EvenBet Gaming, a leading developer of online poker and casino software, has showcased its strengthened partnership with WePlay Network customer BoaBet at NEXT Summit Valletta 2026, celebrating a massive 150% poker revenue growth for the operator.
The continued collaboration builds on the foundations of a partnership that has already delivered a 134% increase in player activity and 63% average revenue growth across the wider WePlay network.
From September 2025 to April 2026, BoaBet’s poker player base grew by 15%, cash game traffic increased by 30%, and active tables rose from approximately 950 to 1,250.
Average monthly rake grew from $38,000 in the first three months of the partnership to $60,000 in the most recent three-month period, with March 2026 reaching approximately $78,000.
BoaBet is a casino-oriented multi-vertical operator for whom poker serves as a feeder vertical for their core casino business, rather than a standalone product. Joining WePlay gave them immediate access to network liquidity, avoiding the need to build a player pool from scratch.
EvenBet’s configurable platform provided the underlying infrastructure, including automated rakeback, flexible tournament mechanics, and advanced game ecology management to protect recreational traffic and support a healthy player environment.
Rather than building a dedicated in-house poker department, BoaBet was supported by WePlay’s specialist operations, player support and anti-fraud teams. This allowed the operator’s existing staff to remain focused on their core casino and sportsbook business while the poker vertical developed.
The results reflect a broader trend, where operators are increasingly able to add poker as a productive revenue vertical without the operational overhead that has historically made it difficult. Underpinned by EvenBet Gaming’s platform, BoaBet’s performance over the period points to a vertical built for the long term rather than driven by short-term promotional activity.
Antonio La Vigna, Head of Poker at BoaBet, said:
Integrating poker was a strategic decision for us, but our main concern was the operational complexity of the vertical. Partnering with WePlay and leveraging EvenBet Gaming’s powerful, configurable platform completely eliminated that burden. The combination of EvenBet’s advanced software infrastructure and WePlay’s operational expertise allowed us to scale poker revenue by 150% while keeping our internal teams fully focused on our core casino business. This proves that with the right technology and network partner, poker can drive outstanding growth without expanding operational overhead.
Gasper Janezic, CEO at WePlay, said:
Poker has a reputation for being operationally intensive, and that reputation puts a lot of casino operators off. BoaBet’s results demonstrate that with the right network structure in place, that barrier largely disappears. Our focus has always been on building an environment where operators can grow poker sustainably and where recreational players actually want to stay.
Dmitry Starostenkov, CEO at EvenBet Gaming, added:
These results reinforce what we have seen across the WePlay network more broadly – that the combination of robust technology, managed liquidity, and operational expertise creates the conditions for consistent, long-term growth. We are proud to see that model delivering for operators of BoaBet’s profile, and we look forward to continuing to build on it together.
