As we strategically expand across various regulated markets, it is vital that we realign our leadership team and business unit structures.

Good to know: The Digitain Founder reflected on the company’s 2024 in Gambling Insider’s January/February magazine
Last year saw Imagine Live make a variety of expansive moves across the European continent. After expanding into Georgia and receiving approval from the Swedish Gambling Authority in August, the provider also penned a new partnership with Betera in Belarus in Septemeber. Most recently, however, the company launched its live dealer tables in Serbia via partnership with King.rs.
In related news, the organisation’s parent company, Digitain, also attained a licence from the Gambling Commission in September 2024.
Commenting on this latest announcement regarding his new appointment, Martin Martirosyan stated: "I am excited to take on the role of Group CEO. Imagine Live is poised for greatness, with operations expanding across continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and beyond.
"Our organisation exemplifies excellence in its leadership, culture and technology delivery, as evidenced by our numerous international and local industry peer-to-peer awards. I am ready to drive this next phase of Imagine Live's growth story forward."
