Salsa Technology signs Diego Mourglia as new CTO
Salsa Technology has announced that Diego Mourglia has joined the company as its Chief Technology Officer. Mourglia is a highly skilled and experienced top-level professional who previously held the CTO position at Salsa.
In his new CTO role Mourglia will focus on applying his expertise to develop Salsa Technology’s iGaming offering and drive growth for the company. A core part of his duties will be launching Salsa’s proprietary sports betting platform, Salsa Sportsbook, which is being designed especially for Brazil’s upcoming regulated market.
“Salsa is a very interesting and rewarding project for me and I’m very happy to take back the reins of the brilliant tech team as we grow the business. We will be concentrating on enhancing the product and preparing for the regulations in Brazil, which I believe is an excellent opportunity for the entire sector”, commented Salsa Technology’s returning CTO, Diego Mourglia.
He initially joined Salsa in January 2014 as Development Manager. In May 2017 he was promoted to the CTO position which he held until December 2020, when he left the company to launch an entrepreneurial tech project within Latin America.
Mourglia’s appointment completes the senior level team at Salsa after André Filipe Neves came on board as COO in the summer. Salsa further strengthened its leadership team ahead of an exciting period for the business by promoting Eliane Nunes to Head of Marketing and Sales.
“Diego knows the company and Latam market incredibly well and we couldn’t be happier to welcome him back into the business. His rich experience will be invaluable as we push the company forward and deliver on a number of exciting tech projects.” said Salsa Technology’s COO André Filipe Neves.
Soft2Bet, a leading casino and sportsbook platform provider, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and activated its membership in Ontario, Canada, following its licensing in the Canadian province.
Soft2bet obtained its Certificate of Registration from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) at the end of March, where the company’s Ontario-focused brand Tooniebet.com will now feed into IBIA’s world-leading sports betting integrity monitoring platform before worldwide implementation in the coming months.
IBIA includes over 50 of the world’s leading sports betting and gaming companies, who operate over 125 sports betting brands. Soft2Bet’s decision to join the association further strengthens its own internal betting integrity protocols and IBIA’s position as the world’s leading sports betting integrity monitoring body.
David Yatom Hay, General Counsel at Soft2Bet, commented: “Soft2Bet is delighted to be joining the IBIA as we strengthen our own betting integrity monitoring processes and play our part in furthering the IBIA’s long-standing work on this key issue. Ontario is a world class iGaming jurisdiction; it will be the first market where we will implement our IBIA membership and we look forward to deploying the monitoring infrastructure worldwide in all the other markets in which we operate.”
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “Soft2Bet is a very welcome addition to IBIA, further strengthening our position in the Ontario market. The operator’s decision to join IBIA demonstrates its desire to utilise the best integrity protection available for its sportsbook product. The association is delighted to be able to integrate Tooniebet within our integrity monitoring system and looks forward to working closely with Soft2Bet to maintain the high integrity of its sportsbook.”
IBIA is a not-for-profit body that has no competing conflicts with the delivery of commercial services to other sectors and is run by operators and for operators to protect regulated sports betting markets from match-fixing. IBIA’s global monitoring network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool, detecting and reporting suspicious activity in regulated betting markets.
Through the IBIA monitoring network it is possible to track transactional activities linked to individual customer accounts. IBIA members generate more than $300bn in annual betting turnover (handle), accounting for approximately 50% of the global commercial regulated land-based and online sports betting sector, and in excess of 50% for online alone.
IBIA recently released a report on the Availability of Sports Betting Products which highlighted Ontario as a leading regulated gambling jurisdiction, with an expected onshore channelisation for sports betting of 92% in 2024 forecast to rise to 97% in2028. IBIA currently represents over 60% of the private sports betting operators licensed in the province. All online sportsbetting operators licensed in Ontario are required to be part of a betting integrity monitoring body.
IBIA’s Q1 2024 report detailed 56 alerts during the quarter. IBIA alerts contributed to the investigations and subsequent successful sanctioning of 21 clubs, players and officials in 2023, an increase on the 15 sanctioned in 2022.
