Live CasinosNewsBen Ingham Appointed UK Country Manager for LeoVegas, Driving Success in Digital Betting Market
LeoVegas Group, a prominent online gambling company, has appointed Ben Ingham as the new UK Country Manager. With extensive experience in the UK's online betting industry, Ingham previously held leadership positions at PokerStars UK and Sky Betting & Gaming. In his new role, Ingham will oversee a range of LeoVegas brands available to British customers, including 21.co.uk, BetUK, Pink Casino, Slot Boss, and the recently launched BetMGM UK.
LeoVegas aims to maintain a competitive edge in the digital betting market by bolstering its executive team with new talent. In addition to Ingham, the company has also hired a Director of Legal Affairs. One of LeoVegas' strategies for success is the LeoJackpot lottery, which sets it apart from competitors. Ingham's extensive knowledge of the British market and industry regulations positions him well to drive LeoVegas' growth in the UK.
LeoVegas is a highly acclaimed online casino brand that offers a wide range of gambling options, including sports betting, online slots, live casino games, and virtual table games. The platform features live dealer games from leading providers such as Playtech Live, Pragmatic Play Live, Evolution, BetGames, Ezugi, Stakelogic Live, and OnAir Entertainment.
White Hat Studios, an iGaming developer, has introduced a new promotional tool called "Win Spins" exclusively for BetMGM players. This tool guarantees a set number of winning spins on selected slot games, eliminating the disappointment of low or zero-win free spins.
The primary goal of Win Spins is to enhance the user experience and attract more users to the BetMGM platform. By offering a certain number of winning spins upfront, White Hat Studios aims to modernize how gamblers receive promotional rewards and make them more enjoyable. Initially available only to BetMGM customers, Win Spins will eventually be offered to other operator partners of White Hat Studios.
BetMGM, a major sports betting company, is currently in discussions with Twitter regarding a potential partnership. The two companies are exploring the possibility of adding betting odds and promotions to Twitter ahead of significant sporting events.
If the partnership is established, it could significantly boost engagement around popular events like the Super Bowl, which attracts millions of viewers each year. Twitter's large user base of sports fans would provide BetMGM with increased exposure, while Twitter users would find it more convenient to access betting lines during live games. For Twitter, this partnership could diversify its revenue streams beyond ads and subscriptions, aligning with owner Elon Musk's goal of increasing the platform's cash flow.
A recent lawsuit against BetMGM has been dismissed by a judge. The plaintiff, Sam Antar, accused the gambling company of encouraging him to gamble despite knowing about his addiction. However, the judge ruled in favor of BetMGM, stating that the company did not violate any consumer protection laws. Industry regulations in New Jersey, where the lawsuit was filed, do not require casinos to intervene when customers gamble excessively. As a result, the case was dismissed.
