Real Luck Group, the managing company of esports wagering platform LuckBox, has confirmed the appointment of Bo Wänghammar as a Non-Executive Director of its board. 

An expert in online gambling enterprise strategies, Wänghammar is the former Director of International Projects and MD of Casino for PokerStars (2017-to-2019) prior to the business transformative $6billion merger with Flutter Entertainment.

Prior to PokerStars, Wänghammar served as a CEO and Business Development Director of Mr Green & Co, the Pan-European online casino operator acquired by William Hill Plc for £250 million in 2018.

Wänghammar joins fellow Directors Chairman Drew Green, CEO Thomas Rosander, Lloyd Melnick and Maruf Raza on the Real Luck Group Board, replacing Mike Stevens, who resigned from his position as a Director to focus on his family and charity work.

A key appointment, Wänghammar will advise CEO Rosander’s executive team on implementing growth strategies for target markets as Luckbox expands its online gambling offering and audience in 2022

Rosander said: “I am thrilled a seasoned operator such as Bo will be joining our board. This is an exciting stage for the company as we look to scale our user acquisition efforts and revenues and I believe his experience and guidance will be invaluable to Real Luck’s growth strategy.

“His track record speaks for itself, as during his time as Director of Casino at PokerStars, he oversaw the doubling of revenues to more than US$500 million, growing the casino vertical to outperform the core poker offering. During Mr. Wänghammar’s time at Mr Green, the business grew quickly and achieved strong profitability, and we believe he was instrumental in refactoring the technical infrastructure to launch a portfolio of award-winning products.”
