EGT Digital: “AI will continue to play a key role in how we create and refine our solutions in 2026”

As 2025 comes to a close, EGT Digital is ending the year following a period of steady progress and strategic development. Over the past 12 months, the company expanded its product portfolio, strengthened its technological infrastructure, and continued advancing its sports betting and platform capabilities.

During the year, EGT Digital secured licenses in Belgium, Sweden, and Peru, obtained certification in Brazil, and launched operations in the market. The company also joined IBIA to support the integrity of its sports betting product and received industry recognition, including Fastest-Going Aggregator at SiGMA Central Europe.

In an exclusive interview with Yogonet, Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT Digital, reflects on a year that saw the company expand into new markets, strengthen its regulatory and technological foundations, and earn industry recognition for both its products and long-term vision.

Looking back at 2025, how would you assess the year for the company? What are some of the major takeaways, highlights, achievements, or lessons learned over the past year? 

2025 was a strong and productive year for EGT Digital, marked by steady progress and important strategic developments. We expanded our portfolio with a series of new releases, strengthened our technological infrastructure, and advanced our regulatory readiness by joining IBIA to support the integrity of our sports betting product.

We also secured key licenses that allowed us to enter several strategic markets – Belgium, Sweden, Peru, and more – and obtained certification in Brazil, where we have already launched operations. These achievements reflect both our commercial momentum and the trust that regulators and partners continue to place in our solutions.

Our team worked with remarkable dedication throughout the year – introducing new platform features, developing games, and supporting operators with the consistency that defines our brand. Their work throughout the year was consistent and dependable, and it is thanks to that effort that we were able to achieve these results. This helped us advance confidently in a constantly evolving industry and continue contributing to its direction.

We also received several distinctions from the industry, including Fastest-Going Aggregator at SiGMA Central Europe and Online Platform of the Year at the Golden Spade’s Awards for a second year in a row. Such recognition is important to us because it reflects the appreciation of our partners and colleagues across the sector.

A particularly meaningful moment was receiving the Industry Impact Award at the BEGE Awards. This distinction highlights our long-term vision, our contribution to the development of digital gaming technologies, and our commitment to creating next-generation iGaming solutions. It reinforces that our efforts are visible and valued within the industry.

On a personal level, I was honored to receive Visionary of the Year at the BEGE Awards and Outstanding Contribution to the Development of the Gaming Industry at the Golden Spade’s Awards. I have always considered such distinctions a recognition of the collective work of our 4,300 colleagues.
 
Which issues and trends would you say dominated the conversation this year? Any specific trends, markets, or technologies that you believe will drive change in 2026?

AI continued to be one of the most influential themes shaping the industry in 2025. For EGT Digital, it is already part of our everyday work – supporting personalization, analytics, and product optimization. As markets evolve and players seek more tailored experiences, AI will continue to play a key role in how we create and refine our solutions in 2026.

What can we expect from the company in 2026? What are the main challenges and opportunities you see in the gaming industry in the upcoming 12-month period?

In 2026, we will continue building on the foundation we established this year. Our priorities will include expanding our product offering, further developing the scalability of our platform, and supporting our partners in navigating diverse and rapidly changing markets.

The industry is becoming increasingly dynamic – shaped by new regulations, shifts in player behavior, and strong competition. These factors present challenges, but also create opportunities for companies that remain flexible and focused. Our aim is to continue strengthening our position as a reliable partner and to deliver solutions that support sustainable, long-term growth for our customers.
