Platform migration has emerged as a critical strategy for operators looking to scale their operations, enter new markets, or address technical shortcomings. In an interview with European Gaming, Vitali Matsukevich, Chief Operational Officer at SOFTSWISS, delves into the intricacies of the migration process, the challenges operators face, and how SOFTSWISS has positioned itself as a leader in ensuring seamless transitions.

 

What drives operators to consider migrating from one platform to another? Could you explain the key issues they aim to resolve and why migration becomes necessary?

Vitali Matsukevich: The most popular reason is that the current platform no longer meets technical requirements, especially in terms of scalability and reliability. Operators often face issues like handling user loads they are currently experiencing or planning for. This often forces operators to seek a more stable and technically advanced solution to support their business growth. For example, in LatAm, we know of cases where operators face significant challenges due to downtime or unreliable operations. In some cases, this situation becomes unmanageable, and operators realise they need to migrate to a platform like ours, which offers 99.9% uptime and a seamless user experience.

Another reason for migration is the desire to expand to new geographies. For instance, if the current platform is not certified in a particular country, the operator may consider migrating to a platform that already has the necessary certification. While launching a new project on a different platform is an option, it can lead to operational challenges, such as managing two different projects on different platforms, which is not always convenient. In such cases, if the new market is attractive enough, it may be simpler to migrate to a platform that is already certified, obtain the necessary licence, and continue developing the project.

The third reason is dissatisfaction with the current software provider. This could be due to poor communication with business account managers, slow response times, lack of support, or the provider’s failure to implement client feedback. In the case of SOFTSWISS, we not only offer better service – as confirmed by various studies – but prioritise collaborative partnerships. Our partners highly appreciate our flexibility, openness to their suggestions, and commitment to developing the business together.

Moreover, operators who choose platforms used by major industry players benefit from being part of a community and gain access to features requested by those larger brands. For example, when large operators asked for specific product updates, we later rolled them out to all clients, which received positive feedback. We also have a well-structured workflow for managing client requests, where we gather all ideas, suggestions, and comments from our partners, and our product team evaluates which of them will have the most impact.

 

What specific technical and operational advantages does the SOFTSWISS platform offer to operators who decide to migrate?

Vitali Matsukevich: I would highlight two key advantages: the high technical performance of our platform and the well-established interaction with our partners. Because our partners don’t experience technical difficulties, they can scale their projects without worrying about the technical aspects of their business. Our recent migration case, where we transitioned over a million players to our casino platform and sportsbook within five hours, further confirmed the high technical level of our solution and well-defined migration process. 

A unique feature of migration is that after reopening a project post-update, there’s often a surge in user activity, with more people visiting the platform than usual. This contrasts with the gradual user growth seen when launching a new project, where users join the platform over time.

After migration, a large number of users might access the platform simultaneously. To prepare for this, we conducted numerous stress tests before the launch and executed the migration flawlessly. The number of issue reports was even lower than we expected.

 

What are the main challenges operators may face during migration, and how does SOFTSWISS help minimise these risks?

Vitali Matsukevich: The main challenge is the inevitable player churn. Before the transition, operators conduct extensive information campaigns about technical changes and migration to a new platform, but not all users take the necessary actions to transfer their accounts. On our side, we assist in communication, share experiences from previous migrations, and make the process as easy as possible for users. 

Another challenge is that users might notice differences between the two platforms. For example, even if both platforms offer the same types of bonuses, they might be implemented differently or might have other slight differences. In this case, we strive to visually adapt the new platform to resemble the previous software. We also transfer all possible and significant information about players’ gaming preferences, for example. 

Overall, this is a complex process. We need to assess which aspects of the previous user experience should be transferred to the new platform. Sometimes, it may also be decided to enhance certain features. 

Another important challenge is maintaining SEO rankings so that the project continues to receive stable traffic from this channel. Our experienced specialists help transfer all necessary information, adapt pages, and take other actions to ensure that search engines either don’t notice the difference or even improve the project’s search ranking.

 

What steps are taken to minimise player churn and ensure their loyalty after migrating to the new platform?

Vitali Matsukevich: An individual strategy is developed for each project and specific user groups. This can include additional email campaigns offering players bonuses or other unique personalised offers during the transition period. This approach helps retain users and makes the migration process as attractive and seamless as possible for them.

 

What metrics do you use to evaluate the migration success, and how do you measure its impact on the operator’s business?

