In one of the episodes, incoming card turnover exceeded 9.8 billion tenge.

Bet Settled, Funds Distributed: How New Deduction Rules Affect Kazakhstan's Bookmakers

Why Localization Matters in iGaming
Why Localization Matters in iGaming
Localization in iGaming exists to adapt more than just the text. It adapts the entire user journey to a specific market: from the first touch with an ad, through sign-up, identity checks, payments, and support.
