EvenBet Gaming Shares First-of-its-Kind iGaming Insights Through the Eyes of Industry Professionals
Deep analysis driven by in-depth research and interviews sheds light on sector’s future
Leading online gaming software developer EvenBet Gaming has released its latest E-book that provides unique insight into existing iGaming trends and challenges, which reveals recruitment as one of the main barriers to growth amongst leading CEOs in the industry.
The research conducted by EvenBet Gaming consisted of over 170 in-depth interviews with European and Asian iGaming professionals including a substantial share of industry CEOs and business development executives across a broad range of verticals and markets.
And while regulation and increased competition inevitably ranked as the most pressing issues for CEOs and founders, recruitment challenges followed next to illustrate the ever-demanding landscape to attract and hire new talent.
Emerging approaches including leveraging HR marketing strategies to showcase workplace culture, career opportunities and unique perks are being embraced by firms when opening new offices and hiring local staff in new markets.
Results from the E-book, entitled Core iGaming Trends and Challenges in 2023, delivers a greater understanding of the most important issues and concerns from the industry, including:
- Over half of respondents emphasised the importance of social media marketing (SMM) as a crucial tool in building brand awareness
- The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in iGaming operations is enhancing efficiency, personalisation and the overall user experience
- Huge growth of ‘crash games’ mirrors a global shift in offering faster experiences for shorter attention spans
- Continued demand for technological advances including new features, mechanics, improved UX and solutions to challenges such as poor Internet connectivity
- Regulation remains the most significant challenge from those surveyed including changes in existing territories and ambiguity within emerging markets leading to uncertainties
The development of the E-book was driven by EvenBet Gaming’s commitment to providing thought-provoking insights on the global iGaming industry. The company aims to share deep analysis to provide operators and beyond with useful information to support their future decisions and investments.
“Conducting in-depth interviews with industry specialists was a strategic decision for EvenBet Gaming,” the Chief Executive Officer for EvenBet Gaming, Dmitry Starostenkov, said. “Recognising the lack of such research in the iGaming sphere, we aimed to get into unexplored territories, seeking raw, authentic insights.
“Our mission was clear; to collect unfiltered data that mirrors the market’s pulse. Through nearly a few hundred interviews, we achieved a level of depth rarely reached before. Core iGaming Trends and Challenges in 2023 underscores our commitment to the comprehensive understanding of the industry.”

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Emerging-markets leader expands its offering with a fresh portfolio from the ascendant Scandinavian studio
QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has maintained the strong momentum in its deal-flow, thanks to its latest integration with Popiplay, an emerging force in high-level slots entertainment.
Integrating content from one of the more innovative and creative online slots providers adds yet more muscle to QTech Games’ burgeoning platform, which is taking the widest range of online games to emerging territories with established names, sitting alongside the industry’s most exciting up-and-coming providers.
Popiplay slot designs are recognised for a more modern approach – being streamer-focused, crypto-ready and high roller-friendly – while also showcasing special features (like Bonus Buy, and Chance 2x and 3x options) that elevate the player experience and deepen engagement. These features are in evidence across an array of popular titles, including new releases such as Fruit Empire and Jellyens X, which eloquently demonstrate Popiplay’s eclectic range of hit slots.
The agreement organically broadens Popiplay’s global scope, targeting emerging markets and creating new revenue streams. As the fastest-growing aggregator over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, retention and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.
Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “We’re excited to add Popiplay to our growing ranks. They are now coupling modern player demands to their existing cutting-edge mechanics, offering global operators varied content with which to captivate and retain the end user. And by combining unique maths modelling, which spans the volatility spectrum, with twists on conventional narratives, these games will foster some truly engaging gameplay for fresh cohorts of QTech players. Indeed, it’s been rewarding to see how Popiplay invariably seek to redefine the existing ecosystem and reimagine more traditional gaming experiences with each play. We look forward to watching how these games perform in regions which, in many cases, break new ground for Popiplay.”
Almir Kudic, CCO of Popiplay, added: “Through this partnership, Popiplay’s portfolio of dynamic slot games has been seamlessly integrated into QTech’s dominant aggregation platform for emerging markets, opening up a new network of partners and players worldwide for us. We can’t wait to see what the reception is. Through our combined commitment to collaboration and innovation, we can continue to work together to tailor the content for truly localised games that drive enhanced engagement and interest across a diverse and ever-changing slots landscape.
“At Popiplay, we firmly believe that our trademark creativity drives innovation. So, we’re committed to raising the bar in the igaming sector and pushing the boundaries of how these games look and feel. And this partnership with QTech constitutes a great opportunity to extend our product distribution across new territories and deliver our games to a range of top-tier partners.”

TaDa Gaming Spins Spellbinding Gaming in 3 Witch’s Lamp
Reading Time: 2 minutes
TaDa Gaming, has added some dark magic to its TriLuck slots series with its five reels, three rows and 50 fixed paylines new game, 3 Witch’s Lamp.
Green, Purple and Blue Potion Pot Scatters can trigger the bonus game’s free spins, five fixed jackpots, ignite coins for wins and increase the bonus prizes.
Spellbooks, rings, candles and Witch Stacked Wilds in the main game reinforce the bewitching theme, while 97% RTP and 3000x max win make the magic irresistible to all levels of players.
Set in the eerie castle tower, three luminous potions bubble away in a riot of colour above the grid. Using TaDa’s ‘three pots’ mechanism to maximum effect, the Green, Purple and Blue Pot Scatters each have unique magic to deliver in the bonus feature and when they combine their power, the magic goes off the scale.
Each pot brings a different bonus: the Blue Potion ‘Win Up’ Pot will ignite a random coin symbol on the board to increase the value with each spin; the Green Potion ‘Award All’ Pot will randomly increase the bonus for all the gold coin symbols on the board; while the high impact Purple ‘Jackpot Reel Up’ Pot will transform into jackpot symbols for Mini (5x), Minor (10x), Major (30x), Grand (100x) and the Witch’s Grand Jackpot of 1000x. Prizes are dynamically based on the triggering bet value.
When the Purple ‘Jackpot Reel Up’ bonus game is triggered, a new screen opens with an expanded 6×5 grid. Only blank positions, Purple Potion Pots and gold coin symbols will appear.
Three further respins are given for each symbol and the relevant jackpot counters light up as each jackpot value is applied. The first jackpot counter to show three lights will pay out. Any other jackpot counter lights will remain in place as the bonus game will continue until there are no more free spins and the jackpots can be won multiple times.
With a supernaturally eerie soundtrack, polished visuals and impressive details, 3 Witch’s Lamp delivers an atmospheric and evocative gaming experience.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “3 Witch’s Lamp is an impressive addition to our very popular triple pots series. We are delighted to deliver this beautiful game supported with immersive mechanics and potentially generous prizes in time for a very happy Halloween for our players.”
