Interview with Nicola Cainero: Review of the Past Year and Strategic Vision for 2026

Interview with Nicola Cainero, COO of Timeless Tech
 

Q1: Nicola, how would you describe 2025 for Timeless Tech?

Nicola:
This year was about consolidation with real momentum. Every major indicator moved upward, proving that we can scale operationally, commercially and technologically at the same time. In a competitive landscape that shifts monthly, adaptability became one of our strongest advantages.
The year was not only successful but also foundational. It created the structures that will support an even stronger 2026.
 

Q2: Gaming turnover grew significantly. What drove that performance?

Nicola:
Turnover increased by more than eighty percent compared to the previous year. Growth at that scale is never accidental. It resulted from consistent volume increases across all product lines, greater visibility of our aggregator content and stronger traction in core markets.
As more operators scaled with us and more regions activated, the volume followed naturally.
 

Q3: The content portfolio also expanded. What guided your approach?

Nicola:
Our strategy was to strengthen and diversify the catalogue with solutions that genuinely support operators. We introduced new proprietary tools, enhanced key features and increased the overall number of available solutions by more than thirty percent.
This broader scale is especially important in LATAM and crypto oriented ecosystems where operators need agility and mechanics that resonate with next generation users.
 

Q4: How did the client portfolio evolve?

Nicola:
We expanded across all target markets and added more than twenty new clients this year. What I value most is our retention rate, which remains one of the strongest in the industry.
Our approach is based on partnership. We take time to understand operators, their internal structures and the ecosystem they are trying to build. This creates long term relationships and sustainable growth.
 

Q5: Timeless Tech also reported strong results in crypto oriented operations. What does this mean for the company?

Nicola:
Crypto oriented platforms are among the most dynamic segments in iGaming. Working with these operators exposed us to advanced technical frameworks, new transactional flows and a very innovative player demographic.
The knowledge gained this year will influence several of our upcoming initiatives. We already have multiple go lives scheduled with next generation crypto operators in the first quarter of 2026.
 

Q6: On the international front, how would you summarise 2025?

Nicola:
This was the year we fully consolidated our global footprint. We opened a technical hub in Tbilisi to expand our development capacity, and we established an operational branch in Rio de Janeiro to strengthen our position in Brazil and LATAM.
We also obtained platform certifications for Brazil and Peru, which are essential milestones for accelerating regional expansion. Our team grew by more than thirty percent, showing that we invested not only in markets but also in people.
 

Q7: BetExchange is becoming a major pillar. What is next for this division?

Nicola:
BetExchange is one of our fastest moving verticals. Market demand is strong, especially in regions where liquidity control and alternative betting flows provide strategic advantages.
During 2026 we will release new features, strengthen technological partnerships and finalise agreements with top tier operators. The roadmap is ambitious and aligned with market expectations.
 

Q8: Looking ahead, what is the strategic vision for 2026?

Nicola:
The upcoming year will be decisive for structured and sustainable growth. Our objectives include consolidating our presence in traditional markets, completing certifications for Colombia and South Africa and expanding further across South America where we are already active in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.
South Africa stands out due to its technological maturity and significant volume potential.
 

Q9: What does organic and sustainable growth mean for Timeless Tech?

Nicola:
It means growing with intention. We will continue strengthening our technological infrastructure, expanding our team, enhancing compliance, innovating our products and increasing automation with AI driven tools.
To support this evolution, we plan to onboard ten new team members across Legal, Compliance, Marketing and Research and Development. Scalability and sustainability must progress together.
 

Q10: How important is the partner ecosystem for the company?

Nicola:
It is one of our most valuable strengths. In an industry undergoing simultaneous regulatory and technological transformation, partnerships provide stability, shared expertise and a forward looking mindset.
Growth is never the work of a single entity. It happens because the ecosystem advances together.
 

Q11: LATAM has been a strategic priority. What is the status of the LATAM Hub?

Nicola:
The LATAM Hub was initially planned for 2025. We decided to complete the setup with even stronger foundations before launching it. The hub will become operational during 2026 and serve as our regional center for technical operations, commercial alignment and market coordination.
This structure will bring us closer to operators, partners and regional workflows.
 

Q12: One of the most unique initiatives this year was Timeless Passion. What inspired it?

Nicola:
Timeless Passion was created from the idea that a technology company can have a positive impact beyond business. It is our space for supporting community projects, sports, education and cultural initiatives.
The response from partners has been very strong. During 2026 we will expand the project and integrate it more deeply into our identity. It reflects who we are as a company and as individuals.
 

Conclusion

Timeless Tech enters 2026 with clarity and a strong foundation.
The achievements of 2025, the expansion of our product and client portfolio, the entry into new markets and the strengthening of our partner network position the Group for an exceptionally strong year ahead.
Our priorities remain clear. Grow sustainably. Innovate continuously. Support operators with reliable and high performance solutions. And build a company that creates value both inside and outside the industry.
