Eyas Gaming Deploys Crucial Business Intelligence from Crucial Compliance
Online Operator of popular MerkurSlots and MerkurCasino brands is using compliance specialist’s Crucial Player Protection system to protect at-risk players
Eyas Gaming, the operator behind popular online casino brands MerkurSlots and MerkurCasino has expanded its services with Crucial Compliance to drive sustainable player value, responsibly.
Eyas Gaming has integrated Crucial Business Intelligence (CBI) into their gaming platforms, a system that provides a Single Customer View, with Advanced Behavioural Segmentation, Predictive Modelling, Marketing Attribution across all channels, Analytics and over 25 Highly Intuitive KPI Reports.
The integration of CBI was two-fold for Eyas. Firstly, into the Bede platform and secondly to calibrate and customise its chosen CRM provider, Adobe Campaign. The integration is going live with an initial 18 separate customer journeys, with another 40 expected to go live as the product portfolio increases.
The predictive modelling covers off 13 key areas ranging from churn prevention through to “Affordability Check Trajectory”, allowing RG teams to prepare players for Source of Funds checks. CBI works in conjunction with Crucial Player Protection to give the best single system an operator can use to provide responsible, sustainable revenues in multiple markets which also minimises player harm.
Andy Masters, COO at Crucial Compliance, said: “We are delighted to have strengthened our partnership with Eyas Gaming and to be providing the operator with our powerful Crucial Business Intelligence system.
“It is the only platform that has been built from the ground up by iGaming professionals for the specific purpose of player management through automated behavioural processes and with a focus on sustainable revenues from players while keeping them in the “fun zone”. The tool is also supported by an experienced training, data and analytical team, helping while Eyas recruit to scale.
“CBI improves the output and efficiency of the operations and CRM team, allowing the Eyas team to focus on strategy rather than running to standstill with lesser or legacy databases. We look forward to working closely with Eyas Gaming in what is a long and successful partnership in the making.”
Joe Goldstein, Head of Financial Planning and Analysis Eyas Gaming, said: “We took a best of breed system in CBI to ensure that the usual barriers to success simply don’t exist. Working hand in hand with the team at Crucial meant not only that we could scale our internal team quickly, but it also meant that we benefitted from expert guidance on the integration and configuration of Adobe into Bede.
“Crucial oversaw this integration so that every aspect of a player’s journey is managed through an almost individual personal communication but with Responsible Gambling communications interlaced through the lifecycle. We want new players but critically we only want them playing within their means and across our entire product portfolio.
“The reports are fully dynamic and they allow us to track every element of the customer lifecycle. They have also developed financial and regulatory reporting solutions for us, which means I have more time to understand the numbers rather than preparing reporting myself.
“Because CBI delivers a single customer view, it means there is one single and absolute truth across the business rather than a marketing, finance and exec view for the same data. As we move into other markets and currencies, the scalable system and team at Crucial gives Eyas complete confidence to accelerate our plans, as we are”.

EveryMatrix has kicked off 2025 with powerful momentum, reporting a standout first quarter of exceptional revenue growth and profitability.
The tier-1 iGaming technology platform supplier delivered a very strong first quarter performance, with net revenue reaching €54 million, up 39% Year-on-Year (YoY), and EBITDA increasing to €28m, up 27% YoY, driven by strong growth from existing clients and innovative product launches.
EBITDA margin reached 52%, making it the eighth consecutive quarter above 50%, as the company continues to scale its platform and casino content technologies while maintaining strong financial discipline.
The last twelve months’ EBITDA reached €107m, up 50% YoY, building on 2024’s milestone achievement of surpassing €100 million in annual EBITDA.
Q1 MILESTONES SIGNAL POWERHOUSE YEAR AHEAD
A highlight of the first quarter was the successful migration of Bet600 – the first full turnkey FSB Technologies customer in the UK – to the EveryMatrix platform. The company aim remains to have all clients fully migrated in 2025 thereby realizing large cost synergies from this key acquisition.
EveryMatrix launched its cutting-edge proprietary Horse Racing solution by combining FSB’s proven knowledge and experience in Horse Racing with the innovation of OddsMatrix development teams. It provides global horse racing coverage with 10k+ monthly events, full system bets offering with bonusing capabilities and configurations and a purpose-built Horse Racing front end with rich Racecard content & live streaming integrations among some of the features.
A landmark deal was signed to deliver a full casino turnkey platform solution to SkyCity Entertainment Group. SkyCity is one of New Zealand’s largest entertainment companies owning five land-based casinos across both NZ and Australia and the online casino brand SkyCitycasino.com. SkyCity migrates from their current provider to EveryMatrix later this year.
SPORTS SURGE AND STRONG CASINO & PLATFORM GROWTH
Q1 2025 saw the company’s sports division deliver exceptional growth, with quarterly sports turnover rising 30% YoY to €1.7b, while GGR climbing 60% YoY to €154m on the back of continued strong trading margins. The last twelve months (LTM) turnover hit €6.3b, reflecting a 48% YoY increase, with GGR rising by 92% YoY to €505m. Part of the growth came from reaching a record number of nearly 600,000 live events, a 24% YoY increase.
Casino experienced the strongest quarterly financial results to date, with net revenue climbing to €28.6m, up 44% YoY, while EBITDA reached €16.8m, up 29% YoY. Casino GGR reached €753m, a 22% YoY increase, with the LTM reaching €2.9b, a 38% YoY increase.
GamMatrix, the company’s Gaming and Player Account Management Platform, experienced a net revenue increase of €8.6m, up 18% YoY, while EBITDA landed at €2.4m, a 23% decrease YoY. The decrease in EBITDA margin is related to a change in internal revenue allocation.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO of EveryMatrix, said: “I’m very excited for 2025. Q1 was a solid quarter, a great start, and the rest of the year looks just as promising. We had a phenomenal year in 2024, which will be hard to beat, but thanks to the momentum we’ve set in motion during the last few years, I’m sure we’ll be able to do it.
“Our sports division never ceases to amaze me, breaking record after record. This quarter, we managed to reach 600,000 live events, all thanks to our ability to expand our coverage and add new products and features even while experiencing this much continuous growth.”
