EvenBet Gaming has highlighted the performance of operator BoaBet following its integration with the WePlay Network, reporting a 150% increase in poker revenue between September 2025 and April 2026.
The update was presented at NEXT Summit Valletta 2026 and forms part of an ongoing collaboration between EvenBet Gaming, WePlay Network and BoaBet.
According to the companies, the wider WePlay network has recorded a 134% increase in player activity and average revenue growth of 63% across participating operators.
During the reported period, BoaBet’s poker player base increased by 15%, while cash game traffic rose by 30%. The number of active tables grew from approximately 950 to 1,250.
Average monthly rake increased from $38,000 during the first three months of the partnership to $60,000 in the most recent three-month period. March 2026 generated approximately $78,000 in monthly rake.
BoaBet, a multi-vertical operator with a primary focus on casino products, uses poker as a complementary acquisition and retention channel. Through its participation in the WePlay Network, the operator gained access to an established liquidity pool rather than building a standalone poker network.
The poker operation is supported by EvenBet Gaming’s platform, which includes tools for tournament management, rakeback programmes and game ecology controls. Operational support, player services and anti-fraud functions are provided through the WePlay Network, allowing BoaBet to continue focusing resources on its casino and sportsbook businesses.
The companies said the results reflect growing interest among operators in adding poker as an additional revenue vertical through network-based models that reduce the operational requirements traditionally associated with running independent poker platforms.
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.”
