♣️ Two days. Great conversations. Valuable connections.
ACE Alliance brought together operators, suppliers, and industry leaders for meaningful discussions on where iGaming is heading — and we're proud to have been part of it.
As the sponsor of the poker tournament, we were delighted to see the tables become more than just a competition — they became a place where industry professionals could connect, exchange ideas, and strengthen relationships in a more informal setting.
🎤 A special thanks to everyone who joined Yury Makarov, Head of Sales at EvenBet Gaming, for the panel discussion. We hope the conversation offered practical insights into building stronger player ecosystems through cross-vertical strategies.
To everyone we had the pleasure of meeting in Riga — thank you for your time, conversations, and trust. It's always valuable to reconnect with partners, meet new faces, and exchange ideas that move the industry forward.
See you at the next event 👋

What if the biggest moment of a poker hand happened before the cards were even dealt?
⠀
Online poker is competing for attention with products built to deliver action in seconds. In today’s attention economy, if the game feels too predictable or takes too long to get going, players have plenty of alternatives one tap away.
⠀
Our latest update gives operators two new ways to make cash-game dynamics more immediate and less predictable:
⠀
🔥 Straddle from any position
The first eligible player at the table can place the initial straddle, without being tied to a traditional position. This adds more variability from the start and creates more opportunities for action around the table.
⠀
⚡️ No Look All-In
Players can move all-in before receiving their hole cards. The mechanic adds suspense before the hand even begins and creates distinctive, stream-friendly moments that can make cash games more engaging to watch and play.
⠀
For operators, both features are fully configurable per table via the back-office and designed to support more active table dynamics, faster gameplay, and more opportunities for player engagement – with the potential to positively impact LTV and rake.
⠀
As Alexander Tamplon, CTO at EvenBet Gaming, explains:
“If a table feels slow or predictable, players can switch apps in seconds. Operators need mechanics that create excitement from the very beginning of the hand.”
⠀
Straddle from any position and No Look All-In are now available on the EvenBet Gaming poker platform.

Some nights stay with you long after the tables are cleared. ♠️
⠀
Looking back at the photos from the EvenBet Gaming VIP Poker Night at ACE Alliance Riga, it’s the smiles and easy conversations that bring the evening back to life.
⠀
60 guests joined us around the tables – some to play, some simply to catch up and meet people from the industry, and many for a bit of both.
⠀
That is exactly why we wanted to host the night: to give the industry another reason to get together, step away from the formal agenda and simply enjoy being in the same room.
⠀
Thanks to everyone who joined us – we would happily do this one again. 🤝

🌏 The biggest risk isn't entering the wrong market. It's overlooking the right one.
The Philippines is often dismissed as an online poker opportunity because of its regulatory shift. But markets are rarely defined by headlines alone.
The latest article by Ivan Shumilov, Regional Market Lead for Asia, explores what operators should evaluate beyond regulation—from player behaviour and cultural context to product-market fit and long-term strategic potential.
Because sometimes the most valuable opportunities are the least obvious.
📖 Read the full analysis and see why the conversation about the Philippines may need to change.
