When and why you started working in this industry?
Margaritov: I started back in 2001 as an affiliate, as I saw the market holds quite the opportunity at the time. I was mostly involved in sportsbooks and casinos. Then in 2010 decided to found UltraPlay, as a software development company for the online gambling industry.

Our proactive approach allows us to set the bar higher and lead the industry’s trends so that we successfully establish ourselves as market leaders in many aspects of the online gaming business.
Having been the first in a very dynamic industry such is gambling, we have achieved to establish Blockchain technology back in 2012 with the first Bitcoin-based online gaming casino on the market. Since then we have recorded tremendous increase in the players’ usage of Bitcoin as a payment method. Solidly building our grounds, we are now experiencing the results of our dedication and innovative vision as Blockchain-based projects in various industries are blooming right now.
The aim of your company is to build the most advanced platform by constantly innovating and keeping up to date with the new technologies. This is a very difficult task. How can you overcome the difficulties this rapidly changing industry faces you?
Margaritov: Gambling is a very fast-developing sector following the latest technology and business trends. It has its specifics and challenges that with the right approach can be turned into advantages. With our vision and mission to provide highest quality products and services, we were able to become one of the leading iGaming providers worldwide. Our diverse portfolio of the hottest online betting solutions nowadays is a strong advantage for us.
Betting on eSports is becoming more and more attractive to traditional bookmakers as it’s appealing to the next generation of players. In the beginning, we were the one to promote our eSports betting solution. Now the products we develop stand for itself and operators are coming directly to us as the market leader providing unrivaled eSports betting data and advanced gaming platform.

What are the major problems, challenges this industry has to face and what solutions would you suggest for these problems?
Margaritov: Our aim to improve certain aspects of betting that players experience motivated us to start the eGold project and Buff 88 platform and offer a Blockchain-based betting. You can see the whole idea on: www.egold.gg. Briefly, through Blockchain technology the two major industry’s problems – lack of transparency and the insufficient security are easily solved through eGold tokens. On the other hand, Buff88 will offer a disruptive solution for a Blockchain-based betting. What does that mean? The blockchain functionality ensures that each bet once placed is absolutely secured – it can’t be deleted, it can’t be declined, it can’t be limited, your stake is locked until the match is over and your profits will be automatically paid out thanks to the smart contracts.
