We are Betinvest: The talent behind the technology
Speaking ahead of ICE 2020, Betinvest COO Max Dubossarsky outlined the company’s plan to launch We are Betinvest, a project which sheds light on the teams of people behind the brand.
What has inspired Betinvest to share the stories of its team members and their many different areas of specialization?
For over 20 years of working in the industry, we have always found that our most valued resource is our team. It is thanks to their professionalism and talent that new products and solutions are created, and different ways to promote our services are developed. It is our employees who are changing the industry with their day-to-day work. And the result of their hard work is reflected in the high market value of our product, the reputation of the company, and the loyalty of our clients. Our team is the main driving force behind the business.
Because we are striving to develop the industry as a whole, we have decided to speak openly about the internal workings of our business. And so, the aim of our project We are Betinvest is to introduce you to the different departments within the company, in terms of the professional and personal qualities of our employees alike. We believe that this will broaden understanding of the complex internal processes of our business: at what stage of a project are different teams involved, what issues do they deal with, and what is their overall contribution? With this project, we hope to raise awareness of all the job descriptions in the gambling industry amongst our followers on social media and show them that Betinvest is all of us, and each and every one of us.
Where can we follow these stories and how will you share them? Can you tell us which department will be first up?
The We are Betinvest project will be launched in February, straight after ICE London, and can be followed on our official Facebook and LinkedIn profiles. Every team of specialists will be featured in the publication series, starting with an introduction to the team at the very heart of our sports betting business: the traders. We hope that readers will find this interesting and informative.
Follow us on social media and give us your feedback. We’d love to hear from you!
How important is it that companies hire candidates who are the right fit for the team?
Of course, it’s very important that everyone fits in, and does what they do best and what they’re passionate about. So, as well as having a thorough selection process, we do our best not to lose our professionals when they decide they want a change of direction: we help them do so within the company. Each of our employees is able to develop not just within their own job role, but also to change specializations and departments.
In terms of recruitment, let’s take as an example our team of traders. We have a special training program and system of career progression within the company for new employees. But from the outset, potential traders must have a good working knowledge of maths and the theory of probability, and they need to enjoy sport and have a deep understanding of certain sports in particular. When part of an experienced team, all of this knowledge will be transformed into a professional skillset. But in this line of work, a love of sport is a real necessity.
Each and every one of our employees is valued, not just as professionals in their area and as individuals, but as members of the team. That’s why it’s also important to us that new employees become part of the Betinvest family, share our values and corporate culture, and stay with us for as long as possible.
What does Betinvest do to cultivate a productive environment to allow its talented specialists to thrive?
A large part of our lives is spent at work, and we understand the importance of corporate culture, and an office environment that facilitates productive work and recreation. I also mentioned earlier that we always listen to our team’s wishes to learn and develop, and we provide opportunities for them to fulfil their potential in a variety of projects within the company. This has a direct effect on satisfaction levels.
Studies have shown that people are more productive at work and take their work more seriously if they get on well with their colleagues. We facilitate this by organizing team building events – both for department teams and interdepartmental. Friendly relations within a company break down barriers, increase efficiency, and make our time at work more enjoyable.
An important part of the work carried out by our HR department is the professional development of our team. So, as well as employee benefits which include insurance and access to a gym, we offer our employees extra training through professional courses, workshops, and training sessions.
And, of course, we make sure the office has everything it needs so that it is both a comfortable working environment and well suited for recreational time.
Can you define the Betinvest culture in less than 140 characters? How does this translate to a top-quality product and service for clients?
We place great importance on values such as flexibility, openness, innovation, and professionalism.
This is reflected in and defines our products and services. With our experience in the industry and the range of sports betting solutions we offer, we are a single entry point into the gaming industry for our clients.

1spin4win presents Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win to mark its 5th anniversary
On May 14, 2026, 1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.
Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024. This growth has helped the provider earn the trust of over 1,000 global operators, including leading brands such as SOFTSWISS, EveryMatrix, Alea, SoftGaming, Digitain, and BetConstruct.
As part of the milestone celebration, 1spin4win introduces Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win, a special slot highlighting the studio’s landmark titles and renowned characters. Alongside traditional fruit, bells, and sevens, the colorful 3×3 grid features Wild symbols shaped as red bezel-set diamonds. When activated, they illuminate the “5 Years” sign, reinforcing the game’s anniversary theme.
The celebratory atmosphere continues through the slot’s rewarding features. Landing nine identical symbols doubles the win, while three or more Coins trigger the exciting Hold and Win Bonus round. With three starting respins, players get the chance to claim two festive Jackpots — the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1000 Megapot.
To mark the 5-year anniversary, 1spin4win is also launching special promotional campaigns in collaboration with Olymp and Selector. To give players additional opportunities to join the celebration, the partners will distribute exclusive promo codes, which will also be available to the registered users of the provider’s Players Room platform.
Olga Hlukhovskaya, Business Development Director at 1spin4win, commented, “Five years in the industry is an important testament to how far 1spin4win has come. Since 2021, we’ve grown into an acknowledged iGaming brand trusted by top global companies. Looking ahead, we plan to keep expanding across African and Latin American markets, deepen our relationships with regional operators, and further strengthen our presence in Europe. For us, this anniversary is not only about celebrating past achievements, but also about building the next stage of 1spin4win’s journey.
Olga Bogdanova, Art Director at 1spin4win, shared, “Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win is dedicated to the 1spin4win 5th anniversary in the casino industry. The game’s design brings together iconic characters and signature symbols from our previous releases, well-known to both our players and partners. The result is a vibrant product featuring engaging Hold and Win mechanics and the recognizable 1spin4win classic style. We invite everyone to join the celebration of our anniversary, test their luck in the slot, compete for festive jackpots, and revisit their favorite 1spin4win games!”

Stake releases Zoo casino game: a fast, multiplayer Stake Original where players bet on the wild side
A new live-round Stake Original where every player bets on the same outcome – six animals, a 20-tile track, three results per round, and wins up to 1,000x in play.
Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, has today launched its Zoo casino game, a new multiplayer Stake Original that brings every player into the same live round to bet on six animals across a 20-tile track. Available worldwide on Stake, Zoo is the latest title to join the growing Stake Originals collection.
Zoo takes the shared-round excitement that has made games like Crash a Stake Originals staple and pairs it with simpler, more visual decision-making. Each round, six animals – Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Crocodile, Rhino, and Penguin – appear on a 20-tile circular track, with each animal showing up a different number of times to create clear volatility tiers and payout differences across the board. Players have ten seconds to back one or more animals before the track spins up and locks in three result tiles in the center of the screen.
Zoo launches with a 98% RTP, a top multiplier of 1,000x per round, and full auto bet controls that let players preset their wager amount, number of rounds, and chosen animals. Designed as a simpler, more visual evolution of popular casino games like Roulette and Sic Bo, Zoo strips back the complexity without compromising on depth. The rarer the animal, the bigger the reward – Lion and Cheetah each appear only once on the track, Elephant and Crocodile twice, Rhino four times, and Penguin ten, giving players a clear read on the risk and payout of every play. With three result tiles drawn each round, players win based on how many times their chosen animal lands across all three.
“Zoo is exactly the kind of game we want Stake Originals to be known for – fast, simple to pick up, and genuinely fun to play in an online setting filled with other players. There’s real tension in watching the three tiles land for the whole table at once, and we think players are going to find their favourite animals pretty quickly,” said Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin.
Zoo joins a growing line-up of in-house multiplayer game creations on Stake Casino, with the goal of keeping every Stake Original easy to learn, quick to play, and a little bit different from anything else in the iGaming industry.
