Bragg Gaming Names Yaniv Sherman Chief Executive Officer
Sherman brings Over 20 Years of Expertise and Accomplishments to Bragg, Including 15 Years as a Senior Executive for Leading Global Online Gaming Operator
Bragg Gaming Group, a global iGaming technology and content provider, announced that it will appoint Yaniv Sherman as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer, effective July 1, 2022. Mr. Sherman brings to Bragg more than 20 years of experience in leading global teams across the gaming, software and online gaming sectors, including, most recently, 15 years as a senior executive at 888 Holdings plc (LSE: 888). The Company also announced that Mr. Sherman’s appointment marks the conclusion of the Board of Directors’ review of strategic alternatives, which was announced in November 2021.
Mr. Sherman joins Bragg Gaming Group from 888 Holdings plc, where he served as Senior Vice President and Head of U.S. from 2018 to 2021. In that role, he led the creation of a 15-year joint venture that allows 888 to use the Sports Illustrated brand in the U.S., signed partnerships with Caesars Entertainment and the Delaware Lottery, and developed their U.S. customer support and online marketing teams. In addition, Mr. Sherman headed Dragonfish, 888’s bingo-focused B2B arm, and facilitated its divestment in 2021. From 2017 to 2020, he served as Senior Vice President and Head of Commercial Development, during which he oversaw corporate development, gaming content and epayments partnerships, market research, competitive intelligence and B2B.
Commenting on Mr. Sherman’s appointment, Bragg’s Chairman of the Board, Paul Godfrey, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Yaniv Sherman to Bragg Gaming Group as our new Chief Executive Officer. His extensive industry experience and strong record of success, including many years of senior management leadership and accomplishments for a leading global iGaming operator, makes him ideally suited to lead the Company’s ongoing execution of our successful growth initiatives. Yaniv’s strong record and his expertise in the global iGaming industry, most recently in the U.S. market, will drive value for Bragg as we leverage our recent acquisition of Spin Games, our growing internal game development capabilities, partnerships with leading third-party game studios, and iGaming platform capabilities to establish and quickly expand our presence across the rapidly growing and evolving U.S. online gaming landscape. Yaniv’s appointment brings to a close our strategic review process and signals our intention to leverage our deep array of assets to drive long-term organic growth and build value for our shareholders.”
Mr. Sherman added: “I am honored and excited to join Bragg’s strong and deep leadership team and help drive the Company’s ongoing growth. Bragg’s business momentum reflects consistent execution on its strategic growth initiatives, including its successful entry into new European regulated iGaming markets since the beginning of 2021. In addition, the recent additions of the Spin Games and Wild Streak Gaming studios represent an attractive opportunity for growth and continued expansion of Bragg’s offerings in the North American market, as they integrate their content, products and services with the core Bragg team and platform to offer a differentiated, best-in-class online gaming proposition to existing and future partners. I am very much looking forward to working with Bragg’s board, management and partners in pursuit of these exciting opportunities to deliver ongoing revenue and cash flow growth.”
Mr. Sherman holds both a BA in Business and Human Resources and an MBA from Ben Gurion University in Israel.
EveryMatrix has expanded its partnership with tier-1 operator Pinnacle powering its new casino in Ontario, Canada, using CasinoEngine platform technology – the first time its platform solution has gone live in North America.
The latest agreement builds on the two companies’ previous collaboration that saw EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine productivity platform power the well-known brand’s global casino offering.
The new launch takes the relationship to North America, marking EveryMatrix’s debut CasinoEngine platform integration in that market.
BonusEngine, EveryMatrix’s cross-vertical bonusing tool will be integrated in the second phase of launch. This will equip Pinnacle Ontario with a host of bonus types as well as AI-powered bonus abuse solution Bonus Guardian.
BonusEngine is the first of multiple engagement tools from EveryMatrix’s EngageSuite that Pinnacle plans to integrate.
With this comprehensive toolkit at its disposal, and the opportunity to add even more casino products in the future, Pinnacle Ontario can tailor campaigns, segment audiences, and reward players more effectively, creating a world-class digital entertainment experience for its customers.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
Stian Enger Petersen, CEO, Casino, EveryMatrix, said: “This launch marks a key milestone for EveryMatrix as we bring our market-leading CasinoEngine platform to Canada for the first time.
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with Pinnacle and support their ambitions in Ontario with a powerful combination of platform, content, and engagement tools that are proven to drive success.”
As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
