Ezugi unveils its new brand identity – contemporary, fresh, and competitive
After almost 10 years in the live casino space, Ezugi has today unveiled its new brand identity. Kfir Kugler, Ezugi CEO, comments on what this means for the company moving forward, and the importance of data and innovation in remaining competitive in the market.
Ezugi has been introducing significant changes and is now ready to reveal its new brand identity. The first step focuses on its visual identity, generating a new logo and slogan to be synonymous with Ezugi’s company values. Ezugi is part of the Evolution Group and was acquired back in 2018. It has increased Evolution’s geographic footprint and helped to accelerate its growth in key markets. For Ezugi, it has meant that streaming quality, speed, and user experience have all been enhanced to the next level.
Known for its bold and agile approach to live gaming, the rebrand is in recognition of the need to always stay contemporary and competitive in the present gambling market. Ezugi’s aim is to highlight its sharpness of vision when it comes to launching fresh ideas – the new slogan ‘Smart Move’ reflects Ezugi’s product portfolio and ethos of providing innovative localised content. It is never about ‘one size fits all’ at Ezugi, but rather about creating sophisticated content with a ‘first-to-market’ mentality.
As a live casino solutions provider, Ezugi has used cutting-edge innovation to become a unique and dominant influence in the market. Since its establishment in 2012, the company has forged a reputation as a significant force in creating best-in-breed localised content. Now operating 12 studios with over 20 different game types and partnering with more than 200 operators spanning the globe, Ezugi understands the needs of clients wishing to enter new territories. It provides key understandings of cultural differences and tailors products to bring a local flavour and ensure success for its operators.
When establishing new territories, Ezugi is committed to compliance and expanding its presence in regulated markets. Its systems have been built to support safe gaming standards and these processes are constantly reviewed to ensure they comply with all regulatory measures. Live gaming is about trust and Ezugi understands that to build a foundation for a successful business and long-lasting partnerships, integrity is key. After pioneering in some regulated markets such as New Jersey and South Africa, as well as a wide footprint in EU regulations like Romania, Belgium, Hungary and Bulgaria as well as Curaçao – Ezugi has also secured several new certifications in the last 18 months including; Italy, Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, IoM, Bulgaria, Colombia, Argentina and MGA (Recognition Notice).
“We have come a long way from where we were almost 10 years ago, when the company was founded. Today, we offer an extensive suite of live casino games and numerous innovative solutions. Our visual identity should reflect all those changes and all the hard work of our creative minds. We have a new ‘smart’ look, but our mission will always remain the same – to give our customers an advantage over the competition through data and innovation,” said Kfir Kugler, CEO of Ezugi.
With its new logo design, Ezugi has capitalised on its always live mentality – 24/7 open tables, 24/7 support, and 24/7 gaming opportunities. Operators will have noticed the addition of a distinctive red streaming live dot. The second and final step of the corporate rebranding will feature a brand-new website and user-orientated customer portal.
“It has always been in Ezugi’s DNA to provide the best service to its customers and their players,” Kugler continues. “With the second-stage branding introduction of a new website and portal, Ezugi clients will benefit hugely from the user-friendly structure and our efforts to create a modern client area to meet their needs,”
More information will be announced as the rebranding efforts continue.

DATA.BET Expands at SiGMA South America 2026
DATA.BET has reinforced its ambitions in Latin America by making a strong return to BiS SiGMA South America 2026, one of the region’s most influential iGaming events.
With a significantly larger presence and an expanded product suite, the company demonstrated a clear evolution from its earlier identity as an esports-centric provider into a comprehensive sportsbook solutions partner.
Held in São Paulo, the event provided the perfect stage for DATA.BET to showcase its full-scale betting ecosystem. The company presented an integrated portfolio that spans traditional sports betting, esports wagering, and virtual sports—positioning itself as a one-stop solution for operators targeting regulated markets, particularly in Brazil.
