Operator cites a 15% rise in poker players and average monthly rake up to $60,000 from September 2025 to April 2026.

BoaBet says it grew poker revenue by 150% after joining WePlay Network, powered by EvenBet Gaming, with the companies highlighting the results at NEXT Summit Valletta 2026.

EvenBet Gaming said the BoaBet performance adds to wider network results to date, claiming a 134% increase in player activity and 63% average revenue growth across the WePlay network.

From September 2025 to April 2026, BoaBet’s poker player base increased by 15%, cash game traffic rose by 30%, and active tables climbed from around 950 to 1,250, according to the release. Average monthly rake grew from $38,000 in the first three months of the partnership to $60,000 in the most recent three-month period, with March 2026 reaching approximately $78,000.

BoaBet described poker as a feeder vertical for its casino business, with WePlay providing access to network liquidity. EvenBet said its platform supported the rollout with features including automated rakeback, flexible tournament mechanics, and game ecology management, while WePlay provided operational, player support and anti-fraud teams.

Antonio La Vigna, Head of Poker at BoaBet, said: “Integrating poker was a strategic decision for us, but our main concern was the operational complexity of the vertical. Partnering with WePlay and leveraging EvenBet Gaming’s powerful, configurable platform completely eliminated that burden. The combination of EvenBet’s advanced software infrastructure and WePlay’s operational expertise allowed us to scale poker revenue by 150% while keeping our internal teams fully focused on our core casino business. This proves that with the right technology and network partner, poker can drive outstanding growth without expanding operational overhead.”

Gasper Janezic, CEO at WePlay, said: “Poker has a reputation for being operationally intensive, and that reputation puts a lot of casino operators off. BoaBet’s results demonstrate that with the right network structure in place, that barrier largely disappears. Our focus has always been on building an environment where operators can grow poker sustainably and where recreational players actually want to stay.” Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, added: “These results reinforce what we have seen across the WePlay network more broadly – that the combination of robust technology, managed liquidity, and operational expertise creates the conditions for consistent, long-term growth. We are proud to see that model delivering for operators of BoaBet’s profile, and we look forward to continuing to build on it together.”

GGPoker is bringing back its $1M Go for Gold promotion for Spin & Gold players starting June 12, with $1,000,000 in additional prizes available while supplies last, the operator said.

The promotion applies to all 3-Max and 6-Max Spin & Gold tournaments. At the start of each tournament, the prize multiplier wheel determines that game’s prize pool. Players then earn a “stamp” for each different multiplier they hit, with 3-Max and 6-Max stamps treated as interchangeable equivalents.

A player becomes eligible for an instant cash prize after collecting five different multiplier stamps, with prizes worth up to $10,000 per completed card, according to GGPoker. After opening a prize, players can begin collecting a new set of stamps 24 hours after the moment they collected the first stamp of the previous run.

“Spin & Gold games are already some of the most exciting formats we offer, but our $1M Go for Gold promotion turns the dial up to eleven,” said Paul Burke, Head of Public Relations at GGPoker. “Our community loved this promotion last year, and we couldn’t wait to bring it back. We’re thrilled to give our players another chance to turn spins into up to $10,000 in extra cash, simply by hitting the multipliers!”

GGPoker has also linked the promotion to its broader $14M June Giveaway, with full terms and conditions available on the operator’s promotional page.
