Exclusive Q&A with Alex Shybanov, Senior Sales Manager for CEE Region/PandaScore
What is the difference between PandaScore and big suppliers?
The biggest difference is that we’re solely focused on esports whereas a lot of the bigger suppliers concentrated on traditional sports. For PandaScore esports is the only priority. We’re also fast and agile – we can implement new products and features incredibly quickly allowing our partners to leverage the fast-growing nature of the sector.
Another major difference is the data-led approach we take. We combine this with AI, our own trading models and a team of highly skilled traders which allows us to present one of the best esports betting products in the market.
Our trading models are worth highlighting as this is what really sets us apart. They’re fully automated and cover all of the sports that we have. In comparison, most of the big suppliers are still using manual or semi-manual models.
Finally, the number of markets we offer and our uptime (the percentage of time that lines are open and available for players to place bets) is unrivalled. We are also open to feedback and regularly work with our partners to implement new tools and features.
This enables us to satisfy their individual needs and continually improve performance, something that the big providers cannot offer especially if esports is not considered a priority for them.
What do you have to say about the esports market in Central & Eastern Europe?
It is fast-growing, for sure, and is really well developed when compared with other European regions and markets like the UK. In fact, across CEE esports is often among the top five bets on sports in terms of revenues and turnover.
What is driving this? Several factors but in particular there are some really strong teams that are based out of CEE countries. This includes Na’Vi (CS:GO) and Team Spirit (Dota 2) – 2021 TI champions. This has helped to elevate the popularity of esports across the region.
To bet on esports, you really have to play esports and CEE is a big market in terms of the number of players that play video games. This in turn helps to drive esports engagement and betting on esports as there is a larger pool of consumers that understand how it all works.
What is interesting is the popularity of certain games in CEE, which differs from other European markets. CS:GO is by far the most popular game to play, with Dota 2 number two across the market. But globally, League of Legends is the most popular.
Why is your trading solution specifically suited for the CEE market?
There are several key reasons why PandaScore is perfectly suited for operators targeting the CEE market. The first is our local coverage; we offer odds and markets on all local tournaments across the region including in Poland, the Czech Republic and Russia.
Next, our data-driven approach and unique models allows us to achieve the best uptime. For CS:GO uptime levels are in excess of 90% and with Dota 2 it is 75%. This is between 20-25% more than our rivals which means our partners can offer their players more betting opportunities.
This is achieved via our automated models and not having to change the lines manually. With players able to bet 25% more during the game, this is a major value driver for operators. This is only set to become more significant with the continued growth of live esports betting.
Finally, we have comprehensive margin management, and this is important for operators targeting the region because esports bettors are sophisticated. They are not recreational players and have a deep understanding of how games work and the betting options available to them.
Our partners can set different margins across a range of factors such as pre-match, live, games, markets, and more.
This allows them to maximise their margin but also run promotions around particular games and markets, lowering the odds to make them more attractive on a specific game and then setting a higher margin on second and third-tier games to balance this off.
How do you balance this approach for your partner operators, who may have different needs?
Our trading dashboard has been designed to put the power in an operator’s hands. Their traders can manage everything from booking (such as by game, tournament tier, automated) to margin management (possibility to set different margins for different games, markets, tournaments) and more.We have many different markets, especially for live betting. For CS:GO, for instance, we have 60 pre-match markets and 24 live markets.
As an example, we have recently rolled out player markets for total kills over/under. This allows operators to increase revenues by offering markets on specific players and teams that are popular in that region or market. And it’s becoming more and more popular.
What are PandaScore’s goals for 2022 and esports?
Esports will continue on its rapid growth trajectory. It is already in the top five sports in some markets and I believe this will become the case in more and more regions in 2022. Offline tournaments are also returning which will be a further catalyst for growth.
Regarding PandaScore, we will continue to increase the scale and scope of our coverage and particularly when it comes to local coverage. This will be driven in part by cooperating with local tournaments and securing additional data partnerships.
We will keep building out our market and product offerings – player markets have launched with CS:GO but we plan to extend this to other games such as Dota 2. We are also working on offering multiples for specific games with a bet builder feature also in the works.
2022 is set to be another breakthrough year for esports and esports betting, and as always PandaScore will be at the cutting edge of this incredible sector.

22Bet Partners, HellPartners and PlayamoPartners Present: Empire of Success at SiGMA Rome 2025
When SiGMA takes over Rome from November 3–6, the city becomes the epicenter of iGaming. But on November 4, all paths lead to one destination: Atlantico Live, where three powerhouse brands — 22Bet Partners, HellPartners, PlayamoPartners, and — will set the stage for the most unforgettable night of the conference: Empire of Success.
Headlining the night is Armin van Buuren — a five-time #1 DJ in the world whose sets have defined a generation of electronic music. For one night only, his festival-scale sound and light show will take over Atlantico Live, turning 3,000 affiliates into the biggest crowd SiGMA Rome has ever seen.
Not an Invite-Only. A Statement.
In an industry where parties are usually small, exclusive, and hidden behind velvet ropes, Empire of Success breaks the mold. Not by lowering the bar — but by raising the ceiling. By opening registration to all affiliates, the organizers are sending a bold message: every partner deserves a seat at the table — and a place on the dancefloor. Every detail reflects the strength of the hosts. 22Bet’s precise, global execution. HellPartners’ bold, no-limits approach. PlayAmo’s polished, premium feel. It’s not “another night out.” It’s a VIP-standard experience, scaled for thousands, powered by brands with the vision (and the muscle) to make it happen.
Atmosphere & Format
From 21:00 until 02:00, Atlantico Live will turn into a fusion of sound, lights, and community. Expect world-class production, multiple bars, and a crowd that feels less like an audience and more like a movement. A dedicated VIP zone, curated by the organizers, will host selected partners with its own private bar and light bites, offering space to connect, regroup, or recharge between sets.
Together, these three brands have turned what could have been another closed-door party into a gift from the industry to the industry — one that makes every affiliate feel like the main guest. And you definitely don’t want to miss this.

TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of premium casino content, has released 3 Coin Golden OX, the newest addition to its popular TriLuck series. Featuring Lock & Respin mechanics, Free Games, the Jackpot Pick feature and stunning East Asian-inspired design, this release continues TaDa’s mastery in crafting culturally resonant slots with modern excitement.
Played on a 5×3 grid with 243 ways to win, 3 Coin Golden OX merges elegant visual design with dynamic gameplay. The golden ox reigns over the reels as players chase multipliers, jackpot coins and powerful bonus rounds capable of delivering up to 1200x max win.
The heart of the game lies in its Fortune Pot system, where players collect Ta Ji Da Li Coins into red, green and blue pots above the reels. Each pot can trigger a different Free Game type such as Mighty Free Spins, Super Free Spins or Ultramate Free Spins, each with unique grid sizes, bonus coin behaviour, and jackpot opportunities. During Free Games, players start with three spins that reset whenever new coin symbols appear, keeping the tension high and rewards flowing.
Adding another layer of excitement, the Jackpot Pick Feature offers players a chance to reveal Fuwa symbols or Upgrade icons hidden behind gold coins. Revealing three identical Fuwa symbols awards one of four fixed jackpots, while Upgrade symbols can boost the prize to a higher tier. With fixed jackpot values up to 1000x the bet, 3 Coin Golden OX delivers thrilling win potential across every feature.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, commented: “3 Coin Golden OX continues the evolution of our TriLuck series with deeper bonus layers and stronger visual storytelling. The combination of Lock & Respin, progressive Free Games, and the Jackpot Pick feature gives players a sense of progression and excitement that builds with every spin.”
