Gaming Innovation Group Welcomes Richard Carter – New Platform & Sportsbook CEO!

Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG), a reputable B2B brand, has announced a new major move that will significantly improve further development of the company.

In recent days, the developer expanded its reach by launching its casino content in Portugal thanks to the latest partnership with GoldenPark.

Veteran s the Team!

GiG has so far secured several important moves and all thanks to the team of people behind the name of this brand. This time, the team of experts is ed by Richard Carter in the position of Platform and Sportsbook CEO!

The appointment aims to ensure a capable and seasoned leader for the Platform and Sportsbook division in preparation for the Company’s anticipated division into two distinct entities.

Earlier this year, Gaming Innovation Group, plans to separate the company into two individual brands. By doing so, it will get even more chances to optimize development opportunities, while improving both businesses by ensuring particular strategic and economic flexibility.

This way, both brands will grow and expand faster and more effectively.

Getting to Know the New Team Member

Richard Carter is first and foremost a professional who has extensive experience in this industry. This iGaming veteran has previous experience as CEO of SBTech where he spent 5 years. His task was to lead the brand’s merger with digital sports entertainment.

He guided the deal between SBTech and DraftKings, a digital sports entertainment and gaming company, in a three-way arrangement involving Diamond Eagle Acquisition Corp in April 2020.

Additionally, he recently held the position of CEO at Bragg, a provider of online casino and gaming platforms listed on both Nasdaq and TSX.

However, when it comes to his new role, Carter’s responsibility will encom the strategic direction of GiG’s Platform and Sportsbook division within the international, regulated iGaming landscape. This endeavor will involve leveraging the company’s existing strong standing as a provider of its exclusive technology through Software-as-a-Service offerings to over 40 clients across 35+ markets.

Furthermore, Carter will be entrusted with the mission of transitioning the unit into an independent, publicly traded Software-as-a-Service entity. This transformation will entail harmonizing personnel, technology, product offerings, and procedural advancements to stimulate innovation and efficient implementation across all sectors.

Proudly taking up the new position, Carter says: “I am delighted to become the Platform and Sportsbook CEO of GiG at such an exciting time in the Group’s development. With its outstanding data led proprietary technology platform, sector leading regulated market coverage and diverse product portfolio, the GiG Platform is exceptionally well positioned to maintain its recent strong growth momentum. I can’t wait to get started and am very much looking forward to working with the GiG Platform and Sportsbook team, building on the strong progress to date, and over time helping to unleash and extract the full potential of a standalone GiG platform.”

Satisfied with a new colleague, Petter Nylander, GiG’s Chairman of the Board commented: “We are very pleased and excited to announce that Richard Carter will GiG as Platform and Sportsbook CEO during Q3, 2023. The Board believes Richard Carter has the relevant experience, given his success as CEO of SBTech and has shown an impressive and deep understanding of the GiG business, its opportunities and provided thoughtful strategic considerations on how to build on the recent success of the Platform and Sportsbook business and driving shareholder value.”
