2024 was a year of scalability, new initiatives, and growth – let’s see how far we’ve come.
32 new Evoplay games – spanning slots, instant and crash titles, alongside fresh tap and skill-based genres – enriched the iGaming landscape. In addition, 59 branded games added the finishing touch in a dynamic market, where standing out is essential for breaking through and driving success. Among 2024’s new releases Temple Of Thunder II Bonus Buy became a favourite across all our markets last year, showing strong growth in key metrics. Meanwhile, our hits like Penalty Shoot-out: Street, Hot Triple Sevens, Mega Greatest Catch Bonus Buy, and Scratch Match continued to top the charts.
The green flag waved with our flagship release – Adrenaline Rush, a 3D racing game where skill-based gameplay meets the thrill of gambling, offering a one-of-a-kind experience. Complemented by Adrenaline Rush: Super Boost slot and Adrenaline Rush: XCrash instant game, this series showcased how innovation, storytelling, stunning visuals, and immersive gameplay can elevate iGaming.
New mechanics, like the fast-paced tapping gameplay of Tap Craze and the skill-based precision of Hercules: Sports Legend introduced fresh interactive experiences for iGamers.
Evoplay’s expansion into established verticals, such as lottery and bingo, opened new opportunities and further broadened our presence in the iGaming space.
To strengthen B2B communication, we continued to enhance the Client Area platform, adapting it to evolving requests and delivering even greater efficiency and convenience for our partners. To boost player engagement and retention, we introduced new promotional tools – Random Prize Drops, Wheel of Fortune, and Races – which have been well received by our players. On the B2C side, we also launched the Evoplay City project, aiming to develop a vibrant player community for our beloved players – which will be a focus for us in 2025.
And another milestone that really turned heads – we launched Evoplay Podcast, hosted by our CBDO, Ihor Zarechnyi, where leading voices of the iGaming industry share their insights. Be sure to check it out on our networks!
Throughout 2024, Evoplay was honoured with prestigious industry awards, a testament to our excellence and dedication to the evolution of iGaming:
Forging partnerships and entering new markets also defined our success in 2024. This year, we entered the Czech Republic, Brazil, and Peru. Our partner network grew by approximately 46% year-on-year, fueled by significant collaborations. These included our expansion in the Baltics with Optibet, a leading regional operator, and our deeper integration into the Italian online gambling market through the platform provider Microgame, as well as our partnership with Fortuna in the Czech Republic, a top-tier operator. Integration agreements with Light & Wonder and partnerships with operators like Vegas.hu and Sesame.bg further contributed to this remarkable growth.
Anton Gyria, Head of Account Management at Evoplay, reflected on the broader market trends shaping the industry in 2024:
“Last year showed a clear global shift towards creating local regulated gambling markets, reflected in our recent expansions. While large-scale launches bring challenges, overcoming them has strengthened our expertise. For example, when regulations for the Brazilian market were introduced, we adapted quickly and efficiently despite tight deadlines. We’ve already certified lots of games for the new markets we are entering, with more on the way.“
He highlighted the importance of strategic partnerships and planning as the foundation for successful adaptation:
“Collaborating with experienced partners who hold licences in key jurisdictions or have similar market expertise helps us navigate local requirements efficiently. Meanwhile, long-term planning keeps us focused amid numerous procedures and ongoing processes.“
2024 was also marked by offline meetings that strengthened partnerships and boosted Evoplay’s brand awareness. At ICE London, our Adrenaline Rush 3D flagship game wowed audiences with its debut. We also participated in iGB Live, the hub for operators and affiliates, SiGMA Asia in Manila, and the SBC Summit in Lisbon, where our guests received predictions from the Magician and won themed gifts in line with the Good Luck Spell game. We continued the momentum at the World Lottery Summit in Paris and wrapped up the year with a high-energy presence at SiGMA Europe.
What truly set this year apart were the themed parties we hosted, emphasising the importance of in-person connections. During our time at SiGMA Americas, we organised a vibrant Brazilian night filled with nonstop beats and electric energy. Later in the year, during SiGMA Europe, we hosted a cosy Maltese evening in picturesque vineyards, featuring fine wine and live music. These moments transcended business, creating lasting memories and strengthening bonds.
Amidst these achievements and remarkable business growth, our CEO, Ivan Kravchuk, shared his reflections on 2024:
“2024 was a year of renewal and focused effort for Evoplay. With fresh ideas and a new vision, we laid the groundwork for future growth by launching new projects, including lottery and bingo, as part of our scalability plans. Without Evoplay’s dedicated team, these exceptional results would not have been possible. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together!”
… and his aspirations for 2025:
“With this foundation, I believe 2025 will be a year of growth and rewards – a time to harvest the fruits of our efforts, with even more exciting opportunities ahead for us, our partners, and players.”
It’s time to spark the iGaming industry in 2025. With Evoplay’s new cutting-edge games, meaningful collaborations, productive partnerships, and exciting adventures for players, it’s set to be truly exceptional. Ready to rock? Let’s explore new horizons together!
