathway to a full-scale poker product.
“By leveraging two decades of industry experience and deep technical expertise, we are well equipped to support operators at every stage of their journey, from initial launch to global scale.”

Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI) a leading provider of casino operational intelligence software, announced the launch of QCI Metrics, a new anonymized data-sharing program that enables gaming and hospitality operators to benchmark performance using yesterday’s operating data—providing timely, actionable insights without exposing customer, financial, or personally identifiable information. This innovative solution extends beyond gaming machine ranking into host performance standardization.
Available through the Chatalytics.com portal and integrated into the QCI Platform, QCI Metrics transforms operational data—including game performance and host effectiveness—into standardized performance indexes.
While traditional benchmarking solutions rely on limited datasets or delayed reporting cycles, QCI Metrics delivers insights based on yesterday’s data—giving operators a timely, continuously updated view of how they are performing against peers across both gaming and player development.
All data shared in QCI Metrics is:
• Aggregated and normalized
• De-identified
• Abstracted at the property level using internal IDs
No transaction-level, player-level, or campaign-level data is ever shared.
“QCI Metrics gives operators the ability to see how they stack up against peers across player development and gaming in near-time, without compromising privacy. It’s a practical, secure way to unlock industry-wide insights,” said Andrew Cardno, Co-Founder and CTO of QCI.
QCI Metrics is designed to help operators quickly identify performance gaps, respond faster to trends, and adopt proven strategies in a highly competitive environment.
