EXPLORING THE ALTERNATIVES TO CLASSIC SPORTS BETTING
The time has come for Virtual Sports, Fantasy Sports, eSports and Social Gaming to flourish. Sports bettors are spending more time betting on Virtual Sports and Fantasy Sports. The engagement in Social Gaming has also seen growth. But, will this hype continue once all is resumed? The experts of the “ALTERNATIVES TO CLASSIC SPORTS BETTING ARE FLOURISHING” panel discussion, which will be moderated by Vasco Albuquerque (SEO Manager at All-in Global), is joined by Anastasios (Tassos) Panagiotaros (Sales Director at Golden Race – Virtual Sports & Betting Solution), Robert Toth (Business Development Manager at Global Bet Virtual Sports), Robert Dowling (Chief Commercial Officer at Singular), Ivan Rozić (Senior Vice President for Global Sales and Business Development at NSoft), and Dr. Holger Jakob (Senior Lawyer at MELCHERS LAW), – will add their point of view to the subject and create a clear view for operators that are currently looking for alternatives.
FOCUS ON LATIN AMERICA
Is the Emergence of LatAm markets stopped by the current shortage of sports events? Is the market adapting to the new demands of the global gambling audience? During the virtual conference, you have the opportunity to tap into local information by top Latin American experts in the “FOCUS ON LATIN AMERICA” panel discussion. The discussion will be moderated by Fernando Saffores (Founder & Director at Focus Gaming News – one of the most well-known daily gaming industry newspaper around the world) and will be joined by Karen Marcela Sierra-Hughes (Director, Latin America and Caribbean Government Relations and Business Development at Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®)), Angelo Alberoni (Business Relation Manager Vivagol Brasil / Bet Entertainment Technologies), Thomas Carvalhaes (Group Country Manager – Brazil and Latin America at LeoVegas) and Antonio Salord Domínguez (Sales Director Latam at Magellan Robotech).
THE AFFILIATES/MARKETING COMPANIES ARE IN DANGER?
The marketing industry is also suffering in the COVID-19 period. While regulation is claiming its toll, now there are different perspectives to look at. We will analyze how affiliates and affiliate managers are working together to sail out of these hard times. Marketing experts, Affiliate Industry Experts and Customer Engagement Evangelists are going to join the “HOW ARE AFFILIATES/MARKETING COMPANIES SURVIVING THIS PERIOD ON UNCERTAINTY?” panel discussion, which will be moderated by Lee-Ann Johnstone (Co-Founder of AffiliateINSIDER).
The discussion will be joined by Martin Calvert (Marketing Director at ICS), Magith Noohukha (Customer Engagement Evangelist at Braze), Eitan Gorodetsky (Director Of Acquisition at Betsson Group), and Assaf Stieglitz (President at Odds1x2 Holdings).

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards

At this year’s GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rare—and pretty remarkable—in the “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” category.
With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:
- Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
- Dario Jurčić, CEO at NSoft
But here’s where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.
That’s right—after weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.
And while only one person can technically take home the winner’s trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:
- An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” awarded to Dario Jurčić, CEO of NSoft.
Why This Matters
The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.
Dario Jurčić has played a vital role in expanding NSoft’s influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting community—and with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.
A Testament to a Vibrant Industry
The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership we’re seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.
We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario Jurčić for standing out in such a competitive field.
Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful story—and this year, it certainly did.
