the industry. Maybe I could legalize on- line gambling around the world. Online gambling is impossible to hide, and it’s impossible to ban, so the best way is to make it legal, safe and secure for people. What do you think the industry will look like in five years? I think online gambling will move to blockchain. What’s your approach to SEO and drawing traffic to your site? SEO is very important in my business. I had a SEO manager who did this work for my sites, but it was not enough. Now, we are ready to spend almost 80% of our time on SEO, because we are sure that we really offer the best services for bettors. How much time do you devote to so- cial networking for your site? Almost none. We have groups in popular social networks, but we don’t update them. We are planning to give this work to our em- ployee. Social networking is very important in our industry. What’s the most difficult thing about running your site? CMS is the most dif- ficult thing, but we are planning to develop our own CMS. What do you do to stay in shape – both physically and mentally? I spent five years to find my method to stay in shape, and I have found it. Med- itation Sahaj Marg (or Heartfulness) for my spiritual growth and kung fu for my physical health are best for me. Both of these methods give me energy, strength, a clear mind, and harmony inside and outside. What did you dream of doing, both professionally and personally, when you were a kid? When I was a kid I dreamed of having my own shop and own- ing a business. My mother told me that it was impossible, because my parents didn’t have enough money, but I told my mom that I would have my own business and would become independent. Also, when I was a little girl I had some thoughts about God. Nobody could explain me the nature of God, and I always wanted to know more about God. If you won $10 million playing the lottery tomorrow, what would you do? Nothing. Really, I don’t know. I would meditate, meditate, meditate until I heard my soul’s voice with fur- ther instructions. If someone from out of town were visiting you, what’s the one place you’d definitely take them to see? Park Drozdy. It’s my favorite place inMinsk. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you take with you and why? A pad for med- itation, a lighter for fire, and a knife for coconuts and other fruits. If you could invite any five peo- ple, living or dead, to dinner, who would they be? Both of my meditation teachers, Master Kamlesh D. Patel, Mas- ter Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari and Master Ram Chandra Babuji. Also, I would invite a sixth person – my Master of Kung Fu, Li Hong Tai. I’m very happy that I know such great people who help me grow internally. Name three things that people reading this magazine don’t know about you. 1. I wake up at 5 o’clock. 2. I practice meditation Sahaj Marg. 3. I have a black belt in kung fu. Ten years ago, I couldmanagemy casino website alone without anyhelp and almost without anySEOknowledge .
