    What does a crypto CEO who's been in the game since 2013 actually worry about?In Season 4, Episode 3 of Bet It Drives, host Yevhen Krazhan rides through Barcelona with Max Krupyshev, CEO of CoinsPaid and CryptoProcessing.com. Max breaks down the real risks in crypto payments—and why the ones most people obsess over aren't the ones that matter.He gets specific: why crypto was never actually anonymous, how fraud plays out in B2B practice, what operators should look for in a payment provider, and why demanding "zero risk" is the fastest way to kill a deal. Plus the story of 8 Bitcoin he spent—and why he'd do it again.And because no Bet It Drives episode ends politely, Max gets pushed into a prank call to his own Head of Sales during Confess or Call.Powered by GR8 Tech.Subscribe to the Bet It Drives Show—your front seat in the iGaming world.Yevhen Krazhan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yevgen-krazhan/ Max Krupyshev: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mkrupyshev/ Follow GR8 Tech: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gr8-tech

    Stake’s Marketing Leader Shares Insights | Bet It Drives Show ft. Akhil Sarin | by GR8 Tech

    Can a low-budget idea beat a multi-million-dollar sponsorship? And why do most iGaming brands still market like it’s 2016? In Season 4, Episode 2 of Bet It Drives, host Yevhen Krazhan rides through Barcelona during ICE with Akhil Sarin, CMO at Easygo and the marketing and partnerships leader behind Stake. Akhil breaks down how they think about growth when you’re building culture: why streaming-first works, how they judge partnerships, and what makes a sponsorship actually bold. He also shares a story that sounds made up until you hear the numbers, a surprisingly cheap activation that exploded into over 16 billion impressions, and why that kind of thinking is missing from most iGaming marketing teams. And because this is still an entertainment business, the episode ends with “Confess or Call”: a chaotic segment that includes a late-night call to a senior exec about a “deal” that should never get approved… Powered by GR8 Tech.

    Two CEOs, One Industry: The Uncomfortable Truths of iGaming | Bet It Drives Show ft. Cedomir Tomic & Oleksandr Feshchenko | by GR8 Tech

    Can two CEOs say the quiet part out loud, on camera, during ICE? In Season 4, Episode 1 of Bet It Drives, host Yevhen Krazhan rides through rainy Barcelona with two industry leaders: Cedomir Tomic (Alea) and Oleksandr Feshchenko (GR8 Tech). The CEOs debate on the topics most people avoid. They get specific: Cedomir breaks down what their conference spend really looks like, Oleksandr shares why their marketing budget sits at a certain sum, and they dig into why the grey market accelerated around 2016, plus why regulation in the US and UK often creates outcomes nobody planned for. And because this is still an entertainment business, the episode ends with “Confess or Call”—high-stakes prank calls, strong reactions, and a reminder that this is not a boring place.

On this ride, she shares why iGaming is still “a little bit behind” on branding and retention, what operators can learn from luxury brands about loyalty beyond bonuses, and why incremental growth should be every CMO’s missing metric.
