Leading online gaming software developer EvenBet Gaming is set to showcase its latest product innovations at ICE London 2020, including its newly-launched South and Latin American poker network.

At Stand S3-200, delegates will be able to find out more about the new network, designed to let operators target the region’s emerging markets through its world-class omnichannel platform, which offers over 32 different games types.

Since launching, the network has gained significant traction with established operators and new start-ups across Colombia, with more integrations expected to follow in territories such as Argentina, Brazil and Peru the coming months.

In addition, the leading developer will be exhibiting the latest updates to its award-winning poker platform, including a Mini Games feature that is now available cross-platform, which has hundreds of “snackable” slots and games that can easily be integrated into an operator’s ecosystem.

EvenBet has also added a sports betting function that is available as a side game, meaning players no longer need to leave a poker table in order to wager on a live sporting event. Through a seamless integration, the user database and financial data are exchanged between systems without interfering with the user experience.

As part of its efforts to grow the business globally, the company expects to be granted a supplier licence by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) in the near future.

Dmitry Starostenkov, EvenBet Gaming CEO, said: “We’ve enjoyed a really strong period of growth over the previous 12 months with the business expanding internationally and the launch of several new and exciting poker products.

“ICE London 2020 provides us with a fantastic opportunity to showcase everything we offer and enlighten delegates as to how we’re breathing new life into the poker experience for players worldwide.”

GR8 Tech is implementing a series of platform-wide enhancements designed to help operators maximize performance during the year’s biggest sporting event. With the World Cup expected to drive massive traffic, repeated betting surges, and intense competition for player acquisition, these updates focus on the areas that most directly impact operator results. The improvements aim to help partners convert more traffic, retain more players, and extract greater value throughout the entire tournament journey.

“World Cup traffic by itself does not guarantee better results. What matters is how well operators can turn that attention into acquisition, conversion, retention, and long-term player value,” said Denys Parkhomenko, Chief Product Officer at GR8 Tech. “That is where our focus is right now. We are enhancing the sportsbook experience, expanding engagement and loyalty tools, and advancing our crypto capabilities to help partners make the most of the biggest opportunity of the year.”

Key Areas of Focus

1. Sportsbook
The sportsbook is receiving a comprehensive upgrade, including redesigned navigation for easier event discovery, improved campaign visibility, and enhanced Bet Builder functionality. Additional updates include quick-access, player-specific markets and new Odds Boost features, balancing player appeal with margin control.

2. Engagement and Retention
GR8 Tech is expanding its loyalty and bonus systems with a VIP-focused program, automated bonus mechanics, more flexible bonus selection, and enriched casino and sports-related engagement tools. The update also includes updated tournament settings and the introduction of new game content to enhance player retention.

3. Crypto
The company is strengthening its crypto offering with early-stage player segmentation based on wallet transaction history, more flexible VIP and risk management before first deposit, and smoother wallet-based payments, including ramp payments and direct top-ups via WalletConnect and other wallets.

Across the platform, these updates are designed to help operators capitalize on the World Cup’s peak traffic, delivering measurable improvements at every stage of the player journey. Detailed release notes will follow, highlighting specific product enhancements and the developments shaping GR8 Tech’s World Cup-ready platform.
