What were the expectations and goals for this ICE edition?

From WorldMatch we aim for any operator that wants to grow alongside us even if localised in a single area or country or operating as a global entity. That said, ICE 2023 has been the place to meet many prospective customers to discuss together what we have been talking about during the previous months.

What novelties did you present ?

We have presented a new model of instant games as of Moon Flight, a revolution in igaming, an actual pinball! it is an amazing flipper RNG game but I would also speak of a synergistic collaboration for the distribution of LIVE bingo as a unique and exclusive product. Beside that, we continue producing high standards quality content.

How was the visitors feedback like?

Most of the visitors coming to the stand already know WorldMatch and our 20 years of experience we have as a company established in Italy but providing online casino games to operators around the world.  

That said, if we talk about the novelties then most of them were impressed by the new model of games when talking about the new pinball concept plus also the Live Bingo. 

It is a must to see well known faces at the show and get positive feedback, ICE is the place to be in February.

In which markets is your company currently present?

We are a worldwide company, we can say that. From Europe to Asia, passing by LATAM also. Then, WorldMatch has become a global company and is expanding more and more year after year with new deals and partnerships.

Obviously, there are markets where we are a mature and huge-experience provider as Italy and then new areas such as Latam where we are at that level of opening new markets and targeting new potential customers. 

How do you see the European market at the moment?

Talking globally it is hard to mention how such an agile market is doing or where the market goes. At WorldMatch we are backing that market as consolidated in general terms. 

It is a marketplace where you need to bring the best product, and do your best as a company to have strong chances of success in such a  competitive environment. 

Otherwise, you will be out of the top markets or will have a tough way to reach the European market. Plus, in a moment where merging companies are happening more often than never before. Strategies are more sharp than a decade before. Everybody is trying to be positioned at the best place. What´s fair enough! 

What is your opinion regarding the change of location of ICE expo for 2025 and in which of the 4 cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and London) would you like this show to be held?

London has been the place per ICE and talking about ICE has been talking about London at the end. Now, it seems that a rotation is coming for ICE

Well, for us, wherever the new place is or where the show is going to be held in 2025 will be great. All we can say is that we will be happy to be there, it doesn't matter the new location.

Can you tell us the goals and plans for this year and in which countries would you like to expand or grow?

That´s is a sure thing, WorldMatch goals are keeping strong in mature operators and markets where we are, consolidating those markets where we did entry a few years ago and expanding our brand into new markets or where we just have a recent presence so far.

However, in terms of countries we would say Belgium, Portugal and Spain per Europe. Mexico and Brazil in LATAM and also some interesting African and Asian markets to focus on. 

Which other trade shows are you going to participate in this year? 

Definitely, WorldMatch will join ENADA Rimini, IGBLive Amsterdam, SBC Barcelona, SiGma Malta. Also, we will also have a team presence in some other relevant events throughout the year.
