Congratulations, Tamar! What does winning the “Best Newcomer of the Year” award mean for you and Aviator Studio?
Thank you! This award is a huge motivation and a recognition of everything we’ve built in such a short time. Aviator Studio was founded with the idea of reimagining crash games—not just as games, but as emotional experiences. Being named Best Newcomer by a major industry player like BetConstruct proves we’re moving in the right direction. It’s not only a company milestone, but also a personal achievement. I was honored to receive this award on behalf of our incredible team at Aviator Studio.
How would you describe your team’s role in making this recognition possible?
The team is the driving force behind this achievement. We are a compact, highly focused group where every individual knows their role and delivers with passion. Whether it’s design, game mechanics, partner relations, or sound design, we’re all aligned by a shared vision. We’re used to building successful businesses from scratch, and Aviator Studio is a direct reflection of this mindset. Everyone treats the product like it’s their own—there’s no doing the minimum here, only collective ownership and dedication.
Could you tell us more about Aviator Studio and what makes it stand out in the market?
We’re not just another game provider. Aviator Studio was born to deliver emotion-driven crash games. From our brand identity—logo, typography, sound design—to a deep understanding of player psychology, we create a fully immersive and consistent experience across all current and future titles. This approach is already proving successful with numerous operators, aggregators, and platforms. Our focus is on expanding not just in terms of the variety of games but also through a growing network of partners actively promoting our products.
What do you believe has driven Aviator Studio’s rapid growth and market traction?
It’s a combination of several key factors: catchy brand style, quality design, exceptional talent, and a multidimensional understanding of business. We’re not just a game studio—our parent group has built the largest sports media business across 14 markets, including CIS, the Baltics, and the Philippines. We were also the founders of Adjarabet, the biggest iGaming brand in the Caucasus, later acquired by Flutter Entertainment. That business DNA translates into everything we do at Aviator Studio. We may be a small team, but we are extremely focused and genuinely care about each partner we work with. This partner-first mentality is core to our success and is reflected in the strong relationships we’ve established with operators and aggregators who believe in our vision.
What are your immediate goals and ambitions for the next six months following this recognition?
Our main focus is on expanding both our product portfolio and our partner network. More games, more emotional experiences, and more distribution channels. We are developing unique game mechanics and targeting entry into new markets alongside trusted distribution partners. We’re also making strategic investments in brand visibility, ensuring that Aviator Studio becomes a recognized and respected name in the gaming world. Whether it’s through new game releases, industry expos, or media presence—you will definitely be seeing much more of Aviator Studio.
