EvenBet heads to Colombia’s GAT Expo following impressive LatAm growth

Developer set to showcase pioneering poker platform on stand B4 at GAT Expo
Following a strong period of commercial success across the LatAm region, EvenBet Gaming will be in attendance at the 2021 GAT Expo to exhibit its market-leading poker products.
The event, which takes place at Colombia’s Cartagena De Indias convention centre between August 18-20, will mark EvenBet’s first in-person exhibition since the start of the pandemic and is the ideal location to showcase its world-class omnichannel poker portfolio given its gains in the region in recent months. The company has been developing its Colombia-based online poker project for more than a year. The initiative allows operators to target audiences from a huge portion of the continent, including Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia itself.
CEO Dmitry Starostenkov will be among the EvenBet delegates present on stand B4, along with Manuel Jimenez who recently joined as the company’s Representative for Colombia. Both will be on hand to guide attendees through the company’s core poker solutions. The developer will also exclusively showcase its new gamification and user retention features, which are not yet available in open demo, at the event.
EvenBet’s extensive offering allows customers to join an existing poker network or start a standalone online poker solution, which has proven to be preferable for existing land-based casino operators in the region.
EvenBet’s state-of-the-art technology and functionality also allow for a simple API integration, with other features including a seamless wallet and a full user database, with a routinely upgraded and localised UI. In addition, all poker rooms have a flexible front end, enabling them to be customised to any operator’s specific branding.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, said: “It’s going to be so exciting to meet and greet people again for the first time in months. We can’t wait to return to Colombia and show how our poker offering can boost engagement and revenues for casino and sportsbook operators. Colombian bettors have taken to online poker in their droves during the past year, especially on their mobile devices. We look forward to further helping operators keep these newfound players satisfied.
“Robust and effective online regulation provides the right foundation for companies like EvenBet to have the confidence to invest its time and resources here and we have established ourselves, along with our operator partners, as a leading provider of online poker in Colombia.”
