GR8 Tech Named Best Sports Betting Provider in CEE at GamingTECH Awards 2025
GR8 Tech has been named Best Sports Betting Provider in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) at the GamingTECH Awards 2025. The recognition, delivered at the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit, is a testament to GR8 Tech’s high-performance sportsbook solutions, client-centric approach, and commitment to AI-driven innovation.
“Winning this award is a stepping stone toward our larger vision to become the #1 sportsbook-driven platform by 2028,” said Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech. “This achievement proves we are on the right track. By combining top-tier technology with business-first thinking, we help our clients in CEE and beyond grow revenue, improve operational efficiency, and deliver betting experiences that drive long-term success.”
This win follows another recent major recognition from International Investor Magazine, which awarded GR8 Tech the Best iGaming Platform Europe 2025, highlighting the company’s growing leadership in the iGaming space.
Pushing Boundaries with AI-Driven Innovation
A key differentiator for GR8 Tech is its fast and scalable, AI-powered sportsbook, built to maximize operator revenue through advanced margin management, personalization, and region-specific optimizations. Operators benefit from automated odds engines, predictive retention models, and AI-driven CRM automation, cutting process times from 2 days to 15 minutes. With AI driving up to 30% revenue growth and 75-80% higher retention when paired with an expert team, GR8 Tech delivers a smarter, more efficient, and highly engaging sportsbook experience.
The company’s thought leadership in AI was also showcased at the summit, where GR8 Tech’s Head of AI, Raid Arfua, hosted a hands-on workshop on AI applications in iGaming CRM, and discussed the rise of AI-based recommendation engines in sports betting, strategies for managing AI-associated risks, and the challenge of distinguishing true innovation from hype in a panel discussion “The Rise of AI in Gaming: Friend, Foe, or Industry Game-Changer?”
As GR8 Tech advances toward becoming the top global sportsbook platform, it continues to elevate industry standards with advanced AI and operator-focused innovation. The company invites iGaming leaders to explore its next-generation solutions and be part of the transformation shaping the future of sports betting.
