Pre-SiGMA Q&A w/Chris Nikolopoulos, CCO at Betby
Chris Nikolopoulos, CCO at Betby, sat down with European Gaming to discuss the upcoming SIGMA conference, and what to expect from the exciting sportsbook supplier.
SiGMA is right around the corner, what can we expect to see from Betby at the show?
Betby will be exhibiting at stand B49, where we will be showcasing our forward-thinking sportsbook solution and popular Betby.Games offering – both of which demonstrate our credentials as a flexible, customer-centric supplier with global ambition.
By taking classic sports betting markets and pivoting them into a proprietary range of AI-led video games, we have demonstrated our innovative approach to problem solving, while continuing to carve a niche for ourselves in the market. We will have a number of experts on hand at SiGMA to talk visitors through our unique products and look forward to having the opportunity to discuss some of our exciting upcoming projects with industry colleagues and prospective clients.
As always, the show provides a fantastic opportunity to meet up with old friends, new partners, and continue to enjoy the return of live events following the pandemic. For this reason, we will have a big presence at the event throughout the week, so please do not hesitate to come over for a chat!
What are you most excited for at the event?
SiGMA never fails to put on a fantastic collection of both exhibits and panel discussions, and we’re really interested to see what major industry figures have to say on a number of interesting topics, as well as share our insight with partners.
The summit has long established itself as a key event in the iGaming calendar, and the strength of attendees serves as a testament to this. Everything is lined up for it to be another fantastic exhibition, and we are so excited to arrive in Malta for the week-long event.
The 2022 World Cup is just around the corner, with it set to be an intriguing tournament with its new place in the calendar. What does Betby have planned to capitalise on the event?
It is well established that soccer is the most popular sport around the world, so the World Cup is naturally seen as the biggest event in the sporting calendar. With the tournament taking place in winter for the first time ever, sports fans have no idea what to expect from it, and are anxiously awaiting for it to kick off at the end of the month.
At Betby, we have prepared a series of World Cup-inspired features to offer our clients the best possible experience while it is played out, which should allow them to maximise the attention and engagement potential that arrives with the month-long competition. As we edge closer to the first round of games, we are set to release our dedicated World Cup page, packed full of useful information, statistics, and odds to keep bettors well informed and aware of the various trends that emerge during events of this size.
We’re also applying the final touches to our anticipated World Cup gamification widget, which will all allow bettors to earn points and move up a leaderboard by placing bets under specific conditions, mimicking the excitement that the group stages of the tournament generate. The innovative feature will allow participants to qualify for a number of incredible prizes, which we will be sponsoring in collaboration with our partners!
The greatest service we can provide our partners with at extremely demanding times is a reliable and scalable system, but this has always been a core principle of ours. For us at Betby, it has always been about keeping our partners happy during these intense periods, reminding them that we offer a first-rate solution that requires no additional maintenance from their end.
Betby has enjoyed a strong year of product development, particularly with its Betby.Games range. Can we expect to see more products launched in this vertical soon?
The Betby.Games range has earned its reputation as one of the most revolutionary products in the industry and is playing a big role in our success as a separate business unit under the Betby umbrella. We now cover eight different sports and approximately 100,000 live events per month in the product portfolio, and the number is only set to increase in the months ahead.
Of course, development never stops, and we are currently working on several projects that we believe will really stand out in the market. I can’t reveal all the details yet, but what I can say is that instead of launching another sport or increasing the coverage on existing sports which we will already do, we will be offering some sport related games under the form of quick gameplay.
The Betby.Games offering will continue growing and morphing into an incredibly exciting product that sits in a vertical all of its own, and we cannot wait to see how the new products are received by our customers.

