The company is also growing its leadership team, hiring ex-King marketing executive Richard Hocking as Chief Marketing Officer and ex-Google and King executive Anju Sethi as Chief People Officer to accelerate its remarkable growth.
The opening of the London office comes at an exciting time in the company’s journey. Founded just three years ago, Dream Games’ first release Royal Match has built a loyal and dedicated fanbase of millions around the world, consistently ranking as a top 3 grossing game in the US and UK. Dream Games has quickly become one of the most valuable private mobile gaming companies globally, with a $2.75 billion valuation.
Soner Aydemir, Co-founder and CEO of Dream Games, said: “As a company, we have ambitious growth plans, and the opening of our London office marks the next phase in this journey. Our goal is to expand our international footprint and reach the best talent in the industry to become one of the best entertainment companies in the world. London is Europe’s leading creative hub with a vibrant entertainment community, home to top-tier talent and some of our most important partners, so we’re excited to have a new base here.
“We’re also delighted to welcome Richard and Anju, both excellent and significant new hires for Dream Games, as we focus on growing our dynamic organization in London and Istanbul. They bring exceptional knowledge and expertise to the team with their significant experience in gaming and technology sectors.”
Richard joins from King, where he was the Global Head of Marketing, overseeing the global marketing organisation, including the growth and marketing communications teams. Prior to that, he spent 12 years at Starcom, where he built and scaled Starcom Mediavest’s Performance Marketing team.
“It’s a privilege to be joining Dream Games at such an exciting time. I’ve long had admiration for the quality of Royal Match and how the team has managed to evolve the puzzle genre. Their commitment to creating premium player experiences with enduring appeal speaks to why Royal Match has grown so quickly and become a top mobile game globally,” said Richard Hocking, CMO at Dream Games.
Anju arrives at Dream Games after 20 years of running people organisations across Gaming, Tech and other industries. She is known to drive people strategies and employee experiences at companies like King, Google, Tesco, etc.
“I am thrilled to join Dream Games as Chief People Officer on its incredible journey in the world of entertainment,” Anju said.
“At Dream Games, we know that our people are our biggest strength, and we are proud of the creative, purposeful, and trusting environment we created for them. We want to elevate and nurture our talent so they can reach their highest potential. I am inspired by this vision and feel privileged to be able to contribute to it.”
Minister of State at the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport for UK, Julia Lopez, said: “A thriving creative sector is synonymous with the UK. Our success in film, television, music, and gaming, is fuelled by professionals who constantly push the envelope. We are already home to countless leaders in their creative fields, and Dream Games now joins their impressive ranks to further underline the truly global pull of our creative industries.”

Paysecure brings Gibraltar’s iGaming payments community together for exclusive industry event
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Paysecure, a leading provider of payment orchestration solutions for the iGaming industry, successfully hosted its exclusive event Securing Faster Payments in iGaming aboard the Sunborn Hotel in Gibraltar on 16th October.
The evening brought together senior figures from operators, technology providers, and payment networks to explore the evolution of faster, more secure payment experiences in iGaming, and what lies ahead for the sector.
With speakers from Worldpay, Mastercard, DAZN, Pretty Technical, and Paysecure, discussions centred around balancing player experience, security, and compliance in a rapidly changing landscape.
Across keynote talks and a healthy panel debate, speakers explored how technology, data, and collaboration are reshaping the future of payments in iGaming.
A recurring theme was the tension between speed and security, and how advances such as network tokenisation and smarter orchestration are allowing operators to achieve both. Attendees heard how network tokens are improving authorisation rates and trust, while also fuelling new payment experiences, such as click-to-pay, which in turn reduces cashier friction and provides a seamless player journey.
The discussion also delved into how player-centric design, behavioural analytics and the latest technological innovations are transforming the deposit journey. With more than 30% of players abandoning deposits due to checkout friction, speakers shared insights on how to define and build dynamic payment experiences, utilizing customer segmentation, intelligent routing, and rich data-insights; and further reflected on the importance of ecosystem connectivity for pushing the industry forward.
It is clear from the discussions that payments are no longer a utility, but a point of competitive advantage for operators. Payments remain a pivotal conversion moment, and a lot hinges on the experience, with players expecting to pay quickly and efficiently how, when and where they want.
Paysecure’s Chief Commercial Officer and Co-Founder, Viktoriia Degtiarova, emphasised the importance of collaboration in raising industry standards: “The Paysecure Payment Professionals event really highlighted how critical payments are to operator success. In today’s fast-moving iGaming landscape, continual innovation in payment solutions isn’t optional, it’s essential. Success relies on collaboration across the entire ecosystem, from operators and PSPs to regulators and technology partners, ensuring seamless experiences for players while driving growth for all stakeholders.”
Farish Lakhani, Corporate Sales Director at Worldpay Global SMB further shared, “Thank you to Paysecure for hosting such a well-organised event in Gibraltar and for inviting us to be part of the conversation. It was a great opportunity to share insights and collaborate on shaping the future of payments in iGaming”.
Following the success of the Gibraltar event, Paysecure Payment Professionals – The iGaming Edition will continue across other key iGaming hubs in 2026, building on the discussions and relationships formed at this inaugural event.