A key highlight of DATA.BET’s offering is its GLI certification for Brazil. This certification is a major advantage for operators, as it removes the need for additional technical approvals and significantly shortens time-to-market. In a rapidly developing regulatory environment like Brazil’s, this capability gives partners a competitive edge when launching or scaling their betting platforms.
At the exhibition stand, visitors explored several product enhancements designed to improve both operator efficiency and player engagement. Among the updates were revamped Statistical Widgets and the esports-focused Timeline Widget, both aimed at delivering richer real-time insights and more immersive user experiences. The introduction of features such as One-Click Bet and Early Payout further underscores DATA.BET’s commitment to streamlining the betting journey while adding flexibility and excitement for end users.
In addition to officially announced upgrades, the company also teased an upcoming feature currently in development. While details remain under wraps, DATA.BET indicated that this innovation will push engagement standards even higher, reflecting its ongoing investment in next-generation betting technology.
Beyond technology, the company ensured its booth stood out through an engaging and interactive atmosphere. Cosplayers portraying popular League of Legends characters Jinx and Ahri attracted steady attention, reinforcing DATA.BET’s roots in esports culture while bridging the gap to mainstream sports betting audiences. A dynamic kinetic screen added a visual centerpiece, helping to maintain strong visitor engagement throughout the event.
According to Natalie Loshatynska, Head of PR & Marketing at DATA.BET, the company’s return to SiGMA South America marks a significant milestone. She emphasized that the transformation from an esports-focused provider to a full sportsbook ecosystem reflects both strategic growth and a deep commitment to local markets. With expanded coverage, localized certification, and tailored tools, DATA.BET is positioning itself as a leading supplier across key verticals including esports, traditional sports, and virtual betting.
This strategic shift aligns with broader industry trends, as Latin America—particularly Brazil—continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing regulated betting markets globally. By investing in technology, compliance, and localized solutions, DATA.BET aims to empower operators to capitalize on these opportunities while delivering high-quality betting experiences to users.
As competition intensifies in the region, companies that can combine regulatory readiness with innovative product offerings are likely to lead the market. DATA.BET’s performance at BiS SiGMA South America 2026 suggests it is well on its way to becoming a dominant force in the evolving Latin American betting landscape.

GGBET UA and FBU Host “Media Slam”: A Landmark Open Media Event for Ukrainian Basketball
In a historic move for Ukrainian sports, the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU) and title sponsor GGBET UA recently hosted Media Slam in Kyiv. This inaugural open media event served as a high-level forum to analyze the regular season results of the GGBET SuperLeague and the recent performances of Ukraine’s men’s and women’s national teams.
Since becoming the league’s title sponsor in January 2026, GGBET UA has prioritized transparency and engagement. The event highlighted a significant milestone: the return of fans to stadiums despite the ongoing challenges of martial law, signaling a resilient recovery for the domestic game.
Highlights and Recognition
The “Media Slam” wasn’t just about statistics; it was a celebration of the sport’s current momentum:
-
MVP Honors: The regular season’s top five players were officially recognized for their outstanding contributions.
-
Kyiv-Basket Victory: The Ukrainian Cup winners received a formal check in honor of their championship win.
-
Market Discussion: Stakeholders engaged in a candid dialogue regarding the increasing competitiveness of the league.
Sergii Mishchenko, CEO of GGBET UA, commented:
“We didn’t get involved in Ukrainian basketball just to have our logo on a banner. This is a systematic approach. We see the increasing interest in basketball and want to be a part of that growth. The tougher the competition, the stronger Ukrainian basketball becomes.”
A Strategic Expansion
Basketball marks a major pillar in GGBET UA’s diversifying sports portfolio. Following high-profile partnerships with FC Dynamo Kyiv, FC Polissya Zhytomyr, and the Usyk vs. Dubois 2 rematch, the brand is now cementing its status as a cornerstone of the Ukrainian basketball ecosystem.
