“OnlyiGaming is an excellent resource for anyone new to the iGaming industry”
Mihail Criclevit, the founder of OnlyiGaming, shares the vision behind his innovative platform, designed to address a pressing need in the rapidly expanding iGaming industry.
What sparked the idea for OnlyiGaming? Was there a specific need or gap in the industry that motivated you to launch the platform?
The idea for OnlyiGaming originated from recognizing a major gap in the iGaming industry, a need for a centralized, transparent platform featuring a comprehensive database of companies. As the industry grows rapidly, finding reliable and curated information about iGaming companies becomes increasingly difficult. I wanted to develop a solution that unites the entire industry, including B2B suppliers, operators, and affiliates, in one place.
Can you give us a quick overview of the main features and functions of OnlyiGaming? How is it different from other directories or review sites out there?
OnlyiGaming is a dedicated platform for iGaming professionals and companies
We are the only B2B directory in the iGaming industry that integrates a review functionality, enabling users to give and receive genuine feedback on listed companies.
Unlike other platforms that charge for listings, OnlyiGaming is completely free to use, removing barriers and ensuring a more inclusive database. In the near future, we’ll be introducing an iGaming calendar focused on webinars and educational content, rather than just live events. This will provide valuable resources for professionals eager to enhance their industry knowledge. Additionally, partners will soon be able to publish their PR directly on the platform, giving everyone a voice.
Signing up is free and allows full control over your company’s profile. If your company isn’t claimed yet, you can claim it and become its admin, ensuring full control over the information displayed. This is just the beginning and many exciting new features are currently under development.
With so many new iGaming companies popping up, how do you make sure the information on OnlyiGaming is reliable and accurate?
Reliability is our top priority. We have a team that manually verifies each listing before it goes live on the platform. In addition to our internal verification process, we actively encourage users and industry experts to leave reviews and report any discrepancies.
What kinds of companies are you looking to partner with on OnlyiGaming, and what’s the main benefit for them being listed on your platform?
We’re aiming to partner with all iGaming companies whether they are operators, game developers, payment providers, affiliates, or independent consultants. The key advantage for them is enhanced visibility and credibility. Being listed on OnlyiGaming allows companies to connect with potential partners and clients, while strengthening their brand reputation in a rapidly growing and competitive industry. Since our platform is free to use, there’s no financial barrier to entry, giving every company, big or small, an equal opportunity to showcase their business. In the near future, partners will also be able to publish their PR directly on the platform, further increasing their visibility.
How do you see OnlyiGaming growing in the next few years? Are there any new features or updates in the works that you’re excited about?
We have ambitious plans for the future. Currently, we’re developing the second version of the website, which will introduce even more exciting features. What users are seeing now is just our MVP, representing only about 25% of our full vision for the platform. Over the next few years, we aim to expand our coverage to more regions, positioning ourselves as the largest and most up-to-date database of iGaming companies. We believe that there are more than 10,000 companies in the iGaming industry, and we plan to have them all listed on our platform.
We’re also enhancing our filtering system, allowing users to easily navigate software suppliers or providers by country and regulatory status. Upcoming features include the iGaming calendar, which will highlight both live and online events. There are countless webinars and podcasts offering incredible value to the industry, but currently lack a central place to promote. Additionally, we’re developing a gig section where users can post and find projects, similar to UpWork, specifically tailored to the iGaming industry.
What have been some of the biggest challenges in getting OnlyiGaming off the ground, and how did you manage to work through them?
The biggest challenges we faced were related to development. The first version of the website was never launched because I wasn’t satisfied with the product’s look and feel. This led to a complete redesign and redevelopment, delaying us by about a year.
Another challenge was building trust in a new platform within such a fast-moving industry. While we’re still very new, we’ve been receiving positive feedback from industry professionals. Our platform is growing every day, and it’s encouraging to see both big and small companies registering and actively using it. Managing rapid growth and offering free services posed challenges, but we’ve scaled operations and remain committed to keeping the platform accessible to all.
For someone new to the iGaming world, how could OnlyiGaming help them connect with others and grow their business?
OnlyiGaming is an excellent resource for anyone new to the iGaming industry. It offers valuable information about industry size, contacts, company details, and real reviews from experienced professionals.
We’ve already received messages from users telling us how much the platform helps them in their daily work. We’re excited to grow quickly, reach more people, and see them use it regularly, especially with new features being launched soon.
