While attending the start of the 2026 iGaming conference season in Barcelona, we spoke with Bilyan from Felix Gaming, who has spent more than a decade in the industry — from land-based casino operations to launching Felix Gaming in 2017.
In this interview, Bilyan explains why the next major shift in iGaming won’t simply come from building games with AI, but from understanding how different markets require different delivery models — from sweepstakes to crypto-driven solutions.
He also offers honest advice for newcomers entering what he describes as a highly competitive and close-knit industry, where patience and resilience are key to long-term success.
To close, Bilyan shares a personal side beyond gaming: his passion for futsal, where he serves as president of one of Bulgaria’s most successful clubs competing on the UEFA stage.
