EveryMatrix: Proving ‘everything is possible’

EveryMatrix: Proving ‘everything is possible’ Reading Time: 4 minutes

EveryMatrix reached an important milestone. It’s moving on from its white label and B2C origins to focus on what it does best: software provision. Ebbe Groes talks about this direction, albeit with a hint of nostalgia for what set the company apart in its formative years. Closing the chapter on what were “exciting” times and ventures, Groes is honed into the company’s new drive forward and keen to get competing in the sports space while delivering specialised solutions for iGaming as he talks candidly about the changes and the challenges ahead.

At the halfway mark of 2019, EveryMatrix CEO Ebbe Groes can safely say it’s been “a good year so far”. Over the last 6 months, the company focused on bringing onboard big names in the industry and will continue to do so. In the next few months, the software provider expects to announce yet another signing – this time, that of a very large Tier- 1 operator. “The biggest one yet on our platform”, according to Groes. However, 2019 hasn’t just been about the development of new business for EveryMatrix; it’s also been about letting go of the old.

“At the end of May, we announced the selling of our B2C operation, the Jetbull brand. We held it for a long time, almost from the start of the company, and it was time to find another home for it,” explained Groes. “And this is not the only thing we’re letting go. We are currently in negotiations to close down the white label business. Moving forward, we aim to fully concentrate on being a software provider. In the last years, we have changed our business model, meaning we have left the start-up white label space. Our entire focus is now on signing large and established operators by selling specialised products rather than turnkey solutions.”

As every online casino operator knows, the B2C market is extremely competitive. Players don’t necessarily know what they are looking for when searching for online casinos, so operators need a strong brand to be able to stand out from the crowd. On top of that, they have to navigate changing regulations and ensure their back-end lines up with licencing stipulations across numerous jurisdictions, all while maintaining a strong customer service at the frontend. All in all, it can be both hard work and an excellent opportunity, but with Every- Matrix looking to be the best software provider in the industry, the company made the decision to focus all its energy on serving its B2B clients.
“We’ve been in those [white label] areas for a while and it has served us well, but we are now in a position, which is a bit of a luxury, where we can decline this kind of business and instead work with other companies that are in that space,” continued Groes. “We can focus on being a pure software provider. This of course, still means licensing, but only as a software provider and not having operator licenses.”

Indeed, for leaving B2C in the past, EveryMatrix is free to focus on building its future. This year, that future is OddsMatrix, the company’s sports betting solution. Starting with a fully managed sportsbook, EveryMatrix added more elements to its business, brick by brick; the platform, the casino products, the payment applications, all built from scratch to ensure EveryMatrix delivers specialised and competitive products. They now rebuilt the original OddsMatrix from scratch, going back to their origins.

“This gives us the ability to finally compete properly in the sports space. The first wave is migration of all clients before the start of the new football season. This sports product is sold both as a turnkey solution and as a stand-alone product. One of the many things we did was integrate it in the same way as our casino. This makes it quite easy for our clients and any of our casino clients can take this product, it has the same API managed by us.” As well as physical sports, EveryMatrix sees a huge opportunity in the world of esports. Launching its new esports service earlier this year, the software provider has utilised the back-end of its newly rebuilt OddsMatrix product to successfully create 150 new markets in the sector – and it already has clients taking it live.

“This wouldn’t have been possible in the old system, especially in such a short time. When we’re out showing this product, we receive a lot of good feedback on this because of its depth of information. It’s nice to have an esports product to be proud of, but for me it’s been most rewarding to see how we delivered a proven concept in a completely new area to us,” added Groes. “We’ve been able to create all those markets, including automatic settlement, and everything you want in a modern sportsbook. It’s a product that really stands out for us. Luckbox is the first live client for esports, now in the public BETA stage and looking to move forward. Also, they are one of the first clients to build their front-end on the back of our sportsbook. Giving them enough flexibility has been critical. Bookee, the sports betting mobile app with a Tinder look and feel, is the other operator to be live with their own front-end on our sportsbook.”

