Which solutions you have shown during ICE London event?
Visiting ICE is a yearly tradition for Slotegrator. During the fair, we had three main priorities. First, we presented the AI-powered capabilities of our turnkey online casino platform, which has a wealth of new features that make operators’ lives easier and their businesses better. Second, we showed our Telegram Casino solution to any attendees who are not yet familiar with it. This innovative online gambling platform is seamlessly integrated into the popular messaging app of the same name. We proudly pioneered this solution, which is effective for venturing into new niches and captivating a fresh wave of players. Third, we displayed our aggregator solutions, which are very popular. We are working on expanding into different markets using APIgrator, adding different games to our portfolio every month, and we have a very clear idea of which benefits operators can get by using this solution. By integrating with a single API, operators can quickly and easily set up their platform and have it ready to go without any hassle.
The company recently announced that it has obtained the Isle of Man gambling license. What are some of the benefits of this achievement?
Yes, we are very proud to announce that our company has obtained the Online Gambling Permit for Software Supply from the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC). The gambling license is valid from December 5th, 2023, to December 4th, 2028. This marks a significant achievement for Slotegrator, reflecting our dedication to providing innovative and compliant gaming solutions to our clients. Our team has worked tirelessly to navigate the complexities of the licensing process, and we are grateful for the support of the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. This accomplishment further strengthens Slotegrator’s position as a key player in the global iGaming market. The island is very welcoming to the gambling industry, and many operators are drawn to the Isle of Man due to its liberal legislation. It’s true that the standards of the Commission have gotten stricter over time, due to increased advocacy for fair and responsible gaming. However, the more stringent the regulatory requirements are, the more credible the license holder’s reputation is in the eyes of the gaming community and the players. The Isle of Man license has a list of notable advantages: one license for all game types, support for all currencies, a variety of markets available for operation, competitive tax policy, foreign players may be accepted with the network license, and financial support available for licensees. We expect that start-ups, experienced operators, and investors will seize the opportunity to obtain a license from a reputable jurisdiction and open a successful online casino with our help. Such casinos have the potential to attract large audiences (including younger players) and become iGaming success stories. Operators can also get professional help and advisory support with legal and banking services, company administration, investment, marketing, software development, and other aspects of running a business. The Isle of Man Enterprise Support Schemes include micro business grants, loans and equity investments, funding towards business improvement projects, etc. It’s even possible to apply for special grants that will potentially cover the costs of relocating your business to the Isle of Man.
The firm has made several partnerships and deals with operators in different markets of the world. What is the company’s evaluation on your 2023 growth?
For Slotegrator, 2023 was a year of thorough research, deep insights, rethinking, and qualitative growth. During the year, the Slotegrator team visited iGaming events in key countries in its main markets (Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Africa), learned about all the new trends, and became convinced that it had chosen the right path and way of development. Cutting-edge, in-demand technologies were implemented in the company’s products and solutions. For example, the turnkey platform was updated with new modules and features for smoother and more optimized online casino and sportsbook management: the Casino Builder module for easy alterations of website UX, the KYC module for more efficient AI-driven player verification in compliance with regulatory requirements, the Anti-Fraud module to identify suspicious behavior, the Artificial BI module for quick and effective analysis of platform metrics, the Bonus module for a quick adjustment of bonus campaigns, and other features like a Progress Bar, a Wheel of Fortune, and the integration of ChatGPT. The company also reaffirmed its status as one of the pioneers of the Telegram Casino solution. This product is only becoming more and more popular due the growing popularity of portable gambling (as well as the messaging app itself). We had an interesting journey last year, and the team really enjoyed passing every milestone in this period of time. The Slotegrator team is convinced that the company is on the right path, determined to achieve their goals for 2024. Among them are enhancing the platform to include new AI options for improved convenience and safety, conducting regular market research and trend monitoring, and developing and deepening relationships with our partners.
Can you tell us more about the projects of the first semester of 2024?
Last year we analyzed many important trends in the iGaming industry, including the growing focus on regulatory compliance, responsible gambling, and ESG. Paying attention to these issues is a sign that the industry realizes the importance of safe and responsible gambling, and that it begins with leading companies like ours. In 2024, we will be focusing on our new and current clients’ brands enhancement. We will help them get to the top by implementing new solutions tailored to their specific challenges and in view of the conditions, because we want to help them to achieve their goals. Each of our customers will get what they want and will be able to achieve the highest levels in the industry through expertly selected solutions. Therefore, our focus will be on case studies of our most successful clients, and an even deeper dive into the intricacies of responsible gambling, as well as industry regulations. We share our educational material through Slotegrator Academy. Between expanding our footprint in Latin America and Asia, sharing educational articles and interviews with our partners, forecasting industry trends, and continuing to develop our innovative and effective products, we’re looking forward to everything 2024 has in store for us.
