Lottery.com Announces Changes to Executive Management Team and Board of Directors
Lottery.com Inc. announced that United Capital Investments London Ltd. (UCIL) has agreed to enter into a funding agreement with the Company. The terms and conditions of the deal are not disclosed. The Company said it will disclose specific terms and conditions of the deal once both parties have finalized the definitive agreement.
The Company also announced changes to its Board of Directors and executive management aimed at further enhancing corporate governance and strategic leadership, by drawing from deep talent within the world of finance, entertainment, and sport. These changes reflect the Company’s commitment to sustained growth and innovation in the gaming, sport, and entertainment industries.
New Interim CEO
On July 20, 2023, the Board of Directors made the decision to terminate Mark Gustavson from his role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In his place, Matthew McGahan, Chairman of the Board of Directors, has been appointed as interim Chief Executive Officer.
McGahan brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role, having been an integral part of the Company’s turnaround to date. This appointment ensures the continuation of the management of the Company under a safe, talented, and skilled pair of hands.
New CFO
On July 14, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Robert J. Stubblefield as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Stubblefield brings with him extensive financial expertise, having recently served as the chief financial officer of Demeta Inc. and Regnum Corp. His successful tenure as a financial executive in various start-up, early-stage growth, and public companies speaks to his ability to drive the Company’s financial strategy and revenue initiatives.
“Mr. Stubblefield has been a key member of the consulting team that helped the Company regain regulatory compliance with Nasdaq. The Company was extremely fortunate to find someone with his background to step in and assume a leadership role over the last four months, during which he gained significant knowledge about the Company and its operations. His wealth of financial experience and leadership will be invaluable as we begin to execute our growth plans now with the support of our new investment partner, UCIL,” Interim CEO Matthew McGahan said.
“I am eager to join the Lottery.com team at such an important time for the Company. I look forward to leveraging my years of experience to guide the Company in implementing sustainable financial processes and controls. I am grateful to be working alongside an energetic group of leaders to advance the Company’s strategic goals, rebuild our domestic and international revenue engines, and focus the Company’s efforts on delivering maximum shareholder value. It’s an exciting time to join this organization as we prepare to fully realize the revenue-generating power of our two primary assets: lottery.com and sports.com,” said Rob Stubblefield, Lottery.com’s new CFO.
Independent Non-Executive Directors
In line with its ongoing restructuring and commitment to improving compliance, corporate governance, disclosure, and reporting structures, as well as boosting its offerings to customers, Lottery.com announced two new independent non-executive directors to its Board.
Tamer Hassan, renowned actor, entrepreneur, and founder of The Tamer Hassan Academy of Acting, joins the Board as an independent non-executive director.
With an illustrious career in the film and television industry, Mr. Hassan’s entrepreneurial skills have also led him to success in entertainment, sports, leisure, and hospitality ventures. He has a passion for supporting emerging talent in both the UK and Cyprus and has a strong track record in business ventures across various industries.
Mr. Hassan said: “My journey as an actor and entrepreneur, working successfully over many years with some of the biggest household entertainment brands, has given me unique insights into industry, and I look forward to contributing my expertise to the growth and success of Lottery.com.”
The second new non-executive addition to the Board is Paul Jordan, a commercial motorsport specialist with extensive international experience in sponsorship, acquisitions, and communication. With an impressive career spanning over four decades, Mr. Jordan has held senior positions with top Formula One teams and renowned motorsport brands. His ability to foster positive relationships with governing bodies, promoters, and government officials has earned him respect and admiration from peers and former colleagues.
“We are delighted to welcome both Paul and Tamer to our Board. Their vast experience and achievements in the sports and entertainment industries will undoubtedly be an asset to our strategic decision-making process,” Chairman Matthew McGahan said.
These Board changes come as part of Lottery.com’s dedication to maintaining a strong leadership team and ensuring the Company’s continued growth and success in the global gaming market.
Mr. McGahan added: “Lottery.com is committed to maintaining transparency, innovation, and excellence in its operations and governance. With the funding partner announced today and the Board changes in place, the Company is well-positioned to advance its mission and create value for all stakeholders.”

N1 Faces: Daria Maichuk — “Communication as the Key to Strong, Effective Partnerships in Affiliate Marketing”
In iGaming, many things start with a simple “hi” in chat. Messages turn into long conversations, calls follow one after another, yet the goal remains the same — to make traffic profitable. Behind every dialogue is a person with their own background, approach, and communication style — and that’s exactly what defines the success of any partnership.
