Gaming platform provider Sportingtech has made a new addition to its executive team with the appointment of Tommy Molloy as chief sportsbook officer.

Molloy joins Sportingtech after three years as sportsbook and trading director at Pronet Gaming. Prior to that, he was head of sports trading at Tabcorp UK.

In his new role, Molloy will oversee and elevate the company’s sports betting offering, accelerating the evolution of Sportingtech’s flagship Quantum platform ahead of the 2022 World Cup.

Molloy will be tasked with further enhancing Sportingtech’s product offering and performance across a number of global territories, particularly Latin America, where the Quantum platform is already thriving.

Commenting on his appointment, Molloy said: “I am thrilled to be joining the talented Sportingtech team at such an important step in the company’s evolution.

“With the proven quality of our widgets and Quantum platform, the Sportingtech product portfolio is second to none, and the upcoming World Cup will be the perfect stage for us to show that.

“The strength of this offering means we can consistently offer operators the means to excel, and I look forward to helping showcase that in the weeks and months to come,” he added.

Sportingtech managing director Bobby Longhurst: “Sportingtech’s strategy for growth has product innovation at its heart, and Tommy represents another vital piece of that puzzle.”

Molloy’s appointment as chief sportsbook officer follows a string of senior hires at Sportingtech.

Bobby Longhurst was recently named as the company’s new managing director, along with Colin McDonagh as chief sales officer, Daniel Stone as head of marketing and Anthony Murphy as head of commercial account management.

Sportingtech MD Bobby Longhurst commented: “Sportingtech’s strategy for growth has product innovation at its heart, and Tommy represents another vital piece of that puzzle.

“His experience and superior knowledge of the sports betting space is hugely valuable to us, and I am confident he will achieve great things as part of the team,” he concluded.

Sportingtech’s omni-channel platform currently processes more than 500 million bets monthly from more than 3 million unique players. Its sportsbook features over 1,000 betting markets across more than 65 sports, covering 400,000+ live events per year.
