With nearly 300 meetings and a spotlight on iGaming innovation, GR8 Tech ends 2024 on a high note, setting the stage for an even brighter 2025. Relevant sportsbook and iGaming platform provider GR8 Tech had wonderful performance at recent SiGMA Europe in Malta. The event proved pivotal for the company, with nearly 300 meetings showcasing robust interest in its offerings. Of these, 15 discussions are already progressing toward long-term agreements, laying the groundwork for expanded partnerships and future business launches. Moreover, the show highlighted the demand for customizable iGaming solutions and GR8 Tech’s impactful presence at the year’s grand finale.
SHARING EXPERTISE: PANEL DISCUSSION TAKEAWAYS
At the Trends and Predictions for 2025 panel, Evgen Belousov, CEO at GR8 Tech, and other industry leaders shared insights into Esports and sportsbooks’ future, spotlighting AI-driven personalization, opinion-based betting, and esports as key disruptors.
The panelists drew a fascinating parallel between sportsbooks and streaming platforms. As competition intensifies, operators are now juggling multiple feed suppliers to deliver exclusive, tailored content. Much like streaming services fighting for exclusive rights, sportsbooks are investing in diverse and unique betting experiences to stand out. Diversification is now becoming essential for staying relevant in the market.
Belousov explored how sportsbooks are evolving from casino add-ons to profitable standalone ventures, redefining their role within the iGaming ecosystem. The panel underscored AI’s transformative impact on player acquisition, gamification, CRM, and risk management, all the areas where GR8 Tech leads the way with practical innovations aimed at increasing operators’ profitability.
Opinion-based betting -wagering on elections or entertainment outcomes- emerged as a rising trend, appealing to younger, tech-savvy players seeking interactive experiences. Esports also increased its role as a game-changer, with younger generations gravitating toward familiar titles like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike over traditional sports.
About the company’s experience at the show, Kiril Nestorovski, Sales Director at GR8 Tech, declared: “What’s really grabbed attention in SiGMA Europe is our openness to discuss and be flexible, but what truly surprises people is the quality of our products. I’ve had clients react with phrases like: ‘Can I touch the screen to see if it’s real?’ when they saw our demos. That kind of response speaks volumes about the impact our products have, especially in the sportsbook area.”
FOCUS FOR 2025: DRIVING INNOVATION
Thinking about the future, Yevhen Krazhan, CBDO at GR8 Tech, said: “As we wrap up 2024, I’m proud to say that GR8 Tech has exceeded expectations, performing at 150% of our initial goals. The demand and interest in our solutions have been overwhelming, and we’re excited to see how the trends of reactivation and investment growth continue into 2025. With strong momentum from events like SiGMA and the upcoming ICE, we are poised for another successful year. Our strategic focus remains clear: leading the charge as a global sportsbook platform. We’re ready for what lies ahead, and we’re confident that 2025 will be another great year for GR8 Tech.”
As the year ends, the partnerships forged at SiGMA Europe 2024 have paved the way for GR8 Tech’s next major event: ICE Barcelona 2025 (January 20-22nd, 2025). Building on this year’s success, GR8 Tech will showcase its cutting-edge solutions and push iGaming boundaries, solidifying its industry leadership. Stay tuned for exciting developments and join the company at ICE 2025!
