## Armin Sageder Takes Helm of Playtech’s Consolidated Sports Arm
Playtech, a major player in the gaming software and solutions sector, has named Dr. Armin Sageder as Chief Executive Officer of its recently merged sports unit, Playtech BGT Sports.
This new branch unites a formidable group of over 600 personnel from Playtech’s acquired sports wagering companies: BGT, Geneity, Mobenga, and Unilogic. This powerhouse collective, with centers in Nicosia, Malmö, Vienna, London, Bremen, and Sofia, will also integrate Playtech’s in-house sports trading group.
Answering directly to Playtech’s CEO, Mor Weizer, Sageder will manage all facets of Playtech BGT Sports, encompassing operations, customer connections, and the establishment of a robust leadership structure.
Sageder, recognized for establishing the online payment firm paysafecard and co-founding BGT in 2005, recently divested a controlling interest in BGT to Playtech. He will maintain a 10% share in the newly established Playtech BGT Sports.
“This opportunity fills me with immense enthusiasm,” remarked Sageder. “By merging the innovative drive of BGT with the proficiency and assets of Playtech’s skilled individuals, we have a prospect to construct something genuinely exceptional for our clientele and their patrons.”
“We are entirely dedicated to investing in our platform, offerings, and services to provide an unmatched betting encounter that advantages both our associates and their users,” he concluded.
They strived to equip operators with the knowledge, resources, and skills necessary to attain their objectives and excel in the industry. These are the standards they’ve grown accustomed to from Playtech and BGT,” Weizer remarked.
He elaborated, “Armin is ideally suited to guide our sports wagering offerings to new heights. I’m delighted he’s embraced the role. We possess a wealth of talent within our ranks.”
Playtech BGT Sports provides premier platforms and solutions for prominent sportsbook operators, alongside distinctive multi-channel offerings poised to continuously transform both physical and digital sports betting.
