EGT is proud to announce that it is an official partner of the “Gaming Industry Gala Dinner”, organized by the Association of Organizers of Gambling Games and Activities in Bulgaria (AOGGAB) with the support of EUROMAT. The event will be held on November 25 and for the third consecutive year will bring together leading companies and figures from Bulgaria and abroad.

The motto of the gala dinner will be “Together in Europe” and will focus on European integration, professional collaboration, and a shared vision for a sustainable future of the industry.

Traditionally, the “Golden Spade’s” Awards will also be presented during the event. The prizes honor the greatest innovations and the most significant achievements in the sector over the past 12 months. EGT is among the finalists in the competition and will compete for the accolade in the “Most Successful Bulgarian Company Abroad of the Year” and “Slot Machine of the Year” categories.

EGT received the nomination for “Most Successful Bulgarian Company Abroad of the Year” as it is the biggest gaming equipment manufacturer in Bulgaria with 28 international offices on 5 continents. In 2025, it made a large number of installations and substantially increased its footprint in a number of markets. Currently, EGT’s products are present in over 100 jurisdictions around the world.

The company is also a contender for the “Slot Machine of the Year” award. It was shortlisted because of its latest series of slot cabinets Supreme, including 4 models – S 32-32 UP, S 32-32 ST, S 55 S ST, and S 55 V ST. They immediately received high praise from both operators and players for the perfect combination of attractive design, exceptional convenience provided by their numerous ergonomic features, and compatibility with some of the most popular and beloved games from EGT’s portfolio. Supreme slot cabinets have already been installed in a number of gaming venues globally, where they continue to demonstrate excellent results and remain among customers’ favorites.

Coolbet is proud to announce a renewed donation to BetBlocker, a leading responsible gaming charity offering free access-control tools to players worldwide. This marks the second time Coolbet has supported the organisation’s mission to help individuals manage their gambling habits and play responsibly.

Two years ago, Coolbet’s contribution and volunteer efforts enabled BetBlocker to launch its app and website in Spanish, expanding accessibility to millions of users across Latin America and other Spanish-speaking regions. The renewed donation underlines Coolbet’s ongoing commitment to ensuring such vital tools remain free and available to all.

“Responsible gaming has always been a cornerstone of who we are,” said Fjodor Rauten, Responsible Gaming Manager at Coolbet. “We strongly believe that tools like BetBlocker must remain free for anyone who needs them. By supporting BetBlocker again, we’re helping ensure that players everywhere have access to the help they might need, without barriers.”

BetBlocker’s free software allows users to self-restrict access to online gambling sites and apps for periods of their choice. Its unique Scheduler feature enables users to block access during moments of increased vulnerability, such as weekends, holidays, or paydays.

Coolbet’s renewed donation will help BetBlocker continue expanding its reach, maintaining multilingual support, and improving its technology for global users. The partnership aligns closely with Coolbet’s guiding principle: “Stay Cool. Bet Responsibly.”

“Last week, BetBlocker passed a quarter of a million active users in 2025,” said Duncan Garvie, Founder and Trustee of BetBlocker. “That is an astronomical level of uptake. We couldn’t deliver support to so many people, all over the world, without socially conscientious operators like Coolbet. Their ongoing contribution demonstrates genuine commitment to player protection and ensures that essential tools remain accessible to those who need them most.”

Coolbet first partnered with BetBlocker in 2023, contributing financially and through staff-led volunteer translations that made the service available in Spanish. The collaboration has since been recognised as a milestone in responsible gaming accessibility for Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide.

The company continues to drive revenue across the esports vertical

DATA.BET, a trusted sportsbook solution supplier, reports a significant increase in esports betting performance in the third quarter of 2025. The results demonstrate sustained market demand, disciplined trading operations, and growing player engagement across partner platforms, leading to revenue growth and commercial performance for DATA.BET.

In the third quarter of 2025, esports delivered strong results across all major performance indicators. Compared to Q3 2024, the stake volume improved by 60%, while total profit grew by 79%, supported by a 12% improvement in margin efficiency. Player activity also strengthened, with the total number of placed bets up by 33%, and multiples seeing a rise of 53%. The active player base expanded by 126%, and the average bet size increased by 22%, indicating higher confidence and deeper involvement from users.

Across major esports titles, performance dynamics show how player preferences and event availability shaped the quarter. CS2 maintained its position as the leading discipline, with results including a 26.7% uplift in turnover and a 55% growth in profit, while the number of bets grew moderately by 2.5%. League of Legends demonstrated significant momentum, moving from the fourth to the second most popular discipline, overtaking Dota 2. Turnover increased by 290%, profit by 416%, and the number of bets by 221%. Rainbow Six also strengthened its position within the top five disciplines due to broader coverage and regional expansion across LatAm, leading to a 126% enhance in turnover, a 504% jump in profit, a 12.4% rise in bets placed, and a 100% expansion in match coverage.

According to Bohdan Holovnov, Head of Esports at DATA.BET, this performance is linked to deliberate product and trading enhancements aligned with player behavior: “We focused on improving uptime for the most popular in-play markets, including ‘Map – Total Kills’, ‘Map – Duration’,  ‘Map – Winner’, and ‘Player – Total Deaths‘, especially in late-game phases where engagement peaks. This applies to both shooters and MOBA titles.  Additionally, interval-based kill markets were introduced in League of Legends and Dota 2, enabling more frequent and dynamic betting opportunities. Another major driver was the expansion of Player Props across all top-tier disciplines, including CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, and Valorant, in both pre-match and live formats. In shooters, ‘Total Deaths’ became a standout exclusive market, while official data coverage allowed us to expand Player Props across all tiers as well. This combination boosts both activity and margin efficiency across our clients.”

This upward movement is not only reflected year over year, but also quarter-to-quarter growth, with a profit percentage up by 13% compared to Q2 2025. This consistency highlights both sustained user interest and the stability of DATA.BET’s esports offering, even after expanding into sports betting in June 2025.

Bohdan Holovnov, the Head of Esports, mentioned: “Esports has proven its strength and reliability as a betting vertical. Quarter after quarter, we see steady engagement, growing turnover, and tangible revenue impact for operators. We’re pleased with the performance and even more excited about the momentum ahead, and we are scaling it together with our partners.”