Vitali Matsukevich: The key metrics we use to evaluate the migration success include the speed, downtime, player retention rate (how many users successfully transitioned to the new platform), and the load on customer support. These metrics allow us to objectively assess how smoothly the migration went and identify any areas that may need improvement in future migrations.

 

What are SOFTSWISS’ plans for further developing and improving the migration process?

Vitali Matsukevich: After each migration, we refine our current workflow, adding new elements based on the experience gained. We are also actively working on obtaining additional certifications, as we are currently doing in Brazil so that our partners can quickly and seamlessly launch their projects as soon as they have the necessary licence.

 

How does operator feedback play a role in improving the migration process, and how does SOFTSWISS incorporate their suggestions and feedback?

Vitali Matsukevich: We actively gather feedback from our partners and conduct retrospective discussions within our team. During these meetings, we analyse the metrics and identify any delays or issues. It’s important to note that each migration is a unique project, and while the core steps remain the same, the workflow is always adapted to the specific case. This approach allows us to continuously improve our migration process and ensure successful collaboration with our partners.

 

Can you provide examples of successful migrations where your approach led to significant improvements for the operator?

Vitali Matsukevich: Yes, one of the most compelling examples of a successful migration is when we transitioned over a million players from a competitor’s platform to the SOFTSWISS Casino Platform and the SOFTSWISS Sportsbook in just five hours. This migration was a significant achievement, showcasing our platform’s technical robustness and our team’s ability to manage complex, large-scale transitions with minimal downtime.

During this process, we meticulously planned and executed the migration to ensure that player accounts, balances, and gaming histories were seamlessly transferred without any data loss.

BlueBull.tech strengthens as AffPlus.io launches new LatAm affiliate assets

Published

on

bluebulltech-strengthens-as-affplus.io-launches-new-latam-affiliate-assets

In less than a year since its launch, BlueBull.tech has positioned itself as a versatile partner within the iGaming ecosystem, providing managed services, strategic consulting, marketing, operations, and technology support to operators across multiple markets.

Led by the founder Lucas Lebleu, the company aims to act as an external growth and execution arm for operators seeking speed and market expertise.

Alongside this B2B services model, the group is also expanding its affiliate media presence through AffPlus.io, an independent network of international money sites and satellite platforms designed to capture qualified traffic and connect operators with targeted audiences across Brazil, Latin America, the United States, and other English-speaking markets.

“We are not just building websites. We are building media, acquisition, and positioning assets that are aligned with the new phase of global iGaming.” (L.L)

Before we talk about Cazinho.com, it is worth starting with BlueBull.tech. In just a few months, you have already positioned yourselves across several fronts in the sector. How do you define BlueBull.tech today?
BlueBull.tech was born with a very clear proposal: to be a strategic execution platform for operators. We did not want to be seen merely as an agency, nor just as a consultancy, and certainly not as a one-off supplier. What we built is something more transversal.

Today, BlueBull.tech acts as a managed services partner for operators of different sizes and realities. This includes fronts such as growth strategy, acquisition, CRM, content, marketing, operations, commercial expansion, business development, brand positioning, and technological support. In some cases, we come in in a very tactical way; in others, in a much more structural capacity, almost as an extension of the operator itself.

We have experience supporting operators in regulated markets such as France, as well as in markets with other international licensing structures.

This gives us a very broad reading of the sector, because we understand the differences between regulatory maturity, competitive dynamics, acquisition channels, and the operational requirements of each market.

Most importantly, BlueBull.tech was built to generate real impact. Less theory, more execution.

And where does AffPlus.io fit into this vision?
AffPlus.io is a separate business unit. This is very important to make absolutely clear. It has a different team, its own operation, and a specific focus on media, content, SEO, performance, and monetization through an international network of digital assets.

If BlueBull.tech was designed to serve operators and partners from the B2B side, AffPlus.io was created to develop our own acquisition, audience, and authority channels.

In other words: BlueBull.tech provides services, structures solutions, and drives business forward; AffPlus.io builds and scales proprietary affiliate and media assets.

The two fronts complement each other extremely well, because we have vision from both the operator side and the acquisition side.

This allows us to better understand what truly generates value, what converts with quality, what supports retention, and what makes sense in increasingly professional markets.

In addition to these two fronts, you also maintain important strategic partnerships within the industry. Does that remain a central part of the operation?
Without a doubt. We remain a strategic partner of Alea, and we continue to support different partners in the sector through a logic of consulting, commercial development, and strategic support.

