A special highlight:

🎤 Customer Experience: Seamless Journeys?
📅 April 29
⏰ 15:00–15:40

As player expectations rapidly evolve — from mobile-first UX to gamification and deeply personalised journeys — the industry faces a critical challenge: how to innovate without compromising the seamless experiences users already trust.

At the same time, increasingly strict regulatory requirements raise the bar for onboarding and verification. The question is no longer compliance or convenience — it’s how to deliver both, without friction.

At EvenBet Gaming, we believe the answer lies in smart product design, flexible infrastructure, and a deep understanding of player behaviour. We’re proud to bring this perspective to the discussion.

If you’re attending SBC Summit Malta, don’t miss this session — and let’s connect 🤝

🎤 We’re proud to share that our CEO, Dmitry Starostenkov, was featured in an interview with Global Gaming Insider!

In the conversation, Dmitry explores one of the hottest topics in the industry today — the role of AI in game design — and why technology, no matter how advanced, still cannot replace true artistic vision.

As he puts it, “AI can assist, but it cannot originate meaning or intent.”

The interview dives into:
• how AI is reshaping development processes
• where its real value lies today
• and why human creativity remains at the core of great games

A thoughtful perspective on the balance between innovation and creativity — well worth the read.