Partners need to see more than just a messenger account — they need to see a real person they can trust with their traffic and their goals.
N1 Faces is a series of short and lively interviews where N1 Partners introduces the managers behind the affiliate program: their values, their workflows, and their unique management styles.
Today’s spotlight is on Daria Maichuk, Affiliate Manager at N1 Partners, who shares her journey into the industry, her approach to building reliable long-term partnerships, and how she maintains internal balance while working at a fast pace.
Daria Maichuk
Affiliate Manager, N1 Partners
Daria is the kind of manager whose calm mindset, attentiveness, and quick reaction become obvious within the first minutes of communication. She maintains a fast pace, yet always leaves room for a genuine conversation — and that’s what makes working with her both easy and productive.
How did you get into the affiliate industry, and when did you realize it was the right fit for you?
I entered the industry in 2019, starting as an account manager at an advertising network. We worked with push, pops, native — and I had the chance to dive into each vertical.
After four years, I felt the need to focus on one direction and look at the market from another angle — to understand how different traffic sources operate. The role of an affiliate manager offered exactly that: an opportunity to explore the product in depth, build long-term relationships with partners, see campaign launches from the inside, and directly influence performance.
Why N1 Partners? What aligned in terms of values and approach?
I had known about the company for a long time — since 2020. We ran push-traffic tests together, and met often at conferences. I always noticed the team’s energy, openness, and genuine passion for their work. N1 Partners felt like a place where people truly love what they do.
When the opportunity to join the team appeared, I immediately felt that the rhythm and atmosphere matched me perfectly.
What advice would you give yourself in your first month on the job?
Don’t be afraid of the information flow — trust yourself more. At first everything may seem overwhelming, but over time each puzzle piece falls into place, especially once real practice begins.
How do you usually start communication with a new partner? What’s important to understand in the first five minutes?
It’s ideal when both sides have time for a quick call — to meet, exchange expertise, and discuss all details and expectations for upcoming launches. We share the results we aim to see by certain deadlines, while the partner outlines their vision — which GEOs they want to run now and what conversion they expect.
For me, it’s important to understand how open the partner is, how willing they are to share details about their launch plans, and which approaches they intend to use. Our goal is always the same: find terms that are mutually beneficial.
How do you build trust with a partner to ensure productive cooperation?
Personal communication is key, and conferences help immensely. Face-to-face interaction allows you not only to discuss business but also to learn more about the person. Small details can significantly improve future communication and make it more trusting.
Sometimes one meeting is enough for the dialogue to become smoother, faster, and more efficient.
This personal contact becomes a bridge that simplifies any further work.
Are there cases when you need to give tough feedback? How do you do it while preserving trust and a good working relationship?
Yes, it happens — and in such situations I always rely on statistics and concrete data. Numbers speak for themselves, which keeps the conversation transparent, grounded, and efficient. We look at facts together and make decisions based on them.
Constructive feedback with clear recommendations often becomes the most valuable tool for mutual growth.
What personal communication rules help you maintain speed without sacrificing quality?
I follow several principles: be polite, listen carefully, ask the right questions, avoid interrupting, and clarify anything that may cause misunderstanding.
These simple rules help keep both the pace and the quality of communication high.
What energizes you outside of work, and how does it help in working with partners?
Anything connected to movement and social interaction: sports (three workouts a week), yoga, walking my dog, warm moments with family and friends.
Time spent outside work helps me recharge, stay balanced, and maintain my energy levels. Thanks to this, I remain attentive, calm, and ready for constructive dialogue with partners.
If not iGaming, then… who would you be?
As a child, I dreamed of becoming a flight attendant — I loved the atmosphere of travel and the feeling of being close to the sky.
Speaking of my current interests, I would probably choose marketing — maybe performance or targeted advertising. I’ve always been drawn to its dynamics and opportunities for creativity.
Name the Top-3 tools you can’t imagine an affiliate manager working without.
CRM systems and convenient communication channels
They structure daily workflow, simplify interaction, and help keep important details organized.
Monitoring dashboards and analytics tools
They make it possible to evaluate traffic quality, build reports, and make data-driven decisions.
Work devices & messengers
The backbone of daily communication — calls, quick discussions, approvals, and keeping constant contact with partners.
Phone, laptop, Telegram, and MS Teams are my essentials.
