About Us

The idea of Evolution was born in Sweden in 2006. It was inspired by the world-renowned casino in Monte Carlo. Using the rapidly emerging technology, Evolution founders Jens von Bahr, Fredrik Österberg and Richard Hadida wanted to bring the excitement from the live player experience in to the home.

From that came our brand promise of delivering a product which was AS REAL AS IT GETS, and our key corporate value ALIVE.

In our first studio in Riga, Latvia, we had the BBC newscast running in the back to prove that it the game was done in real time.

We started out trying to copy a land-based casino, and then realized that we are everything BUT a traditional casino. The experience that we offer is unique.

We have worked hard to not only build a company, but also a product category. Most of our growth has been organic, but in 2018, we bought Ezugi, adding a second Live Casino offer to the Group. In 2020, we acquired NetEnt AB, which broadened our offer to also include Online Slots and added both the NetEnt and Red Tiger brands. In 2021, product brands Big Time Gaming and DigiWheel were added to our line up and in 2022, we acquired Nolimit City.

Today, we operate as a Group, sharing the same base in terms of values and ambition, but with seven strong product brands, each with their own distinct character.

There is no roadmap for how to build a global company like ours. We have had to figure it out along the way. That is no smooth journey. We would never have been what we are today if we had not constantly been challenging ourselves and pushing the limits of what had been done.

‘There is no blueprint for what we are trying to do. And like most things in life, it is a bit like a rollercoaster at times. One cannot shy away from the uphill climb as that is what gets you to the next level. The reason that we never stop moving is that we have great people who stick together, keep leaning forward and learn from every challenge. We never stop.’

This entrepreneurial spirit remains at our core. It is what drives us forward. Our success comes from a lot of great ideas, teamwork and just pure hard work. But our main advantage is our will to win.

We believe in fair play and we try harder.

That is how we create our EVOLUTION.

We think of work as more than something you do to earn a salary. We believe it is also a place for social interaction and for personal growth. And for fun. We invent together, we build together, we do sports together, we give back together.

We GROW together. Just as in business, we strive to lead the way as an employer and as a corporate citizen. We believe our core task as an employer is to provide our people with a platform for growth. Professional and personal. Then it is up to each individual to make the most out of it.

The same philosophy goes for our work in society. Our most valuable contribution is empowering and enabling our people to do good. For themselves and for all of us. Healthy employees can encourage others to make sound choices. A big part of our environmental efforts comes from our people inventing better and smarter solutions which are more environmentally friendly.

Our job as an employer is to provide a platform and support with the means. Then it is our people who make the real difference.

We have close to a 100 nationalities in our teams. Our youngest team member is 18 and our oldest is 59. The average age in our teams is 32. To some, we are the very first step in their career, to others, we are the place where they refine their skills and expand their professional horizon.

We see this diversity as an enormous strength. In fact, we believe it is a key reason to our success.

For us, ambition and dedication are just as important as work merit. We operate in an industry where we constantly break new ground. Hence, we rely on innovative, curious people who like to challenge themselves and push the limits.

We depend on having access to different perspectives.

Our people drive our EVOLUTION.
