A New Star Is Born: Ukraine’s Role in the Future of the CIS and Eastern European Markets

International betting and gaming industry event organizer SBC launches a brand new in-person conference and exhibition for the CIS and Eastern European markets. Presented by Parimatch, SBC Summit CIS brings together regional market leaders, national state authorities, and international partners to discuss the future development of the region.

Holding an event of this magnitude in Kyiv confirms Ukraine is becoming a significant new player on the gambling industry map. On the summit panels, state authorities and business representatives discussed the prospects for the region’s development as a gaming hub for Eastern Europe and the increased interest in the Ukrainian market from global players.

The participation of the Olympic gold medal-winner and First Deputy Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Youth and Sports, Zhan Beleniuk, who opened the summit, served as a powerful reminder of the strong connection between sport, government, and the entertainment industry.

 

Oleksiy Kucher, Head of Executive Body, State Regulatory Agency of Ukraine:

“It’s our firm position that regulation needs to be simple, transparent, and understandable for business. The state approves such a positive goal as the step out from the shadow of the gambling business, but it can fail at the stage of implementation. If we do not regulate relations between clients, businesses, and regulators, gambling may step into the shadows again. We do not want this, and we will not let it happen. Gambling in Ukraine is doing well now, and it will be even more accessible, so keep it up and develop.”

Besides the latest developments in Ukraine, the conference sees renowned expert speakers examine the scale of the opportunities in other markets in the region and the potential impact of the latest technological developments that will filter through into next-generation iGaming products, and how could we forget the region’s leading suppliers who came to demonstrate their latest innovations.

Maksym Liashko, co-CEO at Parimatch Tech, said:

“The legalization of the market has opened up many opportunities for the development of the industry, attracting international capital and benefits for the state. The betting and gaming industry brings innovative technologies, high-tech jobs, and increasing technical expertise among Ukrainian specialists, thanks to the legalization. Proof of this was evident in the showcases presented at the exhibition. And this is just the beginning of Ukraine unleashing its potential.”

Another integral part of the in-person SBC Summit CIS was responsible gambling. The development of responsible gambling became essential in Ukraine to establish a legal market and comply with international industry standards.

Paul Dent, Gambling Therapy Manager:

“Gambling Therapy is very pleased to be working in partnership with Parimatch, the first of its kind in Ukraine to develop and progress more responsible gambling. Through Gambling Therapy, an online and international service offered by Gordon Moody, we will be offering free practical and emotional support to those struggling with gambling as well as supporting affected others. This will take the form of a helpline available in Ukrainian and Russian with access to highly experienced counselors, along with native-speaking groups and forums available 24 hours a day.”

Rostyslav Maikovich, Chief Analytics Officer, leader of the Parimatch’s Responsible Gambling Project:

“Responsible gaming is a significant part of Parimatch’s business development and caring for customers. We take experiences from successful world practices and European countries in this area: Parimatch’s Responsible Gambling Project is being implemented in development, analytics, and communications with clients. For example, the absolute world heavyweight boxing champion and gold medal-winner of the 2012 Olympics, Oleksandr Usyk, joins Parimatch brand as the Responsible Gambling ambassador. Oleksandr helps us to highlight the values of responsible gambling to audiences around the world.”

Meanwhile, established brand Bet442 switches to the Betable platform to enhance its sportsbook offering, providing players with improved performance, expanded market coverage and a seamless betting experience.

The multi-brand rollout marks a significant milestone for Betable as it continues to expand its role as a technology and regulatory infrastructure provider for operators targeting the UK’s highly competitive regulated market.

Charlie Noble, COO at Betable, said: “Launching multiple sportsbook brands on the Betable platform demonstrates the flexibility and scalability of our infrastructure. The UK remains one of the most competitive and tightly regulated betting markets in the world, and we’re proud to support brands like Bet442, Ivy Bet and RightBet as they establish and expand their presence.”

Matices culturales: localización del servicio al cliente para América Latina

matices-culturales:-localizacion-del-servicio-al-cliente-para-america-latina

Por Giuseppe Barbanera, Head of Commercial LATAM en Games Global

En una industria que se enorgullece de su alcance global, es fácil asumir que la escala por sí sola garantiza el éxito.

Pero en iGaming, “global” nunca debería significar uniforme. Los mercados a los que servimos no son intercambiables y en ningún lugar esto es más evidente que en América Latina.

