A New Role for Jamie Hart
Jamie Hart is stepping into a new chapter as the head of gambling at Conquer Technology. Known for his innovative contributions as an executive director at Tabcorp and a director of innovation at William Hill, Hart has a rich history of pushing the boundaries in the gambling industry. His journey with Conquer Technology began after an insightful meeting with Conquer Technology CCO David Carter during an innovation competition at William Hill.
Focus on Small-Scale Innovation
Conquer Technology has carved out a unique niche in the world of gambling by focusing on small-scale technical innovation. As a full-service development studio, it assists firms in navigating the complex web of gambling regulations and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols. Moreover, it helps in developing new betting products and bet types, providing operators the freedom to experiment without the financial and operational burdens that often stymie progress.
Challenges and Opportunities
Hart acknowledges the myriad challenges that the gambling industry faces today. One of the primary issues is the difficulty operators encounter when trying to experiment with and test new concepts. Conducting everything in-house leads to bureaucratic delays and increased costs. This is where Conquer Technology steps in, offering a quicker and more cost-effective outsourcing solution.
"Integration is typically the biggest issue for betting companies, and that will be our number one target," says Hart. The complexity of managing projects within gambling companies has escalated significantly over the last two decades, primarily because there are more people involved in these projects today than there were before. Conquer Technology aims to simplify this operational landscape, making it easier for operators to manage their initiatives.
A Vision for the Future
While Hart has been instrumental in driving innovation for the Tote’s product, he has broader ambitions for the gambling industry. His new role at Conquer Technology offers him a larger platform to implement his vision. The company aims to help firms adapt to the ever-changing regulatory landscapes, positioning itself as a pivotal player in the industry's future.
The launch of the gambling division at Conquer Technology is not just a significant milestone for the company but also for the industry. "There’s a lot more I want to do and change [in gambling], and the Tote’s product was difficult to innovate," Hart shares. With the support of Conquer Technology, he aims to empower operators to push the boundaries of innovation, making the gambling landscape more dynamic and versatile.
All eyes will be on Hart and his team as they set forth to turn their ambitious plans into reality. By offering unique outsourcing models, Conquer Technology is well-positioned to address the increasing complexities and operational challenges that gambling companies face.