That is also part of the DNA of BlueBull.tech. We have always viewed the business from an ecosystem perspective.

iGaming is an industry built on relationships between operators, aggregators, providers, affiliates, platforms, payment methods, technology, and distribution.

Our proposal has always been to operate with a broad rather than isolated vision.

Now moving into AffPlus.io: Cazinho.com is the first major hub announced for Brazil. How did the idea come about and what opportunity did you identify?
Cazinho.com was born from the perception that Brazil has entered a new stage. There is a huge market, a very active audience, operators seeking scale, and at the same time a growing need for professionalism, segmentation, and trust.

What we saw was that there was still room to build something better structured. Many affiliate projects remain overly generic, too dependent on a single site, weakly segmented by search intent, and in some cases insufficiently prepared for the new reality of the Brazilian market.

Cazinho.com was created precisely to respond to that. Not as a simple reviews site, but as a central hub within a broader acquisition ecosystem, with satellites designed to capture specific interests, reinforce thematic authority, and feed a smarter scaling strategy.

Who is behind the project? Is there a group operating this network?
Yes. The project sits within AffPlus.io, which is our unit dedicated to the network of money sites and satellite sites. It is an operation separate from BlueBull.tech, although both are led by me.

This distinction matters because it shows that this is not a side experiment, but a structured business line.

BlueBull.tech and AffPlus.io operate with different teams, different objectives, and different roles, even though they are aligned in vision and leadership.

What was the main gap you wanted to fill in the affiliate market with this initiative?
The main gap was the absence of a truly integrated model.

In many cases, the affiliate operates only with a focus on clicks and immediate conversion. In others, there is content, but without acquisition intelligence.

In still others, there is traffic, but no concern for reputation, regulatory context, or long-term value for the operator.

We wanted to fill exactly that space between media, content, segmentation, performance, and strategic positioning.

We want to build assets that function not only as traffic channels, but as authority and qualified acquisition platforms.

Cazinho.com was presented as the main portal of a broader network. What is the role of satellite sites such as Joga360.com, JogaTigrinho.com, AviatorCassino.com, and JogaAviaozinho.com?
They are fundamental to the strategy. Cazinho.com is the central hub of the brand in Brazil. It is where we consolidate editorial breadth, institutional positioning, comparisons, reviews, promotions, and the main authority architecture.

The satellites, in turn, allow us to attack niches, behaviors, and specific search intentions with much greater precision.

Joga360.com broadens reach into a wider layer of interest and discovery. JogaTigrinho.com speaks directly to an extremely strong vertical in Brazil.

AviatorCassino.com and JogaAviaozinho.com speak to a very specific type of search with enormous cultural and commercial relevance in the country.

This logic matters because high-quality traffic today does not come simply from being present, but from being present with the right asset, for the right intent, in the right language.

So will segmentation be based on game type, player profile, or another logic?
In practice, on several layers at the same time.

We segment by game type, by theme, by search intent, by stage of the funnel, by language, by geography, and by commercial fit between audience and operator.

This is an important point. We are not thinking only about more traffic. We are thinking about a better match between audience, context, and offer.

This increases the quality of acquisition and tends to generate more sustainable relationships with operator partners.

How do you intend to integrate all these sites to generate scale and qualified traffic?
Integration happens at different levels.

At the editorial level, each site has its own role, but all are part of a coherent architecture. At the SEO and intent level, each domain covers specific search fields, reinforcing the group’s presence as a whole.

At the commercial level, we are able to organize delivery for operators more intelligently, observing conversion, product fit, retention, and real value.

This creates a network effect. Instead of concentrating everything in a single asset, we are building several entry points that feed one another in terms of reach, authority, and monetization capacity.

Will the model be purely affiliate, based on CPA and RevShare, or will you offer something beyond that?
The affiliate model remains central, of course. CPA, RevShare, and hybrid structures are part of the natural logic of this business.

But the difference is that we do not think about our relationship with operators only in that way.

Behind AffPlus.io sits the full background of BlueBull.tech, which allows us to understand branding, acquisition, positioning, expansion, content, campaigns, operations, and strategy.

So yes: we can build much broader relationships with partners when that makes sense.

That is perhaps one of the group’s greatest differentiators.

The Brazilian market already has many affiliates. What makes the Cazinho network different?
I would say the difference lies in the combination of real industry experience, ecosystem vision, operational capability, and international ambition.

We are not entering the market merely as publishers.

We have hands-on experience supporting operators, an understanding of regulated and non-regulated markets, sensitivity to brand positioning, and a very strong commercial vision.