Another excellent opportunity for EveryMatrix is in the casino business. The company developed CasinoEngine from scratch, a top casino integration and productivity platform and the largest casino content library in the industry. This solution is helping clients entering new regulated markets by handling regulatory aspects and by delivering country-specific content.

“CasinoEngine helps clients to be technically compliant. Let’s take Reality Check, the vital UK requirement which costs a lot of people a lot of money and time. If you do this as part of the casino application, which is something we can do, then you can plug this into your own platform and then be compliant for the casino part.” The prevailing philosophy that makes all this possible? Adaptability. With a slogan like ‘Everything is possible’, EveryMatrix must expand the boundaries of feasibility for its clients, opening doors – and in some cases breaking down walls – to ensure their clients have the freedom to get creative.

“The key for us as a B2B software provider is to help our clients reach their potential and unleash bold ideas,” concluded Groes. “We do not impose rigid frameworks on our clients, we listen to their needs and adapt our offering accordingly.”

From ‘Mummyverse’ to Crash Games: Belatra Reviews a Landmark 2025

Published

5 days ago

December 23, 2025

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: Belatra has been a steady hand in the slots world for a long time, but 2025 marked a distinct shift in strategy. By entering the Crash vertical with Goose Boom Bang and winning big at SiGMA Africa, the studio is clearly pivoting to capture the high-growth, high-frequency players in emerging markets. They are no longer just a “classic slots” developer; they are diversifying the portfolio to ensure relevance in regions like LatAm and Africa.

The Full Story

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has issued a strategic review of its 2025 operations, celebrating a 12-month period defined by entry into new game verticals, significant franchise expansion, and high-profile industry recognition.

The year was characterized by a dual strategy: deepening engagement in established markets while aggressively expanding its content portfolio to suit local preferences in emerging territories.

Portfolio Evolution: Crash and Battles 2025 saw Belatra move beyond its traditional slot roots. The company made its debut in the high-demand Crash game vertical with the launch of Goose Boom Bang, a title designed to tap into the fast-paced gameplay preference of younger demographics.

Additionally, the studio introduced a fresh game concept with the launch of Battles, a new format unveiled for the first time in 2025, with further development planned for 2026.

The ‘Mummyverse’ Expands For fans of classic slots, the highlight of the year was the aggressive expansion of the Mummyverse. Belatra nearly doubled the size of this franchise over the year, making it the most extensive game universe in their entire catalog.

The developer also focused on B2B localization, releasing a number of exclusive bespoke games created specifically for selected operator partners to meet specific local market tastes.

Awards and Recognition The company’s strategic shifts were validated by industry accolades. Belatra secured over 30 nominations throughout the year, with standout wins including:

Best Slot Provider (awarded by BitStarz).
Most Played Game of 2025 for Make It Gold at the SiGMA Africa Awards.
Player’s Pick Award.

Management Commentary Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented on the studio’s momentum:

“This year has truly defined who we are as a studio – ambitious, creative and focused on building long-term partnerships. We’ve expanded our universes, launched new ones and entered exciting new markets that will all help us carry this momentum into the New Year.”

‘Chaos and Soul’: Ebaka Games Plots Global Expansion After Viral Launch

Published

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: The “Instant Game” vertical (Crash, Plinko, Mines) is becoming crowded, but Ebaka Games is cutting through the noise with a distinct brand personality. By securing BMM Testlabs certification so quickly after launch, they are signaling to Tier 1 operators that despite their “chaotic” marketing vibe, the math underneath is solid and compliant. The backing of industry veteran Dmitry Belianin also adds immediate commercial credibility to the startup.

The Full Story

Ebaka Games, the fledgling studio that promises to bring “chaos and soul” to the iGaming sector, has outlined an aggressive growth strategy for 2026 following a landmark launch period in late 2025.

