The game developer Evoplay has been awarded for one of the most innovative marketing campaigns in the history of iGaming. The company wins the two categories Supplier Marketing Campaign and B2B Marketing Campaign at the EGR Marketing and Innovation Awards.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, commented on the achievement by saying: “Marketing and innovation are proven to be the two strongest Evoplay powers, and we’re very happy to gain double recognition at this year’s EGR awards with the two wins.”

The campaign leading to winning the awards originates from the game developer’s new casino slot, Star Guardians. The game is marketed as much more than just a video slot, enhancing the player experience by offering a third-person video game setup. The player can select between three characters in the battle against mutated insects, trying to beat the Queen.
“Our recent string of award wins serves as recognition of the hard work and dedication of the entire team in recent months, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year has in store for us. Congratulations to all the winners,” said Ivan Kravchuk.
One thing that stands out in the marketing of Star Guardians is that Evoplay has worked really hard to create a complete story – covering every little detail. There’s even an artbook and a comic book about the heroes Joe Butcher, Skyler, and Keliot.
The EGR Marketing and Innovation Awards was held in The Hurlingham Club in London on the 14th of June.
Evoplay is a Ukraine-based company primarily building video slots. The company holds over 50 titles, and no previous game has had such a big budget as Star Guardians. Evoplay also offers about 10 instant games and provides casinos with table and classic games.
After its start in Ukraine, Evoplay now has offices in several European countries. It’s also involved in networks with companies in Asia, Latin America, Europe, and The Commonwealth of Independent States.
Evoplay was created in 2017 and has expanded rapidly since. In 2018, the company released the first 3D/VR slot in the iGaming industry. Some other popular games are Temple of Dead, Cycle of Luck, Gold of Sirens, and Ellen’s Fortune.
