Kwalee is the UK’s most successful private mobile app publisher – ahead of Deliveroo, Tesco, ITV, BT and all gaming competitors – according to App Annie download rankings

Kwalee apps are the top downloaded of any UK-headquartered mobile games publisher, according to the 2021 Top Publisher Rankings published by leading app analytics firm App Annie.

In a top ten ranking of UK-based app publishers based on overall downloads achieved across both the App Store and Google Play in 2020, Kwalee came out as the country’s top mobile games publisher – and far out in front as one of only two gaming companies to appear in the top ten.

Even more impressively, Kwalee actually ranked as the UK’s top private app publisher in all categories, only beaten by the state broadcaster BBC and the National Health Service whose apps include the country’s official COVID-19 contact tracing app.

With its portfolio of free-to-play hyper-casual mobile games, which in late 2020 surpassed the half a billion downloads milestone, Kwalee ranks more highly for downloads than major competitors such as Deliveroo, supermarket chain Tesco and the television broadcaster ITV.

Throughout 2020, Kwalee launched a number of varied hits including Let’s Be Cops 3D (13 million downloads), Teacher Simulator (7.5 million), Bake It (42 million) and Line Up: Draw the Criminal (18 million).

Founded by games industry legend David Darling CBE back in 2011, Kwalee has established itself as a major player in the vibrant UK games industry and employs more than 100 people. The bulk of these are based (under normal circumstances) at Kwalee’s Leamington Spa headquarters, but 2020 saw the firm expand globally with growing teams in Bangalore and Beijing, and even several fully remote positions. Darling has a considerable track record in building successful games companies, having previously co-founded and led Codemasters which was recently acquired by EA for $1.2 billion.

“So proud of the team – Kwalee is bigger than Tesco and ITV! Our outlook is truly global and we strive daily to reach hundreds of millions of players around the world,” said David Darling CBE, Kwalee’s CEO. “It’s an honour to be able to say that we are doing this more effectively than any other UK-based app publisher, not just in the gaming space but across all categories in the private sector.”

“We will continue to work globally, both in terms of the audiences we reach and as we continue to establish our growing teams in India and China, but we are proud to be achieving this as a UK-based company and a member of Britain’s brilliant games industry.”

Players can enjoy 243 ways to win, with medium volatility, an RTP of 95.02, and maximum exposure of x100. The Wild 243 Respin feature frequently triggers wins, adding multipliers of up to x5 to maintain engagement and replayability.

The inclusion of QuickX™ encourages higher bets and appeals to bonus hunters and high-value players, while the game’s mobile-first design ensures smooth play across all devices. These elements combine to offer a straightforward, fast-paced slot that suits a wide range of players.

“243 Zeus Fruits continues our strategy of refreshing proven themes with features that increase both player enjoyment and operator returns,” said Ondrej LapidesCEO at Tom Horn Gaming. “The mix of classic fruit game with a mythological layer provides familiarity with added depth, while QuickX™ is expected to contribute to longer sessions and higher average revenue per user.”

Targeted at markets across Europe and further afield, 243 Zeus Fruits offers strong cross-sell potential, appealing to a broad audience from fans of traditional fruit slots to players drawn to narrative-based titles. Its combination of simplicity, speed, and modern features positions it as a versatile addition to casino lobbies worldwide.

243 Zeus Fruits will be available to operators worldwide from 28 October.

Lisbon’s streets set the pace for Season 2 of GR8 Tech’s Bet It Drives—the drive-time podcast where iGaming’s sharpest voices speak freely, in motion. Hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, Chief Sales Officer at GR8 Tech, Episode 3 spotlights Kyrylo Korobka, Executive Director at Ready to Fight by Oleksandr Usyk, for a candid ride through the intersection of boxing, technology, and business execution.

Korobka leads operations at RTF, the ecosystem co-founded by the heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk on a mission to digitize boxing. Before, he had a career in international corporations and held a CMO role within a major crypto project. He has helped steer large-scale events and partnerships, including the Usyk vs. Dubois blockbuster, while advancing new tech initiatives like a cross-border payments solution and federation partnerships for the next generation of fighters.

During the ride, Kyrylo opens up about:

  • His role as Executive Director of Ready to Fight
  • Co-organizing a major fight for Oleksandr Usyk and overseeing broadcast, marketing, and operations
  • Partnering with boxing federations and the mission to digitize boxing for the next generation
  • His path from international corporations and a crypto CMO role into sports business
  • Why his day-to-day is more “business” than “sport”
  • What it’s like working with a superstar like Usyk and meeting other legendary athletes
  • A standout partnership: Queensberry Promotions (founded by Frank Warren)
  • How his view of iGaming evolved beyond “just casino”
  • Learning from setbacks: treating failures as lessons and not repeating mistakes.
  • His #1 “champion rule”: discipline and consistency at every stage.

“Boxing at the elite level is discipline, preparation, and execution—exactly how winning platforms are built,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “Kyrylo shows how Ready to Fight thinks like a tech company: digitize the sport, empower the community, and move fast with the right partners. That’s the GR8 way: performance first, innovation always.

It’s been almost a year since GR8 Tech started its partnership with Ready to Fight. As RTF’s exclusive Partner in Tech, GR8 Tech brings a scalable, high-performance sportsbook and iGaming platform, top event coverage, smart margin management, and a geo-specific approach, while RTF channels champion-level vision to digitize boxing for fighters and fans. Together, they’re rolling out exclusive sports fashion drops, new features, and digital activations to bring the boxing world closer through great tech.
