Mykhailo Zborovskyi: Expansion of Ukrainian iGaming solutions into global markets
The Ukrainian IT sector has historically had a significant impact on the global software development market, and the iGaming industry is no exception. As Mykhailo Zborovskyi, an expert in strategic development of iGaming products, notes: “Ukraine has all the prerequisites to turn its developments, from back-end platforms and analytical systems to ready-made gaming solutions, into a powerful export product. For example, Cosmobet already has a number of achievements in this area.” Our key competitive advantage lies in the high quality of our engineering personnel, technological flexibility, and experience working in a complex regulatory environment.
Competitive advantages of our IT sector
Ukrainian IT companies working in the gambling industry have accumulated unique experience in creating reliable and scalable platforms. These solutions are already adapted to work with large amounts of data and high transaction security requirements. The main advantages of Ukrainian product exports:
- Quality of engineers. Our developers have deep expertise in FinTech and complex game mechanics, which allows them to create products that outperform competitors in terms of speed and stability.
- Resilience. Experience working in conditions of war and constant cyber threats has forced Ukrainian teams to implement the highest standards of cybersecurity.
- Flexibility and speed. Our product teams are able to quickly adapt solutions to the specific requirements of different jurisdictions.
Mykhailo Zborovskyi recalls: “When I worked with Cosmobet, we knew that the Ukrainian market was extremely competitive, so we chose the best specialists in each field.”
Challenges of global adaptation
A key barrier to global expansion is the legal and regulatory fragmentation of the global market. For Ukrainian software to become a full-fledged export commodity, it must be successfully certified and licensed.
- The US and Canada require modular architecture, as regulations vary from state to state, as well as tight integration with local payment systems.
- Latin America requires localization for unique regional payment methods, as well as rapid adaptation to new regulatory laws.
- Asia focuses on mobile optimization, support for huge traffic, and specific cultural features of the game.
To overcome these challenges, Ukrainian companies must invest in consulting and obtaining international certificates (e.g., GLI). Such actions will confirm our compliance with international standards and demonstrate the seriousness of Ukrainian entrepreneurs’ intentions.
The prospect of international markets
Expert Mykhailo Zborovskyi, Cosmobet visionary (formerly), sees this expansion as an opportunity not only for the IT sector, but also for promoting Ukraine’s image as a technological powerhouse. Our solutions are already being integrated into various global companies.
The export of Ukrainian iGaming products will have a double effect: “It will provide foreign currency inflows into the country and demonstrate to the world that, despite the war, Ukrainian product engineering remains a leader in the development of digital solutions.” Focusing on technological innovation is the right strategy to ensure the sustainability of Ukrainian IT exports.
