As 2024 comes to an end, we decided to do a yearly recap together. In this ChiefsClash episode we gathered Dmitry Belianin, the Founder and CEO of Belianin, as well as Marija Hammon, the Marketing Director at Relax Gaming and Ruzanna Elchyan, the Head of Gaming at BetConstruct.
Can you recap your year from industry, company and personal perspectives?
Ruzanna: In 2024 many new iGaming companies have been introduced to operators and players offering high quality games, and they seem to have established a strong brand, although they are new to their work. Ethic and professionalism already show that they have great potential for success. Probably the leaders and founders of these companies are the people who left top tier companies. On the company level I want to mention that Bet construct is a big family, people are warm and friendly, and I'm happy to be part of it. I'm not specifically trying to achieve personal goals, it happens naturally, there is always a place to take responsibility, and I'm grateful for my journey with my company.
Marija: I think that there's been an increase in the potential for operators to reach, new player bases. For example, the rise in crypto casinos, and sweepstakes-related casinos, which people have sensed sizable opportunities with, and that has led to an evolution in the sphere as well for game providers. I think a big one is, of course, the demand for high volatility products, especially to satisfy streamer communities. But then there is regulation that naturally puts parameters on that tech. Secondly, obviously the thing we are all talking about in the industry, and outside of it is AI. It's become far more prevalent in conversations throughout. And it's just massive in terms of optimization, tracking and a variety of opportunities. Personally, it was an amazing year, since in January I was appointed as a Marketing Director. I also won my 1st award this year for positive role model of the year at women in iGaming awards, also I was able to participate in 2 panels. It was my 1st time on stage, I think since high school.
Dimitry: I think we're probably now going through the biggest behavioral shift in the Internet history, probably since it has been invented. I think AI Internet search and the Google overall were extremely scared of what's going on. And the operator and the affiliate sides suffered a lot. I think this is where a lot of companies they either had to close their assets, sell their assets, or probably rethink their future. So I think I've been one of fortunate enough people to start this year as entrepreneur and go back to the journey, which I was always kind of into: investing, mentoring, building companies. So talking about my company, this has been probably the most stressful and the most foundational years of all of my life. I found a very important balance in health, in task management like how to properly manage hundreds of inbound tasks. But as the result, it's been the most successful year of all times for me, the company and the people I've involved with.
