A top-tier gambling software and systems provider, Playtech, has named Dr. Armin Sageder as Chief Executive Officer of its recently unified sports branch, BGT Sports. This emerging industry leader merges well-known brands such as BGT, Geneity, Mobenga, and Unilogic, alongside Playtech’s internal trading group, boasting a 600-person workforce distributed across important hubs like Nicosia, Malmö, Vienna, London, Bremen, and Sofia.
Dr. Sageder, reporting directly to Playtech CEO Mor Weizer, possesses extensive industry experience. He established the online payment platform paysafecard and, importantly, founded BGT in 2005. Earlier this year, he and his fellow stakeholders sold a controlling interest in BGT to Playtech, although he maintains a substantial 10% ownership in the newly established sports unit.
“This presents a remarkably thrilling prospect,” stated Dr. Sageder. “By merging the innovative drive of BGT with the extensive knowledge and assets of Playtech, we are uniquely positioned to build a genuine powerhouse that will serve both our partners and their clientele.” He highlighted the division’s dedication to ongoing investment in its infrastructure, offerings, and solutions, aiming to enhance the wagering experience for users and optimize profits for their licensees.
Dedicated to providing proprietors with the proficiency and assets they’ve grown accustomed to from Playtech and BGT, enabling them to differentiate themselves and attain their objectives,” Weizer remarked. “I’m delighted to have Armin in charge, he’s ideally suited to guide our sports wagering offerings to greater heights, expanding upon the robust team we’ve already assembled.”
“Playtech BGT Sports will furnish top-tier sportsbook providers with a premier platform and product collection, alongside a selection of distinctive multi-channel solutions that we anticipate will persist in transforming both physical and digital betting.”
