Real Luck Group Ltd. Appoints Head of Data as Luckbox targets superior business intelligence infrastructure
Business Intelligence a key aspect of optimising player marketing strategy
Real Luck Group Ltd. and its subsidiary companies doing business as “Luckbox”, an award-winning provider of licensed, real money esports and sports betting, is pleased to announce the appointment of David Conde as its new Head of Data.
Mr Conde, whose previous roles include telecommunications company Ericsson and iGaming companies like MoPlay and Gaming1, will oversee Luckbox’s business intelligence efforts, including optimising customer acquisition and retention campaigns: a key aspect of player marketing efforts, which is on track to commence by the end of the year.
Real Luck Group CEO Thomas Rosander said: “At Luckbox, we are striving to offer players a 3.0 betting experience and having superior business intelligence is an important part of that, so we are delighted to have David on board with us. With sophisticated use of data and AI, we are able to offer each player a highly customised experience, so that everyone feels like a VIP. As we strive to build a scalable business to become a dominant player in the space, David is an important addition to the team and his skillset will help us drive revenues through increased conversion on acquisitions and higher customer retention levels.”
Mr Conde said: “The use of data analytics solutions in the iGaming industry is key for optimizing the business. We have moved from an environment where a few traditional bookmakers dominated the sports betting and casino scene to a context where the number of competitors makes it impossible to participate without a data-driven approach. Analytics modelling is key in all the areas of the business ranging from marketing, fraud to customer support and operations. Decisions must be made based on data and the fact that most of the events are tracked as data points is something that we should take advantage of. Last but not least, the fact of having so much information should be used to provide the best customer experience based on their preferences and behaviour.”
Strive Gaming, the award-winning real money gaming platform provider for North America, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ian Smith as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). With an illustrious career spanning over two decades in the gaming industry, Smith brings a wealth of experience and expertise to Strive.
Smith’s impressive career includes significant leadership roles at William Hill, Rank Group, Flutter Entertainment (owners of FanDuel) and Game Play Network. He has been instrumental in the technical development and growth of these businesses, each at varying levels of maturity and size.
At Rank Group, one of the UK’s leading land-based casino and bingo businesses, Smith oversaw the company-wide expansion of their Player Account Management (PAM) and Omni-Channel experience, demonstrating his ability to drive innovation and scalability within complex environments. This experience is extremely valid to tribal and commercial casinos alike who are figuring out how to create an ideal connection between land based and digital experiences.
With additional experience across Class III and Class II gaming, and a deep understanding of US regulatory and technical complexities, Smith brings a unique perspective to Strive Gaming. Known for his hands-on approach to technical leadership, Smith is committed to driving innovation and excellence within the organization.
“I’m thrilled to join the talented team at Strive Gaming,” said Smith. “Having worked with their PAM product from a customer perspective, I have firsthand experience of its quality and potential. I am confident that together, we can further evolve the company and achieve our vision of becoming the number one PAM provider in North America.”
Smith’s appointment underscores Strive Gaming’s commitment to fostering innovation and delivering cutting-edge solutions to its clients. His vast experience and proven track record make him an invaluable addition to the leadership team.

This coupled with his extensive industry experience in the gaming industry make him the right person to lead our technical initiatives and helping the business achieve its goals”

Star Sports sponsors new trainer Brian Toomey’s yard
Former jockey who was pronounced dead for six seconds after a fall in 2013 has embarked on a new training career with some high-profile owners
Star Sports is the new sponsor of Brian Toomey’s yard in Buckinghamshire.
The 34-year-old, who was forced to retire as a jockey after a horrific fall at Perth in 2013 which almost claimed his life, has embarked on his first full season as a trainer, based at Bowstridge Farm in Chalfont St Giles.
After being granted his trainer’s licence in October, he has already secured some high-profile owners, including Amo Racing, Clipper Logistics, Jimmy Fyffe and Jeff Smith. Harry Redknapp provided him with his first winner when Wake Up Harry won at Kempton on 20th December.
Toomey joins leading jockey Harry Skelton and recently retired legendary rider Davy Russell in Star Sports’ stable of racing ambassadors. He will provide regular updates on the yard’s runners, his views on the biggest races and meetings during the Flat season, and video content looking back at his career as a jockey, his recovery from the fall and life as a new trainer.
“Becoming a trainer has been a dream for a long time,” said Toomey. “My story is an unusual one and I know how lucky I am to be here.
“I’m hugely grateful to all the owners who have supported me at such an early stage of my career, my landlord at Bowstridge Farm as it’s such a brilliant place to train and now to my new sponsors, Star Sports.
“I’m looking forward to telling my story as a new trainer and updating Star Sports’ customers on our runners, as well as my views on the big races and issues in the industry.”
Luke Tarr, Head of PR at Star Sports, said: “Brian’s story is truly inspirational. To achieve what he has, both in his recovery from such a serious head injury and in his determined pursuit of a trainer’s licence, shows exactly what he is made of, and we are delighted to sponsor the yard.
“He has already attracted some massive owners and we’re excited to produce some top-quality content with Brian at the beginning of what we’re sure will be a very successful training career.”
