About the Author — Stepan Shulga

Full Biography

Stepan Shulga is a general manager and product leader for iGaming projects with two decades of esports experience. His career began in esports as a TV host, stage host, interviewer, editor, producer, executive producer, and salesperson.

At Starladder, he helped organise and broadcast esports events across Ukraine, CIS countries, China, Brazil, the UAE, and other markets — gaining a deep understanding of global audiences and how betting intersects with competitive gaming culture.

In 2018, Stepan moved into betting with Parimatch, helping the brand attract esports customers and make esports a meaningful sportsbook vertical. This role required translating the passion and culture of competitive gaming into product positioning that resonated with a betting audience — skills that directly inform his casino review work today.

After LATAM operational work and B2B iGaming platform sales experience, Stepan now drives esports offering growth for Stake.com while working full-time at Easygo in the Melbourne, Australia timezone. His position provides genuine insider knowledge of how online casino and esports betting products are built, marketed, and operated at scale.
