IS THE ONLINE CASINO INDUSTRY BENEFITING DURING SPORTS TOURNAMENT DISRUPTION?

Sports betting enthusiasts are spending more time playing casino games and with all the land-based casino lockdowns, the online casino industry should be benefiting the most. Among the verticals that have seen an increased activity is the online poker industry. While live tournaments are being canceled, the poker players are moving online and resurrecting the online poker industry. But, is this the real case?

The experts of the “IS THE ONLINE CASINO INDUSTRY BENEFITING DURING SPORTS TOURNAMENT DISRUPTION PERIOD” panel discussion, which will be moderated by Andrius Gabnys (Attorney At Law – Gabnys Law Firm), is joined by Beyza Orazova (Head of Sales, iGaming at DIMOCO Carrier Billing), Vadim Potapenko (Head of sales at Slotegrator), Dmitry Starostenkov (CEO at Evenbet Gaming – the leading poker platform provider), Jan Urbanec (CEO at Endorphina), Vladimir Malakchi (Chief Business Development Officer at Evoplay Entertainment), and Nadiya Attard (Director of Sales at Relax Gaming).

THE PAYMENTS INDUSTRY DURING COVID-19

Social distancing is keeping people in their homes and with this comes more online spending. The fiat currencies are doing good during this crisis, however, cryptocurrencies are losing their value fast. We will analyze if there are growths in the transaction volumes and how the spend is increasing during this period but also keeping an eye on cybersecurity.

The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Simon Planzer (Partner at PLANZER LAW) and will be joined by Simon Dorsen (Director of Gaming at OKTO – Gaming Fintech solutions), Vytautas Karalevičius (Co-founder at Bankera), Vasilije Lekovic (Director of Gaming at Trustly), Saulius Racevičius (CEO at ConnectPay), Olga Golikova (Head of Billing at Parimatch), and Marc Riedi (Director, paysafecard Switzerland, a Paysafe Company).

WILL ADVERTISEMENT BANNING STILL BE ENFORCED AFTER COVID-19?

While battling against COVID-19, European countries are spending a huge amount of incomes and once the battle is over, the state budget has to be supplemented. Will legislators consider lifting advertisement bans in order to allow operators and affiliates to relaunch their activities and start running the business, while paying taxes.

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.
