Expanded team to guide delegates through recently launched Game Constructor Tool and new crypto features
Leading online gaming software developer EvenBet Gaming will unveil the newest upgrades to its unrivalled poker offering at ICE London 20223, which incorporate the latest in technology trends that are designed to increase player interactivity and engagement.
At Stand N1-433, EvenBet’s latest range of top-tier features will be on display for delegates to explore, including the company’s recently launched Game Constructor Tool which has already generated strong interest from operators thanks to its customisation capabilities.
The product enables companies to tailor any of the 30+ existing games on EvenBet’s platform to suit their players’ specific preferences with ease. By implementing changes to game elements such as the number of participants involved and cards dealt to the table, discarded, or used in combinations, operators can differentiate their offering with modern alternatives to traditional game formats.
ICE presents the first opportunity for the provider to exhibit its newly designed crypto poker features, which include NFT avatars and objects, its web3 poker capabilities, blockchain technology functionality, and additional concepts that are all designed to elevate the overall user experience in-line with modern trends.
EvenBet arrives at the leading betting and gaming trade event with an extended business development team following a series of senior appointments to support its expansion across Europe and Latin America. This includes Manuel Jimenez, Head of Sales for LatAm, who can discuss the opportunities for online poker in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.
In addition to its product offering on display at Stand N1-433, EvenBet is hosting an industry-focused quiz that will put attendees’ knowledge to the test, with a variety of prizes on offer for those who top the leaderboard.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “This year’s ICE promises to be one of the busiest yet, and it’s the perfect chance for us to introduce our game-changing set of features and concepts that will drive the future of poker engagement across desktop and mobile devices.
“We’ve received great feedback from operators already who recognise the benefits of our Game Constructor Tool in creating a unique offering. We’re also excited to share details of our newest upgrades, which have been influenced by the latest in tech trends as player behaviour habits evolve.”

West Virginia signs up to multistate poker compact

Online poker has been given a fresh lease of life after West Virginia announced it has signed up to the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA).
The move will see West Virginia become the fifth state to agree to the terms of MISGA, and that will enable players to compete against players from other member states.
Before West Virginia’s intervention, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware signed up to the compact created in 2014. The premise of the original agreement was to ensure liquidity could be shared with other states for online gaming.
Joining the MSIGA is seen as a precursor to offering real money poker, and those igaming providers interested in supplying multi-state poker will have to submit a letter of intent to the Lottery. After that, they will have to gain the requisite approval from West Virginia and other member jurisdictions before they can go live.
Indeed, by throwing themselves into the MSIGA framework, West Virginia players could now have a more lucrative gambling experience. Seemingly, players will have access to larger prize pools, and with that, the added advantage of a greater selection of poker games to pick from.
It is also hoped that West Virginia’s entry into the MISGA may also provide impetus for other states that have already given the green light to online poker. Among them is Connecticut which legalized online poker in 2022, but so far, no online poker operators have set up shop in the state.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania is another state that could take inspiration from West Virginia’s move, and the Keystone State legalized online poker six years ago. Were Pennsylvania or Connecticut to follow West Virginia’s lead, then it would supposedly provide a better environment for operators and players alike.
Interestingly, the USA repealed a federal ban on sports betting in 2018. Subsequently, legalizing online poker was forced to take a backseat, as it wasn’t originally considered a priority.
However, the US online poker market appears to be thriving and it has a bright future ahead of itself. Yes, being a part of the MISGA framework is perceived as being a precursor to real money online poker in West Virginia.
In many respects, West Virginia is deemed to be a small online poker market, but it could now bring its near 1.8 million residents into the player pool. While state-approved poker operator options may be limited at the moment, all is not lost as there is another avenue that can be explored, namely offshore sites. You won’t have too much trouble locating a minimum deposit poker site that will accept all US players. For example, BetOnline and Bovada have a proven track record of hosting high-stakes cash tournaments. Usually, players will only need to make a minimum deposit of $10 to play poker, but both sites come with an array of unique features to attract players of all abilities.
As things stand, PokerStars appears to be the most likely operator to bring online poker to West Virginia despite not having unfettered access to the market.
To overcome this barrier, they would need to partner with one of the state’s five land-based casinos, but it is thought they stand a good chance of receiving regulatory clearance. Meanwhile, WSOP faces a similar issue to PokerStars, and they will be on tenterhooks to see if they pass the gaming checks.
The first online casino launched in West Virginia in 2020. While it could be several months before West Virginia formally launches online poker, signing up to MSIGA represents a significant step, and it will be deemed a watershed moment for the proponents of online poker who wish to spread and grow the game throughout the US. This could well be the start of a thrilling ride for poker fans in West Virginia.
