BetGames.TV is a unique, innovative and pioneering live dealer betting games supplier. The live broadcast business model provides games that are distinctive, unique and fresh. The Company continuously seeks to create, adapt and revolutionise their product range – with their latest game Poker6+ set to take the market by storm.

The concept of 6+ Poker is based on a variation of the wildly popular standard Poker ‘Hold Em’ version. The standard rules of Poker have been tweaked for absolute user interaction and encapsulates an individual look, feel and gameplay.

“BetGames.TV constantly aims for pleasing the palate of our end-users and consumers as well as increase productivity and gameplay for our clients … and Poker6+ is a new game that brings out all the best elements of Poker and increases interactivity and creates an immersive experience,” says company COO Aiste Garneviciene.

The name of the game, 6+ POKER, shows that each draw consists of a 36-deck card, with the lowest card number being a six. The interesting, inventive and unique dynamic will provide a new experience, and will create a deeper love for the game.
This alternate version allows for consumers to land more hands and feel immersed in the game. The action offers a feeling of a one-on-one experience – with the end-user having a choice to place a bet on their hand, other players at the table’s hand or the dealer’s hand.
The game is both subtly and radically different from a traditional poker hand, with a 36-card deck producing big hands more often, and the one-on-one experience with our dealers creates a cosy atmosphere while also offering amazing outcome-based opportunities. The game brings about an increased chance of winning and a radical approach that sees a shake-up in winning hands and boasts sensational outcome-based odds and wins.

The format of Poker6+ allows the player an increased mathematical probability of winning on a straight, full house and three of a kind, and with only cards 6 upwards featuring the vibe is fast-paced and produces a euphoric and winning feeling in the minds and hearts of the consumer.

“The alterations to our outcomes show a flush beat a full house and a three of a kind beat a straight, and it is just this kind of pulsating new energy and interaction that will see Poker6+ become a success.

“The modern consumer is often stuck with a staid Poker environment, with a sameness look, feel and gameplay, but with innovation and a unique approach to pleasing our consumer BetGames.TV will never settle for mediocrity,” the excited COO explains.

Company CCO Richard Hogg is equally thrilled at the prospect of the new game taking the market by storm and explains that in the industry of iGaming, a company must always look to create new win-opportunities for stakeholders.

“The game is based on creating a feeling of winning big especially with 36 cards in the deck and non-stop action.

“There are also highly competitive odds and win-chances,” he adds.

Nobody knows what the future may hold when it comes to the iGaming sector, but one thing is certain … the online game industry is always changing and a woke company must consistently keep track with the latest developments.

“We love to invent, re-invent, adapt and be part of the iGaming revolution” concludes Garneviciene.

Greece Led Europe’s iGaming Growth in 2025 — Now the Drivers Are Fully Explained

In the second half of 2025, Greece emerged as Europe’s fastest-growing iGaming market. While several major jurisdictions slowed or declined, Greek market demand rose by more than 50% between June and December, standing out as one of the year’s clearest growth stories.

According to data from Blask, the surge was not the result of a single tournament or seasonal spike. Instead, it reflected a structural shift driven by a combination of sports momentum, regulatory reform and casino market dynamics — factors that can now be traced in detail through Blask’s newly released Market Explanation feature.

Continuous sports momentum without demand gaps

Greece’s growth was underpinned by a tightly stacked sports calendar that sustained engagement across multiple months. EuroBasket 2025 in late August, the kickoff of the Stoiximan Super League, UEFA Champions League matchdays under the new league-phase format, and the EuroLeague season featuring Greek clubs created a continuous rhythm of high-interest betting cycles throughout autumn.

Rather than short-lived peaks followed by sharp declines, demand remained elevated well beyond individual events. This is a pattern clearly visible on the Blask Index trend line.

Casino reform reshaped demand behavior

One of the most significant contributors came from the casino segment. Greece’s decision to raise RNG stake limits from €2 to €20 altered the mechanics of the market, allowing online casinos to absorb demand during sports off-peak periods.

As sports-led acquisition increasingly converted into casino play, operators reported double-digit iGaming growth. Market Explanation analysis shows that this effect persisted over time, confirming the shift as structural rather than seasonal.

Enforcement redirected demand to licensed operators

Regulatory action further reinforced the upward trend. In December, Greek authorities blocked approximately 11,000 illegal gambling domains. Instead of suppressing demand, the move redirected player interest toward licensed platforms, strengthening regulated market performance.

The impact was amplified by the adoption of IRIS instant payments, which reduced deposit friction and improved conversion from interest to activity.

From tracking trends to understanding causes

To surface these drivers, Blask has introduced Market Explanation — an AI-powered layer within the Blask Index that allows users to click on any country’s trend line and instantly see a sourced breakdown of the forces behind the movement. Sports calendars, regulatory changes, casino dynamics and macro factors are analyzed together, turning raw demand signals into actionable market context.

Greece’s 2025 performance illustrates how this approach changes market analysis. Rather than simply observing that demand is rising, operators, suppliers and investors can now see why it is happening — and which levers are shaping the trajectory of a market in real time.

Initial performance metrics from providers utilizing GR8 Tech’s Crypto Turnkey solution indicate notable enhancements in player conversion and operational efficiency within months of transitioning to cryptocurrency payments.

Operators utilizing Crypto Turnkey are indicating:

● 1.6 times greater conversion for initial and subsequent deposits

● Cost per transaction can be as much as 3 times lower than conventional payment methods.

● Withdrawal processing up to 2.5 times quicker

“The conversion improvements and cost reductions we see would take much longer to achieve through payment optimization alone,” said Denys Parkhomenko, GR8 Tech CPO. “Crypto Turnkey unlocks access to the fastest-growing and highly valuable player demographic in iGaming. When over half of your target audience is already using crypto for investments, offering it as a payment method is a must—numbers prove it.”

The findings confirm the business rationale presented at Crypto Turnkey’s inception: cryptocurrency eliminates reliance on payment providers and draws higher-value participants who deposit larger amounts and wager more often. With settlement finishing within minutes rather than days, operators are experiencing enhanced margins and clearly superior player satisfaction.

Crypto Turnkey is now accessible worldwide and can be implemented as a new option or transitioned from Hyper Turnkey.
