CEO & Publisher
Bianca Máthe is Publisher of iGaming Republic. She spent close to a decade on the supplier side of iGaming, working across the sector's core verticals: platform and player-engagement technology and crypto payments. That mix gave her a working knowledge of how operators, suppliers and payment providers actually run. In 2025 she started a media project, bringing that operational grounding to her editorial work. Her output includes interviews with high-profile iGaming executives, original reports, and in-depth features covering licensing, M&A, and the operators and suppliers shaping the sector. Based in Malta, she spends much of her time getting closer to emerging sectors like prediction markets, tracking how they're developing before the rest of the industry catches up.
