With the new players hub and the long-awaited sequel Merge Up 2, BGaming is retooling the iGaming experience — and winning leadership accolades along the way.
Once regarded primarily as a prolific content producer, BGaming has shifted into a player-and-community-first phase.
Instead of focusing on sheer release volume, the studio is building an ecosystem: a data-rich Players Hub, a streamer-focused MaxWin Club, and the much-anticipated sequel Merge Up™ 2.
Adding weight to this evolution, CEO Marina Ostrovtsova earned “Leader of the Year” at the SBC Awards 2024 — a symbolic capstone to a year of momentum.

The Players Hub is the clearest indicator of BGaming’s new philosophy. It offers players real-time metrics like RTP (return to player) values, trending titles, and top wins.
Registered users also gain early access to new releases and extended analytics.
If the Players Hub is about trust, the MaxWin Club is about hype. Aimed squarely at streamers on platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, the club celebrates those who hit massive wins in BGaming titles.
Members enjoy recognition, curated exposure, and prizes for standout clips.
This is more than marketing: live-streamed big wins are social proof. They travel across short-form video, TikTok snippets, and Twitter reels, attracting new players more organically than traditional ads.
For BGaming, formalizing this ecosystem means influencer content becomes a structured part of acquisition.

The original Merge Up™ carved out space by combining mobile-style merge mechanics with slot volatility, making it both streamable and highly engaging.
The sequel, Merge Up™ 2, doubles down:
Sequels in the slot world are retention tools. They lock in loyalty, extend a franchise’s shelf life, and give operators predictable promotional cycles. With Merge Up™ 2, BGaming is ensuring its portfolio stays relevant for both players and creators.

No brand story is complete without leadership. In October 2024, Marina Ostrovtsova was awarded “Leader of the Year” at the SBC Awards. The honor reflects BGaming’s broader transformation — and affirms Ostrovtsova’s role in steering the studio toward transparency and community engagement.
Her approach has been visible: interviews, trade-show appearances, and messaging that emphasizes culture, empowerment, and experimentation. The award signals to partners and investors that BGaming’s direction has credibility, and that its leadership commands respect within the industry.
BGaming is proving that innovation in iGaming isn’t only about math models and graphics. It’s about trust, community, and moments worth sharing. The Players Hub hands players the data; the MaxWin Club hands streamers the spotlight; Merge Up™ 2 hands operators a sequel designed for engagement.
And with Marina Ostrovtsova’s SBC win underscoring its trajectory, BGaming is positioning itself as not just a content provider, but a platform-builder.
