André Schuartz, Founder of Everest Games, a company shaped by performance, speed, and real operator needs. In 2026, as the gaming industry becomes increasingly focused and results-driven, operators are no longer looking to simply add more content—they’re seeking reliable partners who can deliver consistent performance and long-term value.
Founded in Brazil, Everest Games has earned its reputation through efficiency, simplicity, and strong collaboration with operators. Rather than positioning itself as just another supplier, the company focuses on creating practical partnerships that make integration seamless and performance sustainable.
We speak with Schuartz about the journey behind Everest Games, what operators value most in their collaborations today, and the company’s priorities for the year ahead.
Can you tell us a bit about Everest Games and how the company began?
André Schuartz: Everest Games was built with a very practical mindset from the beginning. We wanted to create a company focused on execution—delivering stable, high-performing content and being a partner operators can rely on day to day. Starting in Brazil played a big role in shaping that approach.
It’s a market that forces you to be efficient, responsive, and realistic about what operators actually need to succeed. You quickly learn that it’s not about promises, it’s about delivering consistent performance, strong support, and content that resonates locally.
At the same time, the pace of the global market pushed us to build with compliance and responsible gaming in mind from the start age-gating, KYC/AML readiness, and operator controls are not “extras,” they’re essential.
Starting in Brazil, what did that market teach you as a company?
André Schuartz: Brazil teaches you speed and reality. It’s a huge, competitive market where you don’t win with promises you win with execution: stability, payments, support, and content that matches local taste.
It also taught us the importance of localization and operations: not just language, but player behavior, device performance, peak traffic patterns, and how promotions and retention actually work in practice.
What do operators usually value most about working with Everest Games?
André Schuartz: Operators typically value three things about us.
First, performance that shows up in the numbers, with games designed to drive engagement and retention—not just look good. Second, a true partner mindset, reflected in fast responses, practical solutions, and a roadmap that’s open to operator input. Third, flexibility and speed—whether it’s launch timelines, localization, or promotional ideas—allowing us to move quickly without compromising stability.
We try to be the kind of provider that’s easy to work with: clear communication, no drama, and consistent delivery.
How do you make it easy for operators to integrate and manage your games?
André Schuartz: We focus on removing friction from the entire integration process. Most operators want content live quickly, with minimal operational burden, so we support distribution through aggregators which have become an important part of the innovations in B2B ecosystem, enabling operators to access multiple providers through a single integration.
At the same time, we provide clear documentation, straightforward technical onboarding, and ensure operators are fully supported post-integration with responsive tech support and practical assistance whenever needed.
What are your main priorities and goals for this year?
André Schuartz: Our priorities for the year ahead are focused on both growth and quality. We plan to expand our portfolio with more high-performing titles, while also increasing the variety of game mechanics and themes. At the same time, we are going deeper on quality and compliance, with a strong emphasis on certifications and best-practice responsible gaming support. We are also focused on scaling distribution by strengthening our presence across aggregators, increasing the number of active operators, and expanding into key regions.
Alongside this, we aim to enhance operator value through better data insights, faster iteration cycles, and features designed to support retention—such as tournaments, engagement loops, and improved promotional compatibility. We’re seeing a clear shift across the industry, where the focus is moving toward retention, with operators prioritising personalised, mobile-first, and compliant experiences that drive long-term performance.
