A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a seasoned professional in the gambling industry, has taken on a new role as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart's extensive experience includes positions as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill. His tenure at Conquer Technology commenced after meeting Conquer Technology's Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) David Carter during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology distinguishes itself by its focus on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, the company assists firms in navigating complex gambling regulations and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols while developing new betting products and bet types. The aim is to provide operators with the freedom to experiment and innovate without being burdened by financial or operational constraints.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is acutely aware of the numerous challenges facing the gambling industry. One significant hurdle is that operators often find it difficult to experiment and test new concepts. Handling everything in-house can result in bureaucratic delays and elevated costs. Outsourcing efforts to Conquer Technology promises to be quicker and cheaper for operators.
The complexity of managing projects in gambling companies has also increased over the years. Hart observes, "There certainly seem to be a lot more people involved in projects now than there were 20 years ago. I'm hoping we can provide a unique outsourcing model." Conquer Technology aims to simplify the operational landscape for operators, making it easier for them to manage projects and focus on innovation.
A Vision for the Future
Hart's vision for his new role extends beyond addressing existing challenges. He aims to tackle the broader issues facing the gambling industry. Specifically, he acknowledges that innovation in the Tote's product has been quite challenging. "There’s a lot more I want to do and change [in gambling], and the Tote's product was difficult to innovate," Hart notes. His new role at Conquer Technology offers a broader scope to implement his vision for the industry.
Conquer Technology is committed to helping firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes. The launch of the gambling division is a significant step for both the company and the industry as a whole. By empowering operators to push the boundaries of innovation, Conquer Technology aims to lead the industry into a new era. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they execute their ambitious plans.
