In addition to Armes, the company has also recently hired Jonathan Gauci as SVP of technology, to further strengthen his team. We also see Stephen Borg entering the company as director of data and Jan Flores becoming the director of production operations. These recently employments are happening because the company is gearing up its management to oversee the roll-out of the next generation of the new platform services, data and front-end platforms with an aim to be the platform of choice in iGaming.

Company officials say that in order to build the most flexible, efficient and scalable product they need to have the very best tech management.
