GeWeTe has appointed Petar Bachev as sales director for the Balkans area.

He will be in charge of developing a clear strategy for the Balkan market to significantly strengthen the presence of GeWeTe. Most of Bachev’s career has been in the gambling industry.

For the past 14 years, he has been involved in R&D, business strategy, production and sales, working with both the bricks-and-mortar business and with online gambling companies.

“We are very happy to have acquired such a competent colleague in Petar Bachev. I am sure he will be instrumental in strengthening our presence in the Balkans,” Aristidis Tsikouras, CEO of GeWeTe, said.

“The gaming industry simply appeals to me. Now being a part of GeWeTe and thus also a part of the Gauselmann Group makes me really proud. I am very much looking forward to mastering future challenges and celebrating future successes,” Petar Bachev said.

EGT has become a partner of the Bulgarian Tennis Federation and will sponsor its activities.

“In our company, we believe that sport is very important and the decision to support the Federation is a natural result of this understanding of ours,” stated Mr. Vladimir Dokov, CEO of EGT. “We are glad that we have the opportunity to contribute to the development of Bulgarian sports and tennis in particular.”

Stefan Tsvetkov, President of the Bulgarian Tennis Federation, also shared his positive expectations about the collaboration with Euro Games Technology: “We are very happy with our partnership with a company of the caliber of EGT. I am confident that after the long period in which our work opportunities were limited due to the COVID crisis, this cooperation will strengthen our sport and will set the stage for upward steady growth. I express my gratitude and respect to the management of EGT for all the trust and support.”

BETBY, the innovative sportsbook supplier, has further broadened its footprint after opening an office in Montenegro.

The site, based in the city of Budva, will see more than 15 members of the team relocate to the heart of the Old Town on the Adriatic, across a range of departments.

In addition, the space has the potential to expand capacity and act as a base for global personnel looking to relocate for the summer period, as the supplier continues to focus on employee wellbeing and encourage hybrid working.

It becomes the third office opened by BETBY, following locations in Latvia and Malta, as it continues its impressive growth. In 2022, its headcount almost doubled to more than 80, with the provider enjoying another strong commercial year.

Leonid Pertsovskiy, Chief Executive Officer at BETBY, said: “We’re delighted to be opening our brand new office in Montenegro. In a gorgeous part of the country, it resonates with our ethos of creating work environments that our employees are proud of, and we’re confident it will add to what is set to be a fantastic 2023 for us.

“With it being a full-time office, as well as a space for staff to treat it as a ‘getaway’ destination, we can’t wait to fully utilise the benefits of our latest location, and look forward to growing further over the course of the year.”

BETBY will be attending the ICE London exhibition, hosted at the ExCeL London, between 7^th-9^th February. They can be found at stand S1-130.
