  • Gibraltar iGaming: New Treaty, New Licences, New Opportunities | Connected Podcast Episode #22

    Gibraltar's iGaming regulatory landscape is undergoing its most significant transformation in two decades. A new Act has modernised the licensing framework, a landmark treaty is reshaping the jurisdiction's relationship with the EU and Spain, and an emerging regulatory frontier — at the intersection of crypto asset frameworks and the new Act — could position Gibraltar as the first jurisdiction in the world to offer a combined crypto licence for the sector.

    In this episode of Connected with Pragmatic Solutions, our CEO Ashley Lang sits down with Nicky Macias, Secretary General of the Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Association, and Steven Caetano, Partner at ISOLAS LLP, to examine what these changes mean for operators and B2B businesses in the jurisdiction.

    The conversation covers how Gibraltar built its reputation through substance requirements and proximity-based regulation, what the new Act modernises, and why the jurisdiction may be uniquely placed to lead on regulatory innovation for years to come.

    Some of the topics covered are:

    • How Gibraltar built its reputation through substance requirements and proximity-based regulation.
    • What the new Act modernises and what it formalises for the first time.
    • The new tiered B2B licensing structure and the end of the sheltering system.
    • The appeals mechanism and the regulated individuals regime.
    • The implementation timeline and the six-month transitional period.
    • How the EU-Gibraltar-Spain treaty changes the talent and livability proposition for businesses based in the jurisdiction.
    • Why Gibraltar could be the first jurisdiction to offer a combined crypto licence under both its financial services and new Act frameworks.
    • The five-year outlook for Gibraltar as a leading iGaming hub.

  • The iGaming Jackpot Engine Where Operators Profit and Players Win | Connected Podcast Ep. #22: Alea

    Alea's natively integrated jackpot engine gives operators a white-label, casino-branded jackpot across their full content catalogue, with a direct revenue share on player contributions: a model structurally different from provider network jackpots, where operators fund prizes but earn nothing back.

    In this episode of Connected with Pragmatic Solutions, our CEO Ashley Lang speaks with Alexandre (Alex) Tomic and Charlotte Lecomte, Co-Founders of Alea, about the design, economics, and integration of Alea Jackpot. Alea is a game aggregation platform and long-standing integration partner of Pragmatic Solutions, known for its API governance standards and operator-first product philosophy. Alea Play aggregates content for operators across multiple regulated markets.

    The conversation covers the origin of Alea Jackpot — including two prior attempts to partner with third-party jackpot providers, both of which were acquired and taken off the market — the product architecture decisions that followed, and what the launch means for operators looking to add engagement and retention tools without adding integration overhead.

    Some of the topics covered are:

    • Why provider network jackpots generate no direct revenue for the operator, and what operators actually pay when they participate.
    • The side-bet contribution model: how players opt in transparently and how operators configure their own house margin on jackpot participation.
    • Why jackpot tools must sit natively on the game aggregation layer to handle bet cancellations, round-state visibility, and fraud prevention.
    • Reconciliation risks created by third-party jackpot providers operating outside the gaming gateway.
    • How operators configure jackpot tiers, fall frequency, and prize targets for their player base.
    • Alea's campaign simulator: modelling jackpot profitability and fall behaviour before go-live.
    • The white-label jackpot as an additive product, positioned alongside provider network jackpots rather than replacing them.
    • The initial go-live with sweepstakes casino operators in June 2026, and pipeline demand across the segment.
    • The product roadmap beyond jackpots: lottery, races, and tournament mechanics planned for 2026 and 2027.

    • How Trustly functions as a payment orchestrator, combining open banking with local payment methods (iDEAL, Bancontact, MB WAY, Bizum, Blik) for multi-market operators.
    • Current geographical coverage across the EU, UK, US, and Canada and where rollout of specific products is ongoing.

    In this episode of Connected with Pragmatic Solutions, our CEO Ashley Lang speaks with Lee Wright, Sales Director at ClickHouse, about how columnar database architecture is changing what operators can do with their data and what it costs to do it.

    ClickHouse is trusted by Cloudflare, Netflix, Tesla, Deutsche Bank, and Anthropic for high-performance analytics at scale. In iGaming, it gives operators the infrastructure to move from batch reporting to live, queryable data across player behaviour, affiliate performance, and fraud signals.

  • iGaming CRM Strategy: Retention, VIPs and AI | Connected with Pragmatic Solutions Ep. #18: Kyborg

    iGaming CRM specialist Kyborg explains how operators can move beyond deposit-focused campaigns to build behavioural-based retention strategies, manage VIP churn proactively, and integrate AI without losing strategic control.

    Brigitta Szenczy is Co-Founder of Kyborg, a specialist CRM and player lifecycle agency with a decade of iGaming experience. She works with operators to diagnose CRM weaknesses, design lifecycle strategies, and execute across retention, VIP management, and player engagement.

    This conversation covers the full scope of iGaming CRM strategy, from goal-setting and tooling selection to personalisation, VIP warning signals, and the practical role of AI in day-to-day operations.

    Some of the topics covered are:
    - Why treating deposit conversion as the primary CRM success metric leads operators to optimise for the wrong outcome.
    - How to diagnose business weak points before setting KPIs, rather than building campaigns first and measuring results after.
    - The difference between behavioural-based real-time CRM and campaign scheduling, and why these are frequently confused.
    - How to select CRM tooling based on platform integration, compliance requirements, and market-specific functional needs.
    - When generic campaigns outperform personalised ones, and how to judge which approach is appropriate at each stage of the player relationship.
    - How CRM functions as an early warning system for VIP churn by tracking behavioural signals before revenue impact becomes visible.
    - Where AI adds genuine value in CRM operations, and where human expertise remains necessary.
    The importance of product and operational alignment for CRM to function effectively.
