A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart, a stalwart in the gambling industry, has taken on a new challenge as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Hart, who previously served as an executive director at Tabcorp and the director of innovation at William Hill, brings a wealth of experience to his new role. His tenure at Conquer Technology began after an insightful meeting with CCO David Carter during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology is a full-service development studio dedicated to small-scale technical innovation. The company's mission is to assist firms in navigating the complexities of gambling regulation, Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and developing new betting products and bet types. By providing operators the freedom to experiment and innovate without the financial and operational burdens typically associated with in-house efforts, Conquer Technology positions itself as a vital partner in the gambling industry.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart is acutely aware of the myriad challenges facing the industry today. One of the most significant hurdles is the difficulty operators face in experimenting and testing new concepts. Handling all aspects of development in-house often results in bureaucratic delays and escalating costs. Conquer Technology offers a solution to this problem by providing a quicker and more cost-effective outsourcing option. According to Hart, managing projects within gambling companies has become increasingly complex, with more stakeholders involved today than twenty years ago. By simplifying the operational landscape, Conquer Technology aims to alleviate these pressures for operators.
A Vision for the Future
Jamie Hart’s vision extends beyond just overcoming the current challenges. He aims to tackle broader issues within the industry, such as innovating the Tote’s product—a task that has proven to be particularly difficult. In his new role, Hart has the opportunity to implement his broader vision for the gambling industry. Conquer Technology is committed to helping firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscape, empowering operators to push the boundaries of innovation in gambling.
The launch of Conquer Technology’s gambling division marks a significant step forward for both the company and the industry. All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they set their plans into motion. The success of their efforts could very well redefine the operational standards and innovation capabilities within the gambling sector.
