More iGaming data from other countries are now available, thanks to Blask’s recent initiative.

Blask, an AI-powered data and analytics platform for iGaming, increases its reach to as many as 107 countries, which includes those from various continents like Asia, Africa, and Europe.

Max Tesla, the CEO and co-founder of Blask, expressed his intention for making Blask a major provider of reliable market data analysis for the iGaming industry. Blask now holds more than half of the world’s iGaming analytics.

“When we launched Blask last year, we made a commitment to bring in-depth, real-time iGaming market intelligence to the whole world. We’re now more than halfway towards completing this mission. Every new market we add brings more clarity to an industry that has operated in the dark for far too long.”

It's worth mentioning that in September of last year, Blask brought on Greg Penkov as Chief Revenue Officer to drive its commercial growth. Around the same time, the company partnered with BetBlocker to enhance responsible gambling measures and improve operator identification through data sharing.

Based on the latest Blask update, users can finally gain access to the market analytics of the following countries:

  • Chad
  • Jordan
  • Kuwait
  • Madagascar
  • Mauritania
  • Moldova
  • Niger
  • Qatar
  • Somalia
  • South Sudan
  • Tunisia
  • Ukraine
  • United Arab Emirates
  • Zimbabwe

Blask offers comprehensive, real-time insights that help iGaming operators and game suppliers make informed, data-driven decisions. This enables them to assess, for example, whether investing in a particular country is worthwhile.

Blask’s recent update focuses on countries where iGaming data was previously limited. One particularly notable insight comes from Ukraine, a country currently affected by conflict with Russia. The report shows a decline in the iGaming industry, with only around 100 operators currently active in the region.

In comparison, Somalia’s iGaming industry faces even greater challenges, with only 87 brands (all international) operating in the country.

As a strict follower of Islamic law, all forms of betting are banned in Somalia. Coupled with widespread economic difficulties and high levels of poverty, these factors make it extremely difficult for the Somali iGaming sector to develop or attract investment.

Nevertheless, Blask announced that it will continue expanding its coverage to additional countries, providing deeper insights into current trends and the behavior of the global iGaming industry.
