BGaming is an iGaming content provider and game publisher that produces games for online gambling operators. As of January 2024, the studio's products were presented in over 1,000 projects worldwide. Headquartered in
Malta, the company's development offices are located in
Poland and
Georgia.
Overview
Since 2013, BGaming had been a department within a gambling software development company, SOFTSWISS,[1] founded by
Ivan Montik and Dmitriy Yaikov.[2] In 2018, the studio evolved into an independent company, branching off as a distinct brand with Marina Ostrovtsova as the CEO.
In March 2021, BGaming obtained[3] a Critical Supply Licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (
MGA), according to Gambling Insider.

In 2021, as per SiGMA media outlet, BGaming widened[6] its Brand Exclusives line-up by enabling table game customisation. According to AskGamblers, in August 2023, the studio unveiled[7] the performance data of customized games in its case study material for the first time, revealing game development details for Blaze Casino.[7]
In 2021, the company was the first[8] to integrate Provably Fair,[9] a
blockchain-based feature, into BGaming's games. It serves as a verification system for online slots, allowing players to check[10] the randomness of the game results.

artificial intelligence by 90%: Alien Fruits, Wild Chicago, Luck and Magic, and Mice and Magic Wonder Spin.
In July 2023, digital media Yogonet disclosed that the game provider obtained[19] Spanish certification from BMM TestLabs. Since then, BGaming's technical system of gaming software and its games have been officially approved by the Spanish gambling regulator, Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego (
DGOJ).
In December 2023, BGaming rose to 7th place[20] globally by reach in gambling streaming, obtained 6th place in the CIS area, and secured 3rd position in the Latin American market, according to Focus Gaming News.

EUIPO.

In July 2022, BGaming developed its proprietary image compression algorithm[28] that reduced the studio's game portfolio weight by 55% and lessened game loading time, overcoming difficulties with slow internet connections and
VPN limitations.

According to Focus Gaming News,[37] in December 2023, the company became the main sponsor of the first online awards ceremony for gambling streamers in the iGaming industry, the Scatters Club Awards.[38] Other sponsors[39] were Nolimit City®, Play'n GO, Stake,
Kick, and Casinolytics.
