What VELI GROUP does
Veli Group is a privately-held iGaming holding company operating a dual B2B technology and B2C gaming model across three continents (Africa, Europe, Asia) through 10 locations. Its B2B arm, VeliTech, provides a modular iGaming technology ecosystem comprising the HORIZON player account management platform, the VeliGames aggregation platform (single API to 35,000+ games from 160+ providers), a sportsbook product, the VeliEDGE AI-driven CRM, the VeliPayments processing layer (PCI DSS Level 1 compliant) and supporting modules such as no-code CRM, agent reselling, and a unified reward API. The B2C arm, VeliBC, owns and operates consumer-facing brands including CASONGO (global flagship in Africa and Denmark), Spilleboden (Denmark), BlueChip.io (India), and PLAYONGO (Africa, formerly Paridirect), supported by in-house game studios VeliPlay (crash/instant games, Best Crash Game Portfolio at SiGMA Asia Awards 2026) and Heaven of 7 (slots).
The company monetizes through three streams: (i) B2B technology licensing and platform/aggregation fees paid by third-party iGaming operators, (ii) transactional revenue from its owned B2C brands (sports betting, casino, virtual sports, lotto), and (iii) indirect monetization through VeliPartners, an affiliate/partner program promoting CASONGO, Spilleboden and Casino999. GTM is a hybrid of direct enterprise field sales for VeliTech, multichannel B2C acquisition (radio, OOH, influencer collaborations, Telegram communities, AFCON-style sports sponsorships) for VeliBC, and event-driven demand generation via ICE London, SiGMA Africa and SiGMA Asia. The dual B2B+B2C structure is positioned as a validation flywheel: every product is battle-tested through owned brands operating in multiple regulated markets (Denmark, Congo, DR Congo, South Africa, India, the Philippines, Southeast Asia) before being sold to third-party operators.
Veli Group reports 600+ employees (200+ engineers), 40M+ users served across all markets, and core compliance credentials including PCI DSS Level 1 (VeliPayments), SOC 2 Type 1 (VeliEDGE) and GDPR-aligned privacy practices. Leadership includes Group CEO Itai Hadas, VeliBC CEO Tal Zamstein (appointed September 2025), CFO Asaf Koma (ex-E&Y Israel), COO Giorgi Aleksidze, and CPO Darren Calvia (ex-Ladbrokes Coral/GVC/Entain). The company has grown organically through partnerships, rebrands (Paridirect→PLAYONGO, Casino999→CASONGO Denmark) and aggressive geographic expansion rather than disclosed external venture funding.
