Dmitry Belianin

Dmitry Belianin is a seasoned investor, entrepreneur, and marketing strategist with over 19 years of experience in the iGaming and sports betting industries. He began his career at 17, building affiliate websites and engaging in online poker while studying software engineering. Realizing that software development was not his passion, he pivoted to affiliate marketing, which allowed him to combine his interests in poker, marketing, sports, and coding. He successfully sold his first company at the age of 19, a pivotal moment that cemented his entrepreneurial mindset.

Belianin spent five years as a key leader at Parimatch, a global operator, where he served as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and Chief Commercial Officer (CCO). In these roles, he was responsible for marketing, branding, and revenue generation, building international, highly talented teams that delivered substantial revenue growth. He transitioned from his CMO role in 2024 to become an active iGaming investor and entrepreneur, focusing on supporting founders and investing in promising companies.

Currently, Dmitry Belianin is the Co-founder and Managing Partner at Blask, an iGaming analytics company that launched an AI-based market intelligence tool in May 2024. Blask provides real-time, in-depth data and insights on markets worldwide, aiming to transform iGaming strategy from guesswork to data-driven precision. He is also a Co-founder of 15M Media, an educational platform for iGaming professionals, launched in 2024, which focuses on knowledge sharing, collaboration, and accelerating innovation within the industry through concise, high-value content and an interactive community.

In 2025, Belianin founded Menace, a gambling and media brand that aimed to blend online gaming, sports coverage, and digital content. While the operator part of Menace was sold in May 2026, Menace Media spun out as a standalone business, focusing on its highly successful media operation across various sports verticals. He is also a Strategic Advisor and Partner at Traffic Squad and a Managing Partner at Already Media. Belianin is known for his passion for technology and marketing, his dedication to mentoring, and his belief in empowering leaders to foster scalable growth.
