Interview with Global Gaming Insider and Janez Gašparin

Migrating millions of player accounts from one iGaming platform to another is a complex process where data accuracy, security and business continuity are critical. 

In a recent interview with Global Gaming Insider, Janez Gašparin, Head of Data Engineering at Comtrade Gaming, discusses what it takes to successfully manage large-scale platform migrations while keeping disruption to players and operators to a minimum. 

Drawing on more than 20 years of Comtrade Gaming’s experience in platform migrations, Janez explains how careful planning, proven migration tools and incremental migration techniques can significantly reduce downtime. While true zero-downtime migration is technically achievable, he highlights why a short, carefully planned maintenance window can often provide operators with a simpler and more cost-effective approach. 

The interview also explores the growing role of AI in platform migrations. From improving data mapping and identifying inconsistencies to generating migration-specific validation scripts and analysing player activity, AI can help teams adapt migration processes to the unique requirements of each operator. 

Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The right migration strategy depends on an operator’s business priorities, technical environment, regulatory requirements and budget.