In addition, we are not building just one site. We are building a network of assets.

And that makes a difference, because it creates more touchpoints with the user, greater editorial depth, and more flexibility to work across different verticals and search intentions.

Editorial content seems to play a central role. How important will it be within the strategy?
Absolutely central.

Content will be one of the backbone elements of the project. In more mature or more regulated markets, you do not build value only with commercial pages.

You need trust, context, education, and credibility.

Reviews, guides, comparisons, editorials, thematic pages, and well-structured promotions will be an essential part of our operation.

But we want to do this in a useful, relevant, and consistent way, not as simple filler content to rank.

The best content is the kind that helps the user make better decisions — while at the same time helping the right operator find the right audience.

Brazil is going through a new regulatory phase for betting. How does that change the way of thinking about an affiliate project like this?
It changes a lot, and for the better, in my opinion.

This new regulatory phase tends to raise the level of requirements, reduce the space for improvisation, and favor more serious, more responsible structures that are aligned with a long-term vision.

For us, it reinforces exactly the direction we were already taking: operating responsibly, constantly reviewing content, adjusting communication quickly, respecting limits, working on reputation, and building something sustainable.

In a more regulated environment, trust becomes even more valuable.

And trust cannot be improvised.

Do you intend to work exclusively with licensed operators in Brazil?
In the Brazilian context, our direction is very clear: we want to build an operation aligned with the new reality of the market and with the consolidation of a more trustworthy environment for everyone.

The natural tendency is to strongly prioritize operators that are properly framed and prepared to operate within the new Brazilian scenario.

This is important for the project’s reputation, for audience protection, and for the type of positioning we want to build.

At the same time, as a group, we have international operations and continue to work through BlueBull.tech with markets of different regulatory natures.

But in Brazil’s case, the strategic path is one of increasing alignment with the new local environment.

You are launching not only in Brazil, but in several markets at the same time. What is the logic behind this international expansion?
The logic is to build an international architecture with localized execution.

In Brazil, we are moving forward with Cazinho.com and its satellites. In Spanish-speaking Latin America, with CasaDeApuestas.com and its complementary domains.

In the United States, in the sweepstakes vertical, with Sweeptakes.com and its satellites. And in the English-speaking market, with BetsWatch.com.

Each of these assets was designed for a distinct market context, behavior, regulation, and language. We do not believe in blind replication. We believe in strategic adaptation.

How is the CasaDeApuestas.com project positioned in relation to the Brazilian ecosystem?CasaDeApuestas.com represents our front for all of Spanish-speaking Latin America. It is a huge geography, with important particularities between Mexico, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, and other countries, but also with points of convergence in search behavior, gaming culture, and acquisition opportunities.

The satellites — jugaaviator.com, bonos247.com, jugaruleta.com, and gano365.com — follow the same logic as Brazil: thematic specialization, coverage of specific intentions, and reinforcement of the main hub.

And in the case of the United States, why enter through the sweepstakes vertical?
Because the North American market requires its own reading. It cannot be treated as a direct extension of traditional casino and betting models.

The sweepstakes vertical has a specific dynamic, a specific audience, and its own acquisition and positioning logic.

Sweeptakes.com, together with sweepsflix.com, sweepstake365.com, and sweepzon.com, was created precisely to respond to that reality, with an approach tailored to the local context.

What does BetsWatch.com represent within this strategy?
BetsWatch.com gives us an English-language asset with the potential to engage with a broader audience and also offer a more editorial and observational coverage of the market.

It expands our sphere of action and strengthens the group’s presence in English, which matters both from an audience standpoint and from an institutional positioning perspective.

In just 10 months of operation, you are already combining consultancy, managed services, proprietary affiliation, strategic partnerships, and international expansion. What explains this speed?
I would say there are three factors. First, accumulated experience.

We are not starting from zero in terms of industry knowledge. Second, clarity of vision.

From the beginning, we knew we wanted to build something bigger than a niche operation.

Third, execution. We have a mindset of making things happen, testing fast, adjusting fast, and moving forward.

The market moves quickly. Those who wait too long lose timing.

And what is the long-term ambition for Cazinho.com within the Brazilian iGaming ecosystem?
We want Cazinho.com to become one of the sector’s references in Brazil — not only in volume, but in credibility, editorial relevance, qualified acquisition capacity, and value delivered to partners.

