Licensing and infrastructure at the core

Wazdan’s growth begins with licensing. Under Michał Imiołek leadership, the company has obtained approvals in over 20 jurisdictions, including Malta, the UK, Romania, Greece, Ontario, and several U.S. states. Each launch is carefully planned to meet local regulatory demands.

Importantly, Wazdan takes a proactive approach. Instead of reacting to new laws, the team prepares in advance. This strategy speeds up entry into new markets and reduces the risk of compliance issues. In 2024 alone, Wazdan completed more than 700 integrations. Thanks to efficient processes and strong internal infrastructure, the company can support rapid deployments while maintaining performance.

Moreover, Wazdan’s games are designed to adapt. Features like Volatility Levels, Ultra Fast Mode, and Hold the Jackpot help operators respond to local preferences. This flexibility makes the content more attractive across a wide range of markets.

A measured expansion into North America

Wazdan’s U.S. journey began in 2021 with certification in New Jersey. Soon after, the company entered Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ontario. Each move followed detailed market analysis and targeted product updates.

For example, U.S. players often prefer mobile-first games with clear jackpots and fast mechanics. Therefore, Wazdan adjusted its portfolio to match these expectations. Additionally, the company shifted focus from acquisition to retention. Through network promotions and in-game tools, Wazdan increased engagement and player value. In 2024, Gross Gaming Revenue rose by 54%, and staff numbers grew by 25%.

Technical knowledge shapes leadership

Before becoming CEO, Michał Imiołek held roles in both compliance and product development. As a result, he understands how technology, regulation, and user experience connect. While his academic background remains private, his hands-on expertise is clear. Furthermore, he ensures that teams across departments work toward common goals. This cross-functional alignment allows Wazdan to scale efficiently while staying in control of quality and delivery.
