Looking back on 2015, it was not a big year for innovation within the larger iGaming operators and suppliers, but we saw a great deal of innovation coming from start-up companies.

ICE Totally Gaming, GiGse, EiG, iGaming Entrepreneurs and incubators such as William Hill’s “WH Labs” provided spotlights for such start-ups, creating a buzz within the online gambling industry.  CalvinAyre.com even launched a ventures program to connect solid ideas with investors, another sign creativity and innovation has been thriving in start-ups.

While there are only five start-ups listed below, we’d like to salute all the entrepreneurs for innovating and pushing forward new ideas in our industry throughout 2015 and encourage the same momentum, if not more, for 2016.
