Evoplay Entertainment

Company History

Evoplay Entertainment was founded in 2017 with a mission to revolutionise the iGaming user experience through innovative gameplay and technology. The company made an early splash at ICE 2018 when it unveiled the industry’s first 3D/VR slots game, a bold move that established its reputation as a pioneer. Since then, Evoplay has consistently expanded its offering, now providing over 250 titles spanning video slots, instant games, table games, classic slots, and branded content. Each game is built in-house, from concept through to premium graphics and sound, and is optimised for mobile, tablet, and desktop via the Spinential engine – a proprietary platform that accelerates download speeds and ensures smooth performance even on lower-bandwidth connections.

Business Model

Evoplay operates primarily as a B2B supplier, integrating its games with operators and platform providers via a straightforward API. The company’s product suite includes smash hits such as Temple of Dead, Book of Keno, Treasure Mania, Uncrossable Rush, Adrenaline Rush: Scratch, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and Penalty Shoot Out: Cup Mania. Its instant games category has been particularly well-received, helping operators attract and retain the emerging generation of players. The company’s portfolio is built on player-centric features – including free bets, multi-currency support (100+ currencies), and customisable mechanics – that have proven to boost key metrics such as player retention and session length.

Market Position and Partnerships

Notable platform partnerships include EveryMatrix (via CasinoEngine), Gamingtec, win2day (Austria), Casino777.es (Spain), F12.bet.br (Brazil), and bet365 (Brazil). Evoplay’s global footprint extends across regulated markets including the UK, Croatia, Malta, Bulgaria, Romania, Spain, Austria, Peru, and Brazil. In the first half of 2025 alone, the studio launched 19 new titles and recorded a 47% rise in player activity year-over-year. The company’s corporate structure reflects a growing ecosystem, with management describing the business as entering “a new stage of growth as a production ecosystem” and a community-centric product called Evoplay Arena that takes a player-first approach to product evolution.

Leadership

Leadership is a key strength. CEO Ivan Kravchuk, who has been with the company since its founding as Creative Director, took the helm as CEO in October 2019. Under his direction, the company has expanded its portfolio tenfold, won major awards, and entered dozens of new markets. The executive team includes Yaroslav Sakharuta as Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Diana Larina as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), and Vladimir Malakchi as Chief Business Development Officer (CBDO). This core team drives strategy across product innovation, market expansion, and brand positioning.

Recent Developments

Evoplay is committed to responsible gambling and holds licences and certifications from multiple jurisdictions. Despite its rapid growth, the company maintains a developer-centric culture, with its primary development centre still in Kyiv, Ukraine, and a corporate office in Malta. The company’s website and communication emphasise 24/7 personalised partner support, with response times under 15 minutes, and support in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