Slotegrator now provides native app experience for iGaming platforms with PWA function
Slotegrator’s platform solution now offers progressive web app (PWA) functionality, enabling operators to provide installable casino apps with push notifications, flexible branding, and seamless access across changing domains.
The Casino Builder module in Slotegator’s platform solution has been upgraded with a Progressive Web Application (PWA) feature that allows casinos to deliver an app-like experience without relying on the App Store or Google Play.
Native apps are powerful tools for building customer loyalty and enhancing engagement. However, iGaming brands face serious obstacles, such as strict marketplace policies, long review processes, geographic restrictions, and the constant threat of app removal. Slotegrator’s PWA functionality eliminates these barriers, allowing players to install a casino app directly from their browser and enjoy many of the same benefits as a native app.
After installation, the PWA opens from the user’s home screen, loads fast, and supports push notification integration that enhances player engagement and retention.
“Mobile is still the leading channel for user acquisition and retention; however, it’s difficult to distribute native apps in iGaming,” says Olga Ivanchik, COO at Slotegrator. “Our new PWA feature gives operators an alternative that will be familiar to their players, while eliminating the complications related to conventional app stores. Operators can launch quickly, retain full control over updates, and ensure a perfect mobile gaming experience for any market.”
Within the next 2 months, operators will also have the ability to determine when the PWA install bar will be visible to the player. For example, displaying the install bar immediately after the first deposit, as part of a broader retention strategy, helps drive long-term player LTV. The operator can also set up frequency of the install offer — daily, weekly, just once, etc.
Some operators have to consider UX for multiple frontends. Luckily, the installation widgets are highly flexible, helping them drive maximum conversion without sacrificing user experience. Operators can select a top bar or a top banner installation widget, both of which are fully customizable with branded icons, messaging, and backgrounds.
Operators can limit the visibility of their installation campaigns to specific devices — desktop, mobile, Android, or iOS — thanks to special targeting options. Operators can also design acquisition strategies specific to each platform, driving installs only where they offer the best user experience.
When players install the PWA, operators can connect it to push notification services, so they can re-engage them even when the application isn’t actively open.
Mirror domain compatibility addresses a common operational challenge in restricted markets. If an operator has to change domains due to licensing or regulatory requirements, players who have already installed the PWA will be able to continue using it without reinstallation.
Unlike native applications, PWAs don’t require App Store or Google Play approval, effectively eliminating possible delays and the risk of removal from the market. Instead, operators can deploy updates instantly to every user.
The new PWA functionality is now available in Slotegrator’s Casino Builder module, alongside other tools for improving mobile acquisition, engagement, and player retention.

eGaming Integrity wins SME News UK Enterprise Award for gambling assurance
eGaming Integrity has been named Independent Online Gambling Assurance Provider of the Year 2026 at the UK Enterprise Awards, organised by SME News. The company is based in the Isle of Man and works with operators in regulated online gambling markets.
According to the company, the award recognises its assurance work aimed at helping gambling operators evaluate whether their compliance processes are prepared for regulated market requirements, as regulatory expectations increase around compliance standards and customer protection.
eGaming Integrity said its internal audit reviews assess how gambling businesses operate in practice, including whether procedures and controls meet standards expected by regulators. The company added that the process is designed to help operators identify where controls are effective and where improvements may be needed before issues emerge.
Emma Shilling, Director at eGaming Integrity, said,
“This award recognises the reason eGaming Integrity was created. Responsible operators want to know where they stand before problems appear, and independent assurance provides that outside perspective.
“Our team has seen regulation from both sides, which helps us understand where processes can break down and how operators can make practical improvements.”
Speaking on the accomplishments of the 2026 winners, Laura O’Carroll, Awards Manager, said,
“The announcement of our UK Enterprise Awards is perhaps one of our most anticipated milestones every year, and the 2026 launch is no different. We are truly pleased to deliver our digital magazine and winners list, showcasing such excellence, to our readers again this year. Atop this, to our winners, and from our team to yours, we wish you all a sincere congratulations on your success in this year’s programme.”

Booming Games launches Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter slot
Booming Games has launched Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter, a new online slot released on 16 July 2026 from the supplier’s Malta base. The title is the second game in its Max Scatter series and uses a 6×4 grid with Scatter Pays, cascading wins and a stated maximum win potential of 15,000x.
The game pays when eight or more of the same symbol land. Winning symbols are removed and remaining symbols cascade down, with new symbols dropping in until no further wins are formed.
Free Spins are triggered by landing four or more Scatter symbols, including Scatters and Max Scatters, awarding 10 Free Spins. During the bonus, Random Multipliers can appear with values from 2x to 100x and remain active until the cascade sequence ends, after which multiplier values are combined and applied to the total win. Three or more Scatter symbols during Free Spins add five additional spins, while the feature ends if the max win is awarded.
Booming Games also includes Bonus Buy options priced at 100x the bet amount and a “Super Buy Bonus” at 500x, which the company says offers multipliers from 15x to 100x. A BOOST+ option increases the bet by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features.
Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Tasty Bonanza Max Scatter is a great example of how we’re innovating within one of our top performing franchises. By adding exciting new Max Scatter mechanics to one of our most popular slots, we are confident the game will appeal to players looking for top-quality entertainment and high-stakes gameplay.”
