🤖 AI won’t replace HR — but it’s already changing how HR works.
Today, AI is becoming part of everyday HR processes: from recruitment and onboarding to learning and analytics. It helps handle routine tasks, process large volumes of data, and improve efficiency.
But the real question isn’t whether to adopt AI.
It’s about balance 👇
— where does AI truly improve decision-making?
— where can it introduce risks?
— and what should always remain human?
In this post, we’ve highlighted key insights from an article by Kristina Pechenkina, HR People Partner at EvenBet Gaming, on how AI is reshaping HR — and what responsible adoption looks like in practice.

🇧🇷 Brazil is entering a new phase — and for poker, it’s a turning point.
Today, it’s not just a fast-growing market — it’s one of the key global hubs for poker players.
And now, there’s growing pressure to regulate and tax poker the same way as casino games.
At first glance, it sounds logical.
But poker works differently — it’s built on long sessions, player liquidity, and retention.
And most importantly, it’s a skill-based game.
Treating it like a casino product risks undermining both player experience and long-term sustainability.
🔑 So the key question becomes:
how do you scale monetisation without breaking the core of poker?
In many ways, Brazil is becoming a test case for the future of the game.
We’ll be discussing this at SiGMA South America —
Evgenii Rusakov (Regional Market Lead, LATAM) and
Nikita Akulov (Chief Customer Officer) will be there.
👀 A good read on what’s happening right now.

🤖 AI is reshaping iGaming acquisition — and affiliates are feeling it first
For years, the model was simple:
traffic → comparison → conversion
Now, decisions are often happening directly in search. Users get recommendations before they even reach affiliate sites.
❓ What’s changing?
• Organic traffic is becoming less stable
• Conversion depends more on intent than volume
• Content quality and accuracy matter beyond SEO
At the same time, AI is accelerating execution — making it easier to scale content, test faster, and localize.
🧩 Which creates a paradox:
there’s more content than ever, but it’s harder to stand out and build trust.
📈 For operators, this shift is already affecting performance:
• Traffic quality matters more than volume
• Compliance and accuracy are becoming key factors
• Partnerships are evaluated by transparency and long-term value, not just CPA
The focus is shifting from how much traffic you get to what kind of traffic — and how it’s influenced.
🧠 In this article, Eugene Rusakov, Regional Market Lead for LatAm, explains what this means for both affiliates and operators.

Regulation is no longer just about compliance — it’s about product, UX, and monetization.
In Q1 2026, we’re seeing a clear shift in how governments approach iGaming.
It’s no longer just about licensing — it’s about platform-level accountability.
In our latest article,
Dmitry Smirnov (Senior Lawyer) and
Darya Korshunova (Legal Counsel) at EvenBet Gaming break down the most important regulatory changes across key markets:
🇪🇺 EU — DSA reporting, AI transparency, user control
🇧🇷 Brazil — higher taxes and stricter KYC
🇬🇮 Gibraltar — new definition of gambling, including hybrid formats
🇧🇾 Belarus — restrictions on foreign platforms and stronger enforcement
What’s the common pattern?
👉 Regulation is expanding into how your product works, not just where you operate.
What this means in practice:
— AI features must be disclosed
— monetization mechanics are under scrutiny
— compliance now impacts retention strategies
Legal is becoming a product function.
🔄 This article is part of our new quarterly series.

Our Head of Sales, Yury Makarov, just got back from Conversion Conf Warsaw — and here’s one insight worth sharing 👇
Acquisition is everywhere. Retention is still underserved.
Everyone knows how to bring players in.
Far fewer know how to keep them.
And that’s where things get interesting.
Slots and sportsbook still drive most of the traffic —
but they don’t always create long-term engagement.
Poker does.
It builds sessions.
It creates competition.
It forms habits.
Not as a primary revenue driver —
but as a retention layer that keeps players coming back.
And yet, many operators are still underusing it.
Another thing that stood out:
👉 the easier it is to enter the game, the higher the chances players actually stay
That’s exactly where One Click poker comes in — removing friction from the very first interaction and turning curiosity into instant engagement.
Because today, retention depends not just on what you offer —
but on how fast players can get into it.
👉 See how One Click poker turns acquisition into retention.
