History and Founding

EvenBet Gaming was founded in 2001 by Dmitry Starostenkov, initially as a freelance software development shop before pivoting to online poker. The company’s early focus on poker software development led to a mature, modular platform. Over two decades, EvenBet grew from a small team into an international B2B provider, establishing its headquarters in Birkirkara, Malta. The company's journey is chronicled in its own blog, highlighting the evolution from a startup to a key player in iGaming.

Business Model and Revenue

EvenBet operates on a B2B model, providing turnkey and custom poker solutions to operators worldwide. Its revenue streams include software licensing, revenue sharing, and professional services. By 2025, the company reported $21.4M in revenue with a valuation of $64.2M. The platform supports a range of operators, from emerging regional brands to established groups, and processes over 48 million registered players. The company also offers an aggregator model, allowing operators to combine poker with third-party casino content.

Core Products and Platforms

EvenBet’s primary product is its poker platform, supporting 40+ game variants including Texas Hold’em, Omaha, and mixed games. The platform is available on web, desktop, and mobile (iOS/Android). The company also offers an iGaming Platform and Aggregator that integrates poker with casino games, sports betting, and back-office tools such as unified wallet, KYC, bonusing, CRM, and affiliate management. Additionally, EvenBet provides a crypto poker solution for cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals. Interactive features like video chat, throwable objects, and bomb pots are designed to increase player engagement and retention.

Market Position and Competition

EvenBet competes with other online poker software providers such as Microgaming (MPN), Playtech (IPN), and GGNetwork. Its differentiators include a large library of game variants, a modular iGaming platform, and a focus on emerging markets. The company has a presence in 41 countries and has launched over 200 poker projects. EvenBet’s global footprint includes both mature markets (e.g., Europe) and emerging regions (e.g., Asia, Latin America). The company holds multiple licenses, including from the Malta Gaming Authority, and emphasizes compliance and responsible gambling tools.

Partnerships and Recent Developments

A notable partnership is with WePlay Network; a renewed agreement delivered a 134% increase in player activity and 63% revenue growth. EvenBet regularly attends industry conferences such as SBC, ICE, and SiGMA. In recent years, the company launched an iGaming platform and aggregator, added interactive features, and published the iGaming Future 2026 report. The leadership transition in 2025 saw Johann Bordais become CEO, succeeding founder Dmitry Starostenkov. EvenBet continues to invest in R&D for AI, fast-format games, and mobile-first interfaces.

Licensing and Regulatory Footprint

EvenBet operates under licenses from multiple jurisdictions, including the Malta Gaming Authority (implied by its Malta HQ). The company provides responsible gaming tools and KYC/AML compliance as part of its back-office suite. Its licensing footprint enables operators to offer regulated online poker in various markets, though specific jurisdictions are not fully detailed in public sources.
