Ahead of ICE Barcelona 2026, Bragg Gaming Group’s Chief Commercial Officer, Neill Whyte, shares insights into the company’s growth strategy, its expanding footprint in Brazil and the U.S., the evolution of its proprietary content, and the roadmap toward becoming an AI-first organisation.
Exclusive interview.- As the global igaming industry enters a pivotal year shaped by regulation, technology and market diversification, Bragg Gaming Group is positioning itself at the intersection of content, platform innovation and data-driven engagement. In this exclusive interview with Focus Gaming News, Neill Whyte, chief commercial officer at Bragg Gaming Group, discusses the company’s expectations for ICE Barcelona 2026, the strategic pillars driving growth across LatAm and North America, and how proprietary content, localisation and AI-powered engagement tools are redefining Bragg’s value proposition for operators worldwide.
What are Bragg Gaming’s expectations ahead of ICE Barcelona 2026?
ICE is a very important tradeshow for Bragg and a fantastic way to start the new year. We’re keen to hit the ground running after the festive break and will be showcasing some of our top-tier igaming content at our stand, as well as the latest updates and information about our turnkey technology solutions. From an internal, learning perspective, tradeshows like ICE are an excellent means of finding out the latest industry trends, as well as seeing what your peers are doing and why.
Bragg Gaming closed 2025 with strong financial momentum, particularly in Brazil and the United States. From your perspective, what are the strategic pillars that will define Bragg’s growth in 2026?
We have made some great progress in Brazil, the wider LatAm region and the North American market, which is something we’ll definitely look to continue throughout 2026 and into forthcoming years. At a wider international level, we will continue with our objectives of growing our revenue from proprietary (in-house) igaming content as well as growing our content and technology footprint across regulated markets. We’ll also be keeping a close eye on the potential of new markets which are considering regulation or moving to an open licensing system for igaming operators, such as Finland, Poland and France.
In addition, we want to achieve true diversification in the spread of our igaming content and technology solutions across regulated markets and reduce our reliance on markets where regulatory headwinds could affect our growth. We’re building more tools and upgrading FUZE™, our player engagement-led marketing and promotional toolset, throughout 2026. Another pillar, something which may not be the defining growth story of Bragg in 2026, but something which has the potential to springboard our growth in the coming years, is our adoption of AI-based technologies into our business practices, with the aim of becoming a truly AI-first business in 2027.
You’re forecasting that Brazil could represent up to 10 per cent of total revenue in 2025. What KPIs or market signals will you be watching most closely to measure traction, sustainability and long-term market fit?
In respect of key performance indicators, we’re looking at how our proprietary and exclusive content is adopted by our operator partners, how it is placed on site, together with the impact of any promotional activities and the success of the game releases. Another important metric we use is market reach, i.e. how many operators we are live with, and our aim has always been to go live with as many operators as possible. We also look at how we’re retaining our partners and expanding our operations with them, including by delivering new content studios on our Bragg HUB aggregation platform. In addition, we closely follow marketing trends in the region to provide our customers with that strong marketing expertise, expertise which comes from a deep understanding of client needs and our product portfolio, and positioning that portfolio to offer relevant and competitive content. To respond to these trends, Bragg is uniquely positioned to offer players in the region a more dynamic player engagement through FUZE, currently deployed across many markets, and something which enhances the marketing and promotional experience of our partners.
Bragg has also been scaling rapidly in the US, securing launches with Fanatics Casino and new proprietary RGS integrations. What differentiates your proprietary content and technology strategy in a highly competitive U.S. landscape?
A key focus for Bragg is the differentiation of our content. On the one hand, our in-house studios, Atomic Slot Lab and Wild Streak Gaming, specialise in transitioning content from the land-based market into the online space, an approach supported by partners like Sega Sammy Creation and Bluberi. On the other hand, studios like Indigo Magic, Boomerang Studios, 4Leaf Gaming and Reflex Gaming focus on bringing pure innovation to online casinos and are very much targeting a younger demographic with their content.
Another big focus for us is localisation. Using player data, we create games and mechanics that are specifically tailored to player preferences and markets like the US, which is something which separates us from the competition.
It is this diversity in our offering, coupled with the localisation, that allows us to reach as wide a player base as possible and offer games that cater to every player’s taste. Going into 2026 and 2027, we’re planning to continue with this cadence of games roll-outs and find additional strategic partners, and continue to grow our business as a content provider. This rollout is augmented further through the addition of the FUZE toolset to many of our titles, both exclusively and in conjunction with our partners.
At Bragg, we dedicate a significant amount of time and resources towards dedicated projects and games with our operator partners. This allows us to provide specialised support to our partners, delivering a more bespoke service, something which is unique to the players of each brand.

More broadly, Bragg is placing strong emphasis on engagement mechanics powered by AI and dynamic behavioural adaptation. What specific advancements can operators expect next from your AI and innovation teams?
Bragg is currently executing a strategic blueprint to become an AI-First organisation over the next two years, shifting from treating AI as a tech-silo to a foundational horizontal enabler. Our core focus is the “Netflix-ification” of igaming, utilising a centralised “Artificial Intelligence Brain” to move from broad player segments to a unique, personalised experience for every individual. This transition is designed to maximise Player Lifetime Value (LTV) through an integrated ecosystem that mirrors best-in-class digital entertainment, addressing unsustainable customer acquisition costs by ensuring superior engagement and retention.
Operators can expect immediate value through advancements like an AI-powered Recommendation Engine for dynamic lobby curation and a predictive FUZE™ toolkit that delivers personalised and adaptive gamification features, as well as automated bonuses tailored to real-time behavioural signals to maximise ROI. Simultaneously, we are driving massive operational leverage by augmenting high-impact workflows in areas like AML/fraud investigations, customer support and regulatory reporting. By 2027, our target is for AI-enhanced products to be the standard, providing our partners with a smarter, faster, and more insight-led competitive advantage.
What are Bragg Gaming’s goals and objectives for 2026?
Our central goal of becoming the must-have online casino content and igaming technology supplier to the global igaming industry has not changed and it is a goal we’re working actively to arrive at. In terms of 2026, we want to continue to build on our already stellar content growth in LatAm by adding some new partners in the region. I’ve already mentioned our AI objectives, which are key to the business in 2026, but also we want to expand our technology offering in North America. Diversification is a key objective for Bragg, as we look to ensure the long term success of our business, with the increase in revenue from proprietary content and growth in key regulated markets also strong drivers in 2026.
