Aloplay Appoints Alon Eshed as CCO to Drive International Growth

The technological landscape of online gaming is entering a new phase of maturity. Aloplay, a Limassol-based B2B iGaming technology provider, is positioning itself for significant international scaling. With the appointment of Alon Eshed as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) on August 13, 2026, the company is responding to the increasing demand for flexible platform solutions in newly regulated territories. This leadership change is a calculated step in a broader strategy, recently highlighted by the acquisition of a license in South Africa.

Eshed will play a pivotal role in expanding Aloplay's partner network across Latin America and other high-growth regions. His responsibilities include overseeing all customer-facing functions, including sales, marketing, and account management. The focus is not just on selling software but on fostering long-term relationships between the technology provider and the operator. In an industry often characterized by rigid supplier-client dynamics, the company aims to distinguish itself through a collaborative, partner-first approach.

Numbers and facts

Alon Eshed brings more than ten years of experience in business development and commercial leadership. A significant portion of his career has been dedicated to the iGaming sector, where he gained expertise in B2B partnerships and complex negotiations. Aloplay offers a modular architecture that covers casino, sportsbook, and game aggregation through a single API integration. The solutions are available as turnkey, white label, or fully managed systems. The recent expansion into South Africa specifically shows that the company is targeting regulated markets to solidify its global footprint.

"Technology alone is not enough to win operators. What stood out to me about Aloplay was the ambition to become more than another platform on a shortlist. The aim is to be the partner operators can build their business around." - Alon Eshed, Chief Commercial Officer at Aloplay

Background

The philosophy behind Aloplay's technological offering is centered on flexibility. Rather than relying on fixed release schedules, the company focuses on an integrated ecosystem. CEO Uri Cohen emphasizes that strong people and partnerships are essential for turning a platform into a lasting relationship. This approach is expected to be reflected in the product roadmap, which includes new player engagement solutions. The B2B services market is highly competitive, making the combination of technical agility and experienced leadership a potential key differentiator.

Why it matters for German players

Developments at B2B providers like Aloplay are indirectly significant for German players. While these companies do not operate consumer-facing casino brands, they provide the technical backbone for the platforms where users play. When a provider expands and modernizes its technology, players often benefit from more stable systems and a better selection of games. However, it is crucial for German players to only access platforms listed on the official whitelist of the Gemeinsame Glücksspielbehörde der Länder (GGL). Only these operators comply with the strict requirements of the 2021 Interstate Treaty on Gambling (GlüStV 2021). This includes a monthly deposit limit of 1,000 Euros via the LUGAS system and a maximum stake of 1 Euro per round on virtual slot machines. B2B partners like Aloplay must ensure their systems are configured to technically implement these German regulations.

What it means for GGL-licensed casinos

Casino operators with a German license depend on flexible partners who can technically map the complex requirements of the GGL. Connecting to LUGAS and implementing the panic button regulation requires a modular software architecture. When a company like Aloplay strengthens its commercial leadership and expands internationally, it suggests a high level of software adaptability. Operators in Germany are constantly looking for ways to keep the gaming experience attractive despite regulatory constraints. A strong B2B partner who acts as a strategic advisor rather than just a software vendor can make a significant difference. The focus on regulated markets, demonstrated by the South Africa license, is a positive signal for adherence to global compliance standards.
