Richard Walker joins Stakelogic after a stint consulting for various gaming companies.

Malta.- Stakelogic has named Richard Walker, a veteran of companies such as Evolution, Rank Group and Caesars Entertainment, as its new head of live casino. He will lead Stakelogic Live’s studios, products, commercial, content and operations. 

With more than 25 years of gaming experience, Walker most recently worked as a consultant for several gaming companies. At Stakelogic, he will work with the company’s head of studios, Anthony Sammut, and head of operations, Sanita Gabriel.

Stakelogic CEO Stephan van den Oetelaar said: “I am thrilled to welcome Richard to the team and for Stakelogic Live to benefit from his unrivalled experience and knowledge.

“Stakelogic Live has achieved a great deal in a short space of time but under Richard’s leadership we will undoubtedly be able to hit our goal of becoming the number one provider of live casino content in markets across Europe and beyond.

“I have been particularly impressed with Richard’s passion and dedication, and I am looking forward to working with him closely over the coming months and years.”

Walker said: “I’m delighted to have joined a company with significant desire to grow and disrupt the live casino vertical. Stakelogic Live may be the new kid on the block but we are aiming to be amongst the best in the business.”

Stakelogic recently picked up a supplier licence from the Malta Gaming Authority to offer its live casino products in jurisdictions that accept MGA licences.

Stakelogic Live is streamed from studios in Birkirkara, in Malta, and Eindhoven in The Netherlands. The supplier opened its Malta headquarters in April 2020.
