Navigating New Frontiers: Relax Gaming’s Approach to Growth & Market Expansion

HIPTHER, organiser of the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, is proud to present Relax Gaming, the Summit’s Delegates Bag Sponsor and a key player in the iGaming industry. In this exclusive interview, we speak with Cliona Griffin, Business Development Manager, Casino at Relax Gaming, to explore their approach to market expansion, transparent competitive strategies, and what to expect from their presence at the Summit.


Relax Gaming has built a strong reputation as a premium aggregator and supplier in the iGaming space. How does your approach to business development ensure that Relax Gaming stays ahead in an increasingly competitive market?

We’re always focused on being one of the industry’s most innovative providers, both in terms of the content we produce and the platform we offer. By constantly evolving our products and maintaining a strong commercial framework, we ensure that Relax Gaming remains a key player in the market.

Our competitive and fair commercial approach has been instrumental in strengthening our presence in existing markets while also enabling smooth entry into new ones. It’s all about staying agile and forward-thinking to ensure our partners get the best possible experience when working with us.


A competitive yet transparent commercial structure is a core focus for Relax Gaming. How do you strike the right balance between offering competitive deals while maintaining transparency with partners and operators?

I think both fairness and transparency are key to building long-term relationships with our partners. That’s why we apply the same commercial structure across the board in each market, ensuring that every partner has a clear and equal opportunity to succeed.

This approach not only makes our offering competitive, but it also gives our partners confidence in knowing they’re working with a provider that values consistency and openness. By keeping things straightforward and fair, we create a commercial environment that benefits operators.


With new markets constantly evolving, what key factors influence Relax Gaming’s decision-making when entering and expanding into emerging markets? Are there any specific regions that are currently on your radar?

When looking at new markets, we take a strategic and measured approach to ensure that any expansion aligns with our business objectives asl well as the needs of our partners.

One of the biggest factors we consider is regulatory complexity. Each market comes with its own set of rules, and we need to ensure that we can operate efficiently while fully complying with local requirements. Beyond compliance, we assess the potential return on investment, evaluating market size, player demand, and long-term sustainability to determine whether it’s the right fit for Relax Gaming and our network of operators.

Right now, we’re actively monitoring several European markets that show strong growth potential. However, our primary focus for H1 this year is expanding our presence in the US. The region presents exciting opportunities, and we’re working to establish a solid foothold by leveraging our expertise and proven content portfolio to meet the needs of operators and players in this market.


Given the dynamic nature of the industry, how does Relax Gaming adapt its offerings to support both new and existing operators in maximising their revenues?

We take a very hands-on approach when it comes to supporting our partners. Our Account Management team works closely with operators to help them maximise revenue by tailoring strategies to suit their needs. Whether it’s optimising game performance or identifying new opportunities, we’re always looking for ways to add value.

On the content side, we’re also moving towards a more bespoke approach, adapting our offering to fit the demands of different markets and player preferences. This flexibility allows us to continue delivering high-quality, relevant content that keeps engagement levels high.


As a speaker at the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit, what key insights will you be sharing with the audience? And what makes this event an essential platform for discussing the future of iGaming?

I’m looking forward to sharing how Relax Gaming approaches market expansion, focusing on how we assess new opportunities, navigate regulatory challenges, and use our aggregation model to drive growth.

I’ll also highlight the importance of localisation and how we tailor our content to different markets while supporting operators with the tools they need to maximise engagement. With the industry evolving rapidly, staying ahead of trends is key, and I’ll touch on the innovations shaping the future of iGaming.

Events like this are a great chance to connect, exchange ideas, and gain insights into what’s next for the industry, making it an essential platform for discussion and collaboration.

With Relax Gaming bringing its expertise to the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit 2025, this year’s event promises invaluable insights into the future of iGaming and technology. Don’t miss the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, gain exclusive market perspectives, and be part of the most dynamic gathering in the CEE region!