Con demasiada frecuencia, las empresas intentan replicar modelos de atención al cliente europeos o estadounidenses en todas las regiones, asumiendo que la eficiencia y la estandarización se traducirán de forma universal.

En realidad, operar en múltiples regiones no significa necesariamente que el mismo modelo funcione en todas partes.

En la práctica, el éxito depende de qué tan bien se adapten las estrategias a cada mercado.

Una estrategia que funciona eficazmente en Europa o en Estados Unidos puede fracasar en América Latina si no tiene en cuenta los matices culturales y la forma en que las personas prefieren comunicarse y generar confianza.

La verdadera pregunta para nuestra industria no es si podemos operar globalmente, sino si estamos dispuestos a adaptarnos localmente. ¿Estamos preparados para abordar los mercados en sus propios términos?

Si bien el iGaming tiene un alcance internacional, cuando se trata de atención al cliente y gestión de cuentas, no existe una regla universal.

Cada región aporta su propia cultura empresarial y tiene sus propias expectativas.

Comprender esas diferencias es esencial para construir alianzas duraderas. Ignorar esto implica el riesgo de no aprovechar todo el potencial de los mercados de alto crecimiento.

América Latina lo ejemplifica con especial claridad.

La región está creciendo rápidamente y ofrece oportunidades significativas con dinámicas propias y un ritmo de desarrollo particular.

Diferentes regiones requieren diferentes enfoques, y el éxito depende de adoptar una estrategia mucho más práctica y adaptable que refleje las condiciones del mercado local.

Las relaciones y la confianza constituyen la base de los negocios, y los socios valoran el tiempo, la presencia y la consistencia.

La gestión de cuentas no se trata solo de apoyar las operaciones diarias; también implica guiar a los socios a través de cambios regulatorios mientras se adaptan soluciones que reflejen tanto las preferencias culturales como el comportamiento de los jugadores.

Los matices culturales, por lo tanto, desempeñan un papel clave en la construcción de alianzas sólidas. Hablar el mismo idioma y reconocer las costumbres locales ayuda a crear conexiones genuinas.

Estos pequeños pero importantes puntos de contacto transforman las conversaciones comerciales en relaciones personales, lo que a su vez genera confianza y facilita la colaboración, asegurando que las estrategias sean más relevantes y efectivas.

Después de todo, los negocios están hechos por personas, y si tuvieras que elegir un socio, ¿no preferirías a alguien que haya dedicado tiempo a comprender tu cultura y tus valores?

La flexibilidad y la empatía son igualmente importantes.

Aunque las prioridades pueden variar según el mercado, equilibrar la eficiencia con una comunicación y colaboración sólidas es clave en todas partes.

En América Latina, el diálogo y la construcción de relaciones desempeñan un papel especialmente relevante.

Los operadores y socios quieren saber que sus desafíos son comprendidos y que las soluciones ofrecidas reflejan sus necesidades comerciales y están adaptadas al mercado local.

Esto significa que la experiencia técnica no es suficiente.

El verdadero éxito proviene de la conciencia cultural y de la voluntad de adaptar modelos globales a las necesidades locales, en lugar de obligar a los mercados locales a adaptarse a modelos globales.

Tener presencia en el terreno también marca una diferencia tangible.

Los equipos y estudios locales ofrecen una visión directa de las tendencias cambiantes, las regulaciones y las preferencias de los jugadores.

Esta proximidad permite a las empresas responder rápidamente, ya sea lanzando contenido que conecte con audiencias globales, adaptando campañas a celebraciones locales o ayudando a los socios a navegar por requisitos de cumplimiento en evolución.

Combinar escala global con presencia local permite ofrecer un soporte que se percibe como relevante y confiable.

Lo que vemos en América Latina es que la atención al cliente nunca es un modelo único para todos.

Está moldeada por las personas tanto como por los productos.

Al escuchar las perspectivas locales, invertir en relaciones y adoptar los matices culturales, la atención al cliente se convierte en algo más que la resolución de problemas y pasa a ser un motor de crecimiento a largo plazo.

Esa es la diferencia entre ser simplemente otro proveedor y convertirse en un verdadero socio.

La región recompensa a quienes se toman el tiempo de escuchar, adaptarse y conectar, y a medida que América Latina continúa creciendo y madurando, la comprensión cultural seguirá siendo un factor determinante en las colaboraciones más exitosas.
