Operator cites a 15% rise in poker players and average monthly rake up to $60,000 from September 2025 to April 2026.
BoaBet says it grew poker revenue by 150% after joining WePlay Network, powered by EvenBet Gaming, with the companies highlighting the results at NEXT Summit Valletta 2026.
EvenBet Gaming said the BoaBet performance adds to wider network results to date, claiming a 134% increase in player activity and 63% average revenue growth across the WePlay network.
From September 2025 to April 2026, BoaBet’s poker player base increased by 15%, cash game traffic rose by 30%, and active tables climbed from around 950 to 1,250, according to the release. Average monthly rake grew from $38,000 in the first three months of the partnership to $60,000 in the most recent three-month period, with March 2026 reaching approximately $78,000.
BoaBet described poker as a feeder vertical for its casino business, with WePlay providing access to network liquidity. EvenBet said its platform supported the rollout with features including automated rakeback, flexible tournament mechanics, and game ecology management, while WePlay provided operational, player support and anti-fraud teams.
Antonio La Vigna, Head of Poker at BoaBet, said: “Integrating poker was a strategic decision for us, but our main concern was the operational complexity of the vertical. Partnering with WePlay and leveraging EvenBet Gaming’s powerful, configurable platform completely eliminated that burden. The combination of EvenBet’s advanced software infrastructure and WePlay’s operational expertise allowed us to scale poker revenue by 150% while keeping our internal teams fully focused on our core casino business. This proves that with the right technology and network partner, poker can drive outstanding growth without expanding operational overhead.”
Gasper Janezic, CEO at WePlay, said: “Poker has a reputation for being operationally intensive, and that reputation puts a lot of casino operators off. BoaBet’s results demonstrate that with the right network structure in place, that barrier largely disappears. Our focus has always been on building an environment where operators can grow poker sustainably and where recreational players actually want to stay.” Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, added: “These results reinforce what we have seen across the WePlay network more broadly – that the combination of robust technology, managed liquidity, and operational expertise creates the conditions for consistent, long-term growth. We are proud to see that model delivering for operators of BoaBet’s profile, and we look forward to continuing to build on it together.”
