Matthew Charlesworth has joined Digitain as the Managing Director of its casino division, as the company moves forward with its 2022 strategy. 

Describing the new hire as an ‘veteran’ of the casino and online gaming sector, Charlesworth joins Digitain ahead of an ‘exciting year’ for the company, with primary responsibility for showcasing its live dealer product. 

Speaking on his new position, Charlesworth commented: “I am delighted to be joining Digitain and their fantastic team in their beautiful capital city of Yerevan.

“It’s an exciting time for us as we will soon be showcasing our new Live Dealer product direct from our brand-new studio based in the spectacular new headquarters, Digitown. I’m very much looking forward to introducing our new Live Casino to our existing and future partners at ICE in April.”

Prior to joining the sportsbook and casino provider, Charlesworth most recently headed up and coordinated Entain’s live casino product and operations, whilst bringing a ‘wealth of experience’ into his new role from other positions in the casino and live dealer space. 

Vardges Vardanyan, Digitain Founder, stated: “I am extremely pleased to welcome Matthew to the Digitain family. His many years of experience in both the land-based and online live dealer spaces will add leadership, quality and real value to our operation. 

“I look forward to the successful development, launch and innovations of our own new Live Dealer product, with Matthew at the helm, ensuring the very best experience for our partners and their players.”

Outside of its casino activities, Digitain has made preparations to its sports betting offering ahead of the coming 12 months, having been certified by Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) for its sportsbook platform, covering Event Wagering Systems and Interactive Gaming System.

The firm underwent strong trading performance in 2020, whilst securing partnerships with notable companies such as AstroPay, with this collaboration specifically revolving around the terms of a marketing referral deal. 

By linking with AstroPay, Digitain aims to provide its partners access to AstroPay’s portfolio of payment products, including the AstroPay Card and its OneTouch wallet.
