Strengthening the Board
Betsafe has announced that the 2008 year could see as many as three new Board of
Directors for the online casino gambling site. Johan Kinnander was just
appointed to the board last week, and will lend his extensive expertise in the
internet marketing industry to the company as it continues to grow into the
Scandinavian market. Betsafe has currently has a large share of the Scandinavian
gamblers, but more online casino gambling marketing expertise will go a long way
toward making the company truly competitive as more internet gambling companies
begin to compete for that specific market.
The European online casino gambling market is tricky because of the current
fight to eliminate protectionist gambling monopolies in a dozen of the 27 EU
member-states. Betsafe is one of a number of European and Malta licensed online
casinos looking to take advantage of the booming growth in the industry. As the
European Commission negotiates to end the monopolies, Betsafe and other
companies are boosting their foundation and looking to fully saturate the
European gaming and betting market in the coming year.
Kinnander is the CEO at Glife AB and will also serve on the Betsafe Board of
Directors. He is an acknowledged online casino industry veteran and his support
will boost the company’s presence in the European gambling and betting market.
Kinnander comments, "I believe that Betsafe's business will increase extensively
in the coming years and I hope I can contribute with my knowledge and network to
help them make this trip as smooth as possible." As for the two other additions,
Betsafe anticipates announcing the new board members in the latter half of the
year. |
