The technology will be a key part of future-proofing the group’s world-leading customer experiences, and to enable further innovations in product, personalisation, and payments.
LeoVegas Group is investing in a new tech hub in Warsaw, Poland, in order to meet growing demand for technology development as the Group continues to expand globally. In the coming two years, the Group is looking to hire 60 new developers in Warsaw, in addition to ongoing recruitment planned for existing hubs in Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands. The Warsaw tech hub will work in synergy with other developers in the Group to develop its proprietary platform, Rhino – a so-called Player Account Management system (PAM). Rhino is a highly scalable and versatile platform, used for the handling of all player data, payment transactions, payment integrations and games from igaming providers across all of the Group’s brands.
The new tech hub is a key part of the Group’s strategy to remain at the forefront of new technology and innovation in product, personalisation and payments.

Our new hub will kickstart this next phase of development!”.
LeoVegas Group has a proven track-record in spearheading innovation: the Group was the first igaming company to run a cloud-based platform via Google Cloud and the first to launch payments through open-banking solutions. The strong focus on technology is reflected in the balance of its workforce, with one third working in technology and product development. The Group’s services will continue to be unavailable in Poland.

2025 Gaming in Germany Conference
Evaluation of State Gambling Treaty key topic at 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference
Reading Time: 2 minutes
In two weeks, operators, industry analysts, and legal experts will once again gather in Berlin to attend the 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference. This year’s event will take place on Tuesday, November 11.
Key topic: Evaluation of 2021 State Gambling Treaty
The 2021 State Gambling Treaty (GlüStV 2021) is currently being evaluated by the German federal states, with a final report expected next year.
The outcome of this evaluation will determine to what extent Germany’s iGaming regulatory framework will be adjusted to reflect market realities. Already, it appears that certain things the industry has been clamoring for – e.g., easier game certification – will become a reality.
While the industry will certainly not get everything it wants, the direction of regulatory development could be toward improvement.
Willem van Oort, Founder of Gaming in Germany commented: “This year’s Gaming in Germany Conference is where important discussions will take place on which regulatory goals to pursue. Major stakeholders, including operators, trade associations, and the regulator, are all coming. I think this underscores the importance of our event. Moreover, it is the only conference aimed at the German market where both domestic and international stakeholders show up to connect and share insights and information. If you want to help shape the conversation and meet key stakeholders, Berlin is the place to be.”
Breakout program
In addition to high-level regulatory and policy-related information, the 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference also offers highly practical information on topics such as data compliance, game certification, RG, live casino, eSports, and much more. Breakout sessions will be hosted by trained experts and are highly interactive.
Agenda & registration
The 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference takes place at the DoubleTree Hilton Ku’damm in Berlin – just 100 meters from the magnificent Kurfürstendamm.
The event’s agenda – including breakout program – is available here.
Registration for the 2025 Gaming in Germany Conference is now open.
