Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

BETBY, a leading sportsbook supplier, has reported an exceptional start to the year, posting strong Q1 results marked by significant growth in Gross Gaming Revenue (GGR), active bettors across its partner network, and total bets placed. These results reflect the continued evolution of BETBY’s sportsbook solution, the introduction of innovative new products, and strategic partnerships.

Overall sportsbook Gross Gaming Revenue surged by +179% compared to Q1 2024, fueled by the successful launch of new projects and the outstanding performance of key existing clients.

This impressive growth is the result of strategic initiatives led by BETBY’s commercial team, which have substantially expanded the company’s global footprint. During the same period, the number of active players increased by +20% year-on-year, while the total number of bets placed rose by +65%, further highlighting the platform’s growing traction.

In addition to core sportsbook growth, BETBY’s proprietary esports feed, BETBY Games, also delivered robust results, registering a 203% GGR increase resulting from a 37% growth in active players and 64% increase in placed bets. This led to BETBY Games’ share of the supplier’s GGR for Q1 2025 standing at 12%.

Leonid Pertsovskiy, Chief Executive Officer at BETBY said: “These results reflect the strength of our long-term investments in product innovation, team excellence, and strategic partnerships. Our Q1 performance showcases the growing trust our clients have in BETBY and our ability to drive their business growth without ever compromising on quality.”

Evoplay, the award-winning game development studio, has reported a successful first half of 2025 marked by strong commercial growth, continued product expansion and new milestones across key verticals.

In the first half of 2025, the studio launched 19 new titles and saw a 47% rise in player activity compared to the same period last year. Total rounds played increased by 27%, while gross gaming revenue (GGR) grew by 21% and the total bet amount by 24%, reaffirming Evoplay’s status as one of the fastest-expanding suppliers in the iGaming sector.

Evoplay’s innovative output and unique game design continued to earn industry recognition. The studio received the Slots Provider of the Year award at the AffPapa Awards and claimed the Game Design & Art Direction trophy at the SBC Awards Europe, recognised for the groundbreaking title Adrenaline Rush.

Alongside core slots and instant games, Evoplay continued to build momentum in lottery and bingo. The company launched Adrenaline Rush: Scratch, a new approach to digital lottery entertainment, and established new partnerships with state operators, including Loterías Torito in Peru and Azerlotereya in Azerbaijan. All titles were fully localised to comply with lottery regulations and responsible gaming standards, featuring customised game mechanics and content specific to each market.

“Our lottery offering represents a significant milestone in Evoplay’s journey,” said Frank Cecchini, Head of Lottery at Evoplay. “We’ve shown that our games can support lotteries in attracting new audiences and diversifying operators’ portfolio, without undermining the trust and structure of the traditional lottery model.”

In tandem with product development, Evoplay also enhanced its global marketing strategy. The studio launched its Big Adventures Campaign, its most extensive network campaign to date, supported by a €2.5 m prize pool, and continued to enhance the Client Area, a dedicated platform that offers partners easy access to promotional materials and tools.

Another key milestone was the launch of the Affiliate Hub, a resourceful platform that enables media and affiliate partners with release schedules, game sheets, and brand assets.

“Our goal has always been to make life easier for our partners,” said Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay. “From campaign design to delivery, we’re equipping operators and affiliates with the tools they need to get our games in front of the right players at the right time.”

In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, Evoplay also co-developed Uncrossable Rush in partnership with SlotCatalog, a leading industry analytics affiliate platform. The title represents a new blueprint for data-driven development and a closer alignment between supplier and affiliate marketing.

As part of the company’s broader update, Evoplay also announces that Chief Commercial Officer Ihor Zarechnyi will be stepping down. A key member of the team since 2021, Ihor has played a vital role in Evoplay’s global growth and partner expansion and has been crucial in shaping the studio’s commercial strategy.

“We’re incredibly grateful for Ihor’s leadership and the significant contributions he has made over the years,” said Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay. “This marks the start of an exciting new chapter for both Evoplay and Ihor, and we part ways with great respect, pride, and confidence in the future.”

The company also announced several internal promotions, including Vasilena Gekova as Head of Finance. Her appointment follows earlier promotions of Anton Gyria as Director of Business Operations and Olga Pronak as Head of Key Account Management, further demonstrating Evoplay’s commitment to nurturing talent from within as the company continues its growth journey.

Anton Gyria noted: “It’s been a rewarding journey so far, and stepping into a more strategic position allows me to support the business on a wider scale while staying true to the culture that’s made Evoplay what it is.”

These changes reflect the studio’s long-standing commitment to developing and recognising its people, with each promotion resulting from years of consistent contributions and leadership across various departments.

As Evoplay expands its global presence and product verticals, strengthening internal teams and rewarding dedication remains a core focus.

Ivan Kravchuk added: “The first half of 2025 has been a testament to the strength of our vision and the dedication of our team.

“From expanding into new verticals to delivering exceptional content and establishing valuable partnerships, we’ve taken bold steps that continue to shape our journey. We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished so far and remain committed to building momentum in the months ahead.”

PGCB Reports Record Revenue of Nearly $6.4 Billion from Legal Gambling in State Fiscal Year

Published

on

pgcb-reports-record-revenue-of-nearly-$6.4-billion-from-legal-gambling-in-state-fiscal-year

 

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“PGCB”) today reported that revenue generated during the combined Fiscal Year 2024/2025 of gaming it regulates reached a record level of $6,394,641,819.

This figure consists of the combined revenue from casino slot machines and table games, iGaming, sports wagering, video gaming terminals (VGTs) and fantasy sports contests. The amount eclipses the previous high for revenue in a fiscal year of $5,892,516,807 achieved in 2023/2024. Pennsylvania’s Fiscal Year runs from July 1 to June 30.

The resulting tax revenue from the play of these games in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 was $2,797,395,982. That figure eclipses the previous high for tax revenue in a fiscal year achieved during 2023/2024 of approximately $2.54 billion. The estimated amounts for revenue and taxes being reported are prior to any possible adjustments by the PA Department of Revenue.

Tax revenue from the various forms of gaming regulated by the PGCB is returned to Pennsylvanians in a number of ways. These include, but are not limited to:

  • school property tax reduction on an owner’s primary residence;
  • state, county, and local economic development, safety and recreational projects;
  • support of the agricultural industry through support of horse racing; and,
  • revenue toward the Commonwealth’s General Fund.