The studio, which officially debuted in November, reports that its initial rollout reached more than five million people worldwide. The launch saw its portfolio go live with the operator Menace, serving as the initial testbed for its mechanics and “Ebaka modes.”

The Product: Instant Games with Personality Ebaka is bypassing traditional slots to focus on the high-growth vertical of fast-paced, instant-win games. Their initial lineup includes:

Plinko
Mines
Tower
Limbo
Crash

Differentiation is achieved through unique mascots and signature gameplay tweaks designed to offer high win potential and distinct visual identities, moving away from the generic interfaces often found in this genre.

Regulatory Milestone Crucially for its 2026 roadmap, Ebaka Games has confirmed it has secured certification from BMM Testlabs. This accreditation validates the fairness and integrity of its RNG (Random Number Generator) and game engines, removing a major barrier to entry for regulated markets. With this certification in hand, the studio plans to launch with a number of “major brands” in the coming year.

Management Commentary Vitalii Zalievskyi, CEO of Ebaka Games, commented on the studio’s unorthodox approach:

“It’s only been a few weeks since we first introduced Ebaka Games to the world. The feedback has been breathtaking, and it vindicates the decision for us to take a different path to the rest of the industry. You don’t need huge marketing budgets to grab people’s attention if you are building something truly innovative.”

Industry Backing The studio describes itself as being “created by players for players” but boasts significant industry firepower in its corner. The team includes Dmitry Belianin, a well-known figure in the sector who is the co-founder of Blask and Menace, as well as Managing Partner at Already Media.

Racing Meets Nightlife: SBK Backs ARC’s New ‘Friday Night Live’ Series

Published

5 days ago

December 23, 2025

George Miller

Editor’s Take

Why this matters: British racing has a well-documented demographic problem; its core audience is aging. “Friday Night Live” is a direct attempt to fix this by blending high-stakes racing with the “experience economy” (DJs, nightlife vibes) that appeals to Gen Z and Millennials. Bringing SBK on board—a mobile-first, app-only sportsbook—is a perfect demographic fit, while the Racing Post adds the necessary credibility to ensure the actual racing product remains the focus.

The Full Story

Arena Racing Company (ARC) has unveiled the strategic commercial lineup for its upcoming Friday Night Live series, confirming SBK as the Exclusive Betting Partner and The Racing Post as the Official Media Partner.

Set to launch in January 2026, Friday Night Live is a new initiative created in collaboration with youth-focused events company INVADES. The series is designed to overhaul the traditional race day experience, featuring fast-paced fixtures under floodlights, DJ sets, and significant entertainment elements sandwiched between races.

The Commercial Deal

SBK: As the exclusive betting partner, the Smarkets-owned sportsbook will take naming rights and on-course branding for all 35 races. Crucially, these races will be broadcast live on mainstream television via ITV Racing as well as Sky Sports Research.
The Racing Post: As the Official Media Partner, the publication will provide content, coverage, and promotion across its digital platforms, aiming to bridge the gap between established racing purists and the new audience ARC hopes to attract.

A High-Stakes Experiment The series is not just a marketing exercise; it carries serious sporting weight. Each of the five scheduled nights will feature over £200,000 in prize money. The fixtures will rotate across three of ARC’s all-weather tracks: Wolverhampton, Newcastle, and Southwell.

Management Commentary David Leyden Dunbar, Group Director of Commercial Strategy at ARC, was clear about the target audience:

“We have been very clear that one of the aims of Friday Night Live is to engage the next generation of racing fans… Both [partners] have shown real enthusiasm to work with us… as well as using the platform that these fixtures will offer them to also engage with more established racing and sports fans.”

Adam Baylis, Marketing Director at SBK, added:

“Friday Night Live [is] a fresh and engaging concept that brings a new energy to British racing. SBK has always been built around sport… our focus is on enhancing the live race day experience in a fun, social and responsible way.”

The 2026 Schedule The series kicks off immediately in the new year:
