Ebaka’s first Hub88 deal opens distribution after Menace exclusivity

Ebaka Games is moving from a closed launch to an open distribution model. After debuting its titles exclusively on Menace.com, the studio has signed its first aggregator integration, choosing Hub88 as its route into a wider set of operator partners.

The agreement puts Ebaka’s portfolio into Hub88’s API library, so operators already connected to Hub88 can add the games without a bespoke technical build for each brand. CEO Vitalii Zalievskyi said the partnership is an important step as Ebaka scales globally.

Hub88 integration turns one build into many launches

For a young studio, Hub88 offers speed. One integration can translate into multiple operator launches, with partners able to switch content on through the existing Hub88 connection rather than starting a separate integration project.

Hub88 also adds another instant games supplier to a library that operators use to refresh catalogs quickly. But the commercial win is not automatic. Operators still decide what gets featured, and instant games depend on placement, retention, and stable performance under traffic spikes.

Exclusivity was the test phase, now performance is the proof

Ebaka has said the Menace exclusivity was designed to test and refine its games with strong analytics before opening up to new collaborations. In earlier interviews, the studio described the exclusivity period as short-term and said it would be selective as it added new partners.

Now the focus shifts to proof in live environments. Ebaka has positioned its portfolio around ultra-high volatility mechanics and formats such as Plinko, Mines, Tower, Limbo, and Crash. It has also said it has secured BMM Testlab certification and expects to launch with additional major brands in 2026. Operators will also watch update cadence and post-launch support, because instant games need quick fixes and clean releases once they are in the market.