We want to be recognized as a serious, useful platform, strong in content, strong in positioning, and aligned with the professionalization of the Brazilian market.

But in the end, Cazinho.com is also the symbol of something bigger: the construction of a new generation of international media and performance assets within iGaming.

To close: where will the market be able to find you in the coming months?
We will be at BIS / SiGMA São Paulo and, shortly after that, in Paraguay.

It will be an excellent opportunity to reconnect with partners, open new conversations, and show in greater depth everything we are building with BlueBull.tech and AffPlus.io.

We are only at the beginning.

With a proposal that combines B2B execution, ecosystem vision, proprietary media assets, and international ambition, Lucas Lebleu is shaping an operation that is still uncommon in today’s iGaming landscape.

On one side, BlueBull.tech is consolidating itself as a strategic partner for operators of different profiles and markets. On the other, AffPlus.io is accelerating the launch of its own network of hubs and satellites spanning Brazil, Spanish-speaking Latin America, the United States, and English-speaking markets.

In a sector that is becoming increasingly competitive, regulated, and professionalized, the message is clear: this is not just about generating traffic or providing services.

It is about building structures with commercial depth, market intelligence, and long-term vision.

Adam Miles Director of Sales DEGEN Studios

Why the Slot Market Needs to Move Beyond the ‘Safe Middle’

Published

on

why-the-slot-market-needs-to-move-beyond-the-‘safe-middle’

Check out our latest Q&A w/ Adam Miles, Director of Sales, DEGEN Studios

You’ve joined DEGEN as Director of Sales at a key moment for the studio. What drew you to the role?

DEGEN has a very defined identity. It’s not trying to sit in the safe middle of the market, and it’s not trying to be everything to everyone. The games are high-volatility, identity-led and built with a specific player in mind. That makes the commercial proposition much stronger.

In a saturated industry, differentiation isn’t optional. Operators don’t need more generic content. They need studios that understand their audience and can deliver something with character and intent. DEGEN already had that direction, which made the opportunity compelling.

DEGEN positions itself as bold and disruptive. Does that make the sales conversation easier or more challenging?

It makes it clearer. When you have a defined identity, you’re not trying to convince every operator. You’re engaging with those who understand the value of differentiated content and who have player segments that respond to high-volatility, high-impact experiences.

Safe content will always have a place. But there is a significant audience looking for something more intense, more distinctive. Our job commercially is to ensure DEGEN’s portfolio is positioned where it will resonate most.

Transparency around who you are simplifies the conversation, shifting the focus from volume to value.

What are your immediate priorities in the role?

First, strengthening global distribution in a targeted way. It’s not about placing the portfolio everywhere. It’s about aligning with operators and aggregators who understand our positioning and can give the games the right context in their lobbies.

Second, deepening partnerships. We want operators to see DEGEN as a studio with a defined role in their content mix, particularly for high-volatility segments.

Internally, it’s also about feedback. Sales shouldn’t operate in isolation. Performance data, operator insight and market trends need to feed back into roadmap discussions. That loop between commercial and creative teams is essential if you want consistent growth.

DEGEN recently launched the DEGEN Powered initiative. How does that fit into your commercial strategy?

DEGEN Powered expands the conversation beyond individual releases. By partnering with studios like Spin Lab, who share a similar philosophy around player-first, identity-led design, we’re building a broader ecosystem.

It’s not a funding model or a traditional publishing structure; it is a strategic alignment. The studios maintain independence, but the DEGEN Powered banner signals shared values and a commitment to high-impact gameplay.

Commercially, that adds depth. It shows consistency in approach and reinforces the idea that this isn’t a one-off tone, it’s a growing segment of the market.

In such a competitive market, what gives DEGEN a genuine edge?

Most studios will aim for the broadest possible appeal, for DEGEN it’s about audience focus and being intentional. The portfolio is built around clearly defined player behaviours, particularly those who engage with higher volatility and stronger thematic identity.

When you understand who the game is for, your commercial message becomes sharper. Instead of promising universal appeal, you can demonstrate defined appeal backed by performance logic.

Operators are increasingly data-driven. They segment their player bases carefully. When a studio understands that segmentation and builds accordingly, the commercial discussion becomes more credible.

As your role develops, what does success look like for you?

Success is about expanding the brand sustainably. That means entering key markets with the right partners, strengthening our global footprint and ensuring the portfolio performs consistently across different territories.

It’s also about reputation. I want DEGEN to be recognised not just as a creative studio with attitude, but as a reliable commercial partner. A studio that delivers differentiated content and backs it with structured, strategic growth.

