GS: Tell us something you think readers really should know about your brand.

TVBET, in a nutshell, is a world provider of fast live-games for which there is no alternative. Our games integration allows casino and sports to stand out from the crowd of competitors while at the same time supporting stable growth.

GS: What was the inspiration behind your company?
Our company had its debut in 2016, and since then cooperates directly with more than 70 casinos and betting operators worldwide. We took the experience of the best companies in the industry, added our own and multiplied it by innovations. The main inspiration was and still is to help our clients grow, by integrating superb content into their platforms. Currently, we stream 10 unique games for our partners.

GS: What were some challenges you’ve faced in the gaming business so far?
Speaking of the product, for us it was important to prepare a technical solution with high quality stream and modern backoffice ready to use. Content localisation in accordance with the requirements across different markets also plays a significant role. We decided to offer clients the most popular live-games in their region, and this requires a very thorough effort.And the most important thing for TVBET was to acquire a reputation of a reliable and stable provider of live-games. In just one year we got more than 70 partners across the globe, which was made possible thanks to the uncompromising quality of our games and huge popularity among players.

GS: What is the key advantage of live games?
Considering the reasons partners choose TVBET integration I can indicate the following factors:

1) Our live-games do not suffer from low seasonality that exists in sports competitions, thereby helping our partners to reach a steady growth of visitors during the off-season.
2) The content is designed to literally “glue” players to their screens. Charming hosts, fast-moving developments in popular 10 games, individual jackpots and bonuses – all these elements keep visitors stuck on a partner’s website.
3) Real-time streams also provide a high level of trust of players when choosing TVBET games among other proposals.

GS: Do you think that Eastern Europe has the potential to be a leading market in that sector and what role could TVBET play in that development?
Eastern Europe region has everything for solid growth every year. Concerned audience with internet access, large presence of mobile devices, and the growing popularity of betting and casino products available - all these factors allow to achieve the growth rate of 6-8 per cent or above. TVBET, in turn, enriches the diversity of suggested gaming entertainments.

This is only part of our games, and the entire portfolio can be found at our stand.

GS: What do you think about gambling future regarding new technologies?
The global gambling market is growing at 5-7% annually, having billions in turnover. We predict that the share of live games in the revenue structure of bookmakers and casinos will increase from 30 to 40% in the next 5 years. For us, this means an explosive increase in the number of bets and the income as well.Of course, technological superiority should remain in the first place since only it will allow companies to maintain leadership in the industry.

GS: Working in many countries all over the world, do you find that there are cultural differences from one gambling market to the next, or are gaming professionals from different nations quite similar?
Speaking of players, cultural specificities have an impact on preferences. For instance, lottery games like Keno, 1Bet, 5Bet and other are very popular in Africa, while people in Europe more inclined to card games, like PokerBet, JokerBet. At the same time, Asians prefer Baccarat, players from Latin America - dice and lottery as well.As for the gaming professionals, there is no relevant different visible.
