DSTGAMING and Digital Marketer John Tan, join us ahead of the European Gaming Congress 2025.

DSTGAMING brings over a decade of expertise in delivering advanced iGaming solutions, and will be supporting this year’s European Gaming Congress as Lanyards Sponsor. Known for its white-label and turnkey casino platforms, custom game development, powerful aggregation, and secure payment solutions, DSTGAMING empowers operators to launch, scale, and succeed with confidence in today’s competitive landscape.

John, DSTGAMING has built a reputation as a trusted iGaming solutions provider. From your perspective, what makes the company stand out in such a crowded industry?

DSTGAMING stands out by combining over a decade of industry expertise with a truly end-to-end portfolio. While many providers specialize in a single area, DSTGAMING integrates platform solutions, aggregation, payment systems, and bespoke development under one umbrella. This holistic approach ensures that operators not only gain access to advanced technology but also benefit from a partner that understands scalability, compliance, and market dynamics across regions.

Many providers offer white label and turnkey solutions. How does DSTGAMING approach these models differently, and how do you see operators deciding which is the right path for them?

DSTGAMING approaches both models with flexibility and operator growth in mind. White-label solutions are designed for newcomers seeking a fast and cost-effective market entry, complete with licensing and operational support. Turnkey solutions, on the other hand, cater to established operators who want greater control over branding, customization, and scalability. By clearly defining the strengths of each pathway, DSTGAMING helps operators choose the model that aligns with their resources, goals, and long-term strategy.

With over 10,000 games integrated from 100+ providers, your aggregator is one of the strongest in the market. How does this scale benefit operators and players alike?

For operators, this scale reduces integration complexity and ensures they can meet diverse player preferences with a single API. For players, it translates into variety and choice, whether they are looking for classic slots, live dealer tables, or innovative new mechanics. The sheer depth and diversity of the portfolio allows operators to maximize engagement and retention while staying competitive in multiple markets.

Beyond ready-made solutions, DSTGAMING also offers custom game development. Could you share how bespoke development enhances brand identity and player engagement for your clients?

Custom development enables operators to stand out in a marketplace where many platforms look similar. By creating games that reflect a brand’s theme, culture, or promotional goals, DSTGAMING helps operators deliver a unique experience that strengthens brand recognition and loyalty. Bespoke games also give operators the opportunity to innovate around player preferences, building stronger engagement through originality.

Secure, seamless payments are vital to iGaming. What are the biggest challenges DSTGAMING solves for operators when it comes to multi-currency and crypto transactions?

Operators often face fragmented payment channels, regulatory complexities, and cross-border transaction hurdles. DSTGAMING addresses these by offering a unified payment gateway that supports multiple fiat currencies and leading cryptocurrencies. The focus is on ensuring fast, reliable, and compliant transactions that reduce player friction while safeguarding operators from risk.

Gamification has become a buzzword in the industry. How do DSTGAMING’s gamification tools, like loyalty programs, mini-games, and missions, translate into measurable retention results?

Gamification tools are built to extend the player lifecycle and drive consistent engagement. Loyalty programs reward repeat activity, missions add a layer of progression, and mini-games offer instant entertainment. Together, these elements encourage players to stay active longer, return more frequently, and increase their lifetime value. The measurable impact for operators is higher retention rates, stronger brand stickiness, and improved revenue sustainability.

Looking ahead, what trends in iGaming solutions excite you most, and how is DSTGAMING preparing to stay ahead of the curve?

Key trends include the rise of localized content, the growing role of cryptocurrencies and blockchain in payments, and the increasing demand for AI-driven personalization. DSTGAMING is actively investing in these areas by expanding its crypto solutions, enhancing data-driven tools for player engagement, and building stronger localization capabilities. The company’s strategy is to anticipate shifts in player behavior and regulation, ensuring operators can adapt quickly and capture new opportunities.

Thank you, John, for sharing DSTGAMING’s perspective on building scalable, innovative iGaming platforms that empower operators worldwide!

GR8 Tech landed heavyweight wins on all fronts at SBC Summit 2025, taking home the prestigious Platform Provider of the Year award and drawing record-breaking crowds with its Heavyweight Club activation with Ready to Fight, which brought undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk to the summit floor.

Heavyweight Presence: Super Stage Panel and iGaming Influencers at GR8 Tech Booth

On the Super Stage, GR8 Tech and Ready to Fight held “The Heavyweight Playbook: Building Businesses That Perform When It Matters Most” panel discussion. Oleksandr Usyk opened up about discipline and trust in his team, while Kyrylo Korobka, Executive Director at Ready to Fight, emphasized the importance of data-driven preparation. Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech, showed how the same principles apply to iGaming, where platforms must perform flawlessly under pressure.

“Whether it’s preparing for a championship fight or building an iGaming platform, excellence comes from systematic discipline, not just talent,” Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech, said during the discussion.

Following the panel discussion, the punch machine challenge at GR8 Tech’s stand brought together influential industry leaders, creating one of the most talked-about activations of the entire Summit.

GR8 Tech’s CEO Oleksandr Feshchenko claimed the top score and Usyk’s signed gloves. However, given GR8 Tech’s partnership with Ready to Fight, the prize was never meant to stay in-house—instead going to the next highest scorer, Rasmus Sojmark, CEO and Founder of SBC Gaming, capturing the core of the Heavyweight Club philosophy: champions create champions.

Usyk’s appearance drew massive attention, driving a fivefold increase in traffic to the GR8 Tech stand—igniting new sales opportunities and sparking a surge of meaningful engagement with prospects and partners.

Platform for Champions: GR8 Tech Named Platform Provider of the Year

“The Heavyweight Club is built on performance, not promises. At SBC Summit, we showed that operators with the ambition to lead will find in GR8 Tech a partner that pushes them further, faster, and stronger—and winning Platform Provider of the Year proves it,” Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech, summed up.