If operators associate DEGEN with bold, high-volatility experiences that perform for specific segments, and they trust us to support that with strong partnerships and execution, then we’re on the right path.

Ultimately for me, the role is about scaling the commercial side of the business while protecting what makes DEGEN different.

Compliance by Design: How Built-In Regulation Accelerates Game Launches

Published

Interview with Alberto Ruiz-Ocaña, Senior Business Development Manager at GLI

Ahead of HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026, we speak with Alberto Ruiz-Ocaña, Senior Business Development Manager at Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®), to explore how embedding compliance directly into the game development lifecycle can dramatically accelerate market entry in today’s increasingly regulated gaming landscape.

Alberto, you will be speaking on the Markets, Expansion & Forward Outlook panel at the Compliance Stage. From your vantage point, how is the role of “compliance by design” evolving as operators and suppliers scale across an increasing number of regulated markets?

Previously, gaming operators and suppliers focused primarily on designing products to meet market demand, and although this remains a vital focus point, when expanding into multiple regulated markets they face challenges dedicating significant time and resources to adapt these products to meet requirements of each individual jurisdiction.

Today, leading operators and suppliers are integrating compliance into the product lifecycle from the beginning. Compliance is no longer treated as a final checkbox, but as a core design principle that shapes workflows and feature decisions. This approach allows teams to scale faster across regulated markets, reduce rework, and empower teams to build games that are both innovative and regulation-ready.

From your experience working with operators and suppliers globally, what are the most common compliance gaps that still delay launches in regulated markets?

In my experience, the most common delays around launches are due to difficulty in understanding the technical requirements defined by the regulators, which can vary directly and in ways that are more nuanced in each jurisdiction. By consulting and engaging with our compliance specialists upfront, it allows teams to clearly define all technical and regulatory prerequisites before applying changes to products. This proactive approach avoids rework and reduces uncertainty, enabling teams to launch faster.

GLI is widely recognized for its pre-compliance and certification services. How does early engagement with testing partners change the speed and efficiency of market entry for new products?

Early engagement with a testing partner is a key accelerator for successful market entry, especially when planning to launch across multiple markets. When GLI is involved at the very beginning, visibility into technical constraints, certification requirements, and market specific expectations are provided. This full life-cycle compliance approach allows operators and suppliers to build strong, scalable platforms, while clearly separating the elements that must be adapted for each jurisdiction.

As regulated markets continue to multiply, how should development teams balance innovation speed with the growing complexity of jurisdiction-specific technical standards?

Consult with GLI early and often. There are more opportunities than ever before, and that is exciting for suppliers. With that also comes the need to be mindful of regulations which can also evolve quickly. Because of our global network, GLI can provide the most up-to-date information available so that suppliers can build their innovative products with compliance in mind right from the beginning of their development process.

Many emerging jurisdictions are introducing new regulatory frameworks. What practical steps should suppliers take today to future-proof their products against evolving compliance requirements?

After testing and certification, it is equally important for suppliers and operators to stay closely connected with GLI. Ongoing collaboration ensures that teams remain informed about regulatory updates, emerging requirements, and market-specific changes before they become obstacles.

Another practical step is to design products using well-established GLI Standard Series as the framework. These industry standards reflect global best practices and provide technical guidelines that suppliers can use during development, helping them align with many regulatory expectations from the start.

When suppliers build their platforms around these widely recognized standards, they create a strong and compliant foundation that already aligns with the majority of regulatory principles. From there, adapting to specific jurisdictional requirements becomes significantly easier and more efficient.

Beyond technical approval, how does strong compliance strategy contribute to long-term commercial success, trust with regulators, and smoother global expansion?

Having a strong compliance strategy is essential to suppliers of all sizes, and utilizing the global GLI network of technical and compliance experts is the best tool in anyone’s toolbox. One of the most meaningful outcomes we hear from clients who tap into our expertise is that, after completing certification, their product is stronger from a quality and reliability perspective. Doing things properly shows trust and quality, which is one of the keys to success.

GLI is the Grand Quality & Compliance Sponsor at HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026. What key conversations are you looking forward to having with operators and suppliers during the event, and where do you see the biggest compliance challenges — and opportunities — emerging next?

I am excited to hear what the other panelists will share, but also very interested in the questions from the public, as we need to know the different points of view of all shareholders in the gaming sector. My main goal is to meet new people and support with our knowledge on any projects they will have moving forward.
